The beginning of the end

So I decided that maybe I needed an outlet to talk about the things in my life with the semi-privacy of a blog. Life is rough and things happen yet we continue to march on until finally in the end we look back and say it is done. I've fought the fight and done what I could with what has been handed to me. I have fought my battle long enough and am now ready to lay down my proverbial sword and shield and surrender. Yet there are those who go out fighting. Kicking and screaming, fighting against the enemy that is death himself.

I wish to be one of the latter. Always moving never slowing even if death has my name and number. I will never surrender. This life has been too hard and I've given up too much of myself to just lay down. I hope to say at the end "I lived and loved with all the passion that any man can muster. I will never leave without that same passion."

That being said as of now my passion is being put into school. As boring as school can be at times I'm enjoying it. Although at times I am not nearly as productive as I could be I am pushing forward hoping to one day achieve my goal. Summer school was a choice I was sure I would regret but I am really enjoying the atmosphere and the speed at which the classes are moving. It is an adventure I hope continues onward and upward with many desirable results.

There's not a lot of time or energy to put into other things but I've made a few leaps into the unknown and I'm hoping that they are for the better. I signed up for a triathlon that will take place on the 31st of this month. I said I would do it as a hasty decision but I'm really enjoying the training and can't wait to be able to compete. I've always wanted to do this type of thing and now I'm finally realizing that goal. It's taken quite a bit to get myself out and training (especially the running part. I HATE running) but it's been worth every second I've put into it.

Part of the training is biking so I went out and sought a new bike for the event. I did lots of research and found a few road bikes I was definitely interested in looking at and testing out. So yesterday I set out. I looked at probably a dozen different bikes and models finally settling on a Felt z100. $900 later I was out the door on the most comfortable rides I've ever had. I think it's without saying I spent way too much on the bike but so far I love it and will put many hundreds of miles on it.

Other than that life is ok. The drama of looking for that certain someone is always there and sometimes complicated. I've had my heart broken one too many times it feels but I will bounce back and I will continue the search. I hope that all of the women I've had the pleasure of spending time with are happy, I really do. Each and every one of them have been extremely good to me and those around them and deserve to be happy. So I continue forward and wait for my turn in the spotlight and the chance to make all the dreams I've had come true.

Well I've wasted enough time talking about my life. As always hit hard, drive forward and always keep your feet moving
