Catching up to the future at 20mph
I went cycling today at lunch finally after a long hiatus…felt great. I think it really focuses me. Of course, I totally suck again, but two rides a week for a month will fix that…then Ill just plain suck, which is better. Ill be on a long term plan of iteratively sucking less…and one day I will be able to say “Im not bad”…yeah.
But its fun and relaxing - at least when I dont feel like Im going to get killed by cars. The weather is so great it almost calls out for you to come out and play. I had forgotten how early spring hits SF.
Cycling leaves lots of time to focus and thing and as you speed forward at 20 miles per hour eventually your mind drifts forward from the present and into the fuzzy locus of events that have not actually happend yet. Its funny as you simply move forward in time that all the possibilities and potentials get collapsed into one thing - the thing that actually happend…its like the Schodinger wave function when you observe it. So it a way, maybe we’re not moving through time, just looking farther and farther.
Work is rough and the last few month it definitely was not that fun…things still look grim but theres a growing number of fun things to look forward to.
In fact tonight is “Kung Fu Hustle” which is by Stephen Chow, the Shaolin Soccer dude. Should be fun!
