circular error

appearances are deceiving.  
face values are mostly inaccurate.  
sometimes you think the other person is at fault.
turns out you're at fault.
turns out the error was rather circular.
who cares?
just your ego.
why does it matter?
forgive and forget.
let go.
move on.

Home


Rumi:
It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.

renshu taiko


practice makes perfect.
perfection is not the goal.

I've had the flu this week.
I've taken so many tinctures that they actually taste good to me.
I've spent enough time in bed to get physically sore from it.
And I knit this scarf while listening to my itunes on shuffle.

I learned:
You can fight the flu and win (whiskey does indeed help).
Tinctures aren't bullshit.
My bedroom seriously needed to be decorated.
I still remember how to knit and I can listen to over 5 hours of itunes and not get tired of my own music.
History does not always repeat itself.
It's very convenient to live upstairs from a natural foods grocery store.

Craig Etheridge--Messenger World Champion

Craig Etheridge is a friend of mine.
But then anyone who meets Craig wants to claim him as a friend, and not just a Facebook friend.
He's salt of the earth. He's modest. He's kind.
And he's a seriously badass rider.

In this clip he says that there's an element of luck to winning. And it's true in the sense that if you don't get a flat tire, you're lucky. You can roll tuffys or you can not roll tuffys and either one can flat you out.
But Craig is a phenom. He's incredible. He's tireless. And he smiles. He's strategic and he's gifted.

My claim to fame is that I met Craig when he was filling out his application to be a bike messenger in Seattle.

And now he's World Champion.

Cheers, Craig.
