Project: Life

This is my new mantra. I don't know if that is a mantra, actually. What the fuck does mantra mean? Well I am going with it anyway - that life is just an adventure and you just ride it and enjoy it until it bucks you off.

My life has been good. My life has been bad. My life has been real.

Sweden was great last weekend. I went there to race in Goteberg and ended up basically getting my ass kicked by a bunch of Euros and some American's. It made me realize how old I am in comparison to most of the racers - and how the ones that are in my age group act like a bunch of punk ass teenagers anyway. This industry is sad in that way. How many sub-par groupies is enough to call it a sex life? Maybe I missed out on that part of the scene growing up. But it is fucking hilarious to watch. I should have stepped out of my glass house before I threw that out there...

I have a lot to look forward to and little time left to dwell. There really is a window of opportunity in life and you have to pass through it now. I look at my successes, failures and unknowns and I realize I am one of the luck ones. I am a person that doesn't just wait for shit to happen. That is a double edged sword sometimes, as it also lead me to many failures and unplanned things that didn't work out. But that is Project: Life in my opinion.

Team Solitaire is alive in me. It isn't what I hoped it would be, or even what I thought it was when I started it. But just like life, it is what it is. And it's pretty fucking rad. Good or bad.
