Hey guys,
I did a 20k bike race today and it was a really good experience. I'm proud of myself. I didnt do too bad considering i thought the race was the next day and got 4 hours of sleep, was slightly hungover, and didnt have a proper touring bike haha.
Xork- great post above. I relate to that in a lot of ways also. Putting the ego in perspective to navigate this reality and self actualize is difficult. Sometimes I just see my ego as this construct of habits- many of which I am trying to break free from and grow from. But the ego allows you to keep going further...and further (if you catch my drift) and its a beautiful thing as well- tis the paradox. Anyways, that is wonderful you have that complimentary energy with your wife. I had something similar with my exgf but extenuating factors like serious addiction and all that baggage slowly dissolved it. What a learning experience that was.
But here I am- a year older, a year wiser and am finally figuring out what makes me happy and what I love. Sure ego struggles get me down a lot but that's the flow of life.
Have a great weekend guys. I am currently preparing for final exams and looking forward to seeing some old friends soon and to do a lot of biking, camping, hiking, gardening, yoga, concerts, and good times this summer. Enjoy the May breezes.

:D ... and everyone else ... it feels good to be back in my digital home (and in my new home, the beautiful new apartment i've moved into where the ambient internet is stronger, allowing the former
