Racing Dreams and Miserable Reality
by Slack, on October 31st, 2003
So, last night I had the most cool dream. I was at probably about 8000 feet on an unknown mountain. They had just re-asphaulted the road, and there was a brand new CBR1000RR sitting next to me. I had the keys… Oh so sweet. So, of course I hopped on and rode the mountain twisty until I woke in the morning and was basked in the miserable reality that is my world… The sad truth is I am so broke… Getting a new bike is not a near term reality for me. Especially not a new bike of the caliber like that in my dream. Oh well… Such is life. The days of dot.com disposable stock money is over, and we are truly left spoiled by it’s fun. We do have some things to show for thanks to the dot.com boom, but not nearly as much as we should… We didn’t play it right… We were quite young, however.
I do have twins on the way, and that blessing is far more important than anything bringing me down these days. Nothing else really matters beside them. They are my world now, and for that I am happy. I can’t wait to see their faces and start our new life together. Then in 7 or 8 years, I may be buying them their first motorcycle, and first snowboard. Then we can all have fun! Now if I could just get Heidi on a bike, or a board! How sweet would that be!
