radical dude!

"Blogging is to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, more alive. Blogging is writing out loud." -- Andrew Sullivan

I like that. It's as close to extreme sports as I'll ever get. Back in the USAF, there were a couple of extreme sport A-holes who would occasionally find their way to the basketball court. I couldn't stand these guys -- and not because they sucked on the hardwood. Maybe it was the forced lingo, the scuba diving symbol tattoos, and the always empty kayaking racks on their intentionally muddy Jeeps purchased with loans they couldn't afford. Whatever the reason, I've never been able to appreciate extreme sports. Sorry Tony Hawk.

See, I'm already feeling more alive
