Awesome New Post!

Unfortunately, I don't remember what it was.
It's like that.
I get a really good idea for some sharing, then poof! it's gone.
Well I had a really good idea for today's post, but poof! it's gone.
So instead of an Awesome New Post(ANP), you get an Old Mediocre Post(OMP).
Seriously, I got drafts sitting here from like two years ago!
I keep telling myself to just go and delete them, but some of them are actually sort of okay.
In a mediocre kind of way.
Which I suppose is why they're still drafts.
If you know what I mean.
Then again, some of the stuff that makes it to postland should have been drafts, cause they're like daft.
Inane.
Superfluous.
Goofy.
I could think of more, but I'm sort of tired.
Bad blood don't you know.
Anyways, back to the mediocrity.
So the other day, while I was riding around on Project Rockhopper, I remembered why I don't like canti brakes.
Other than them being a mind bender to adjust:



















For some odd reason or another, I keep clipping my heel on left side.
I sort of pedal heel out, sort of, but clip, clip, clip I go.
Okay, the cable needs to be trimmed, but it's not just the cable I'm clipping.
Very annoying.
Now I'm sorry I got rid of my Avid Single Digit 7s.
I did get a compliment on the Rockhopper.
Some dude said it was nicest old Rockhopper he's ever seen.
Oh yeah!
My head got really big after that.
Despite the rust.
His comment did make me think.
There I go again, doing something dangerous.
The thinking part I mean.
It's not like I get a bicycle to solicit compliments, although they don't hurt the ego.
My average speed hurts my ego so I suppose having a nice bicycle sort of like evens it out.
Nice bike.
Thanks.
Which is about how long the ego boost lasts.
Well, I was thinking(the dangerous part) about how to extend the ego boost a bit, you know, to make it worth it.
Nice bike.
What?
Your bike, nice.
What are you talking about?
Nevermind.
Dude, my bicycle is not nice.  It's like fantabulous! Stupendulicious! Awesomenatical!
Uh, okay.
If you only knew how rocking rolling dial it up to eleven this bicycle was, you my friend, wouldn't be calling it just nice!  Nice? that's insulting!  Now just you move along cause this bicycle and you weren't meant to share the same space!
Moron!
There.
I feel a lot better now.
See, it's all about taking these little moments in time and elevating them to stratospheric levels.
Astronomical even.
Even it's all in my head.
If you know what I mean.
Awesome New Post coming soon.
I promise.
Maybe.

Inane is probably better than INSANE. Unless, of course, you are crazy.

Define crazy.

Hmm, as in "Still crazy, after all these years..." Maybe inane isn't better than insane. Instead, flip a coin and either include or exclude the "S."

I still remember that SNL when Paul Simon came out in a chicken suit and sang that song.
