Sounds like a good morning ride. What...300 miles? Sounds like a good morning ride. What did you do in the afternoon? :p<br /><br />Or... a REAL adventurer would have done 300 miles AFTER pounding down 40 ounces of a man's booze, whiskey! And then he would go slap some buffalo balls. Not sat around fishing and drinking watered down fermented bread. Sounds like y'all were just wasting your lives.<br /><br />Enough chop-busting though, that's a great pic you got of your ride, the lighting just makes the shot work. Is that a liter bike or a supersport?BikerDadhttp://www.google.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-86473955634890053522013-06-18T18:10:27.749-07:002013-06-18T18:10:27.749-07:00Bikerdad,

Oh, you're NOT wasting your lives? You're offended that somebody might say such a thing? Then WTF ("where", not "what") do you get off making the charge that the couch potatoes watching HGTV and hitting Applebee's are wasting their lives? <br /><br />It is onanistic arrogance of this sort that pisses me off, regardless of where it comes from on the social/political spectrum. But to hear it from the libertarian side, where in theory each individual gets to pursue happiness in the fashion THEY deem appropriate? 'Tis sickening.<br /><br />Of course, the fellow who is happy with the "wasted life" of HGTV and suburbia must be suffering from some sort of false consciousness, right?

Where I live, the none HGTV/go-more-than-40 miles types are pretty common and it seems to fit your advice. But much differently than your examples.<br /><br />They would avoid or even dismiss the Skyline Motel people as a bunch of boring hicks (which ironically also justify as never travel more than 40 miles and kill time watching reality TV). Yet, they don't waste their time going to Applebee's and watching HGTV. Maybe there's none in your state, but can you picture those types who go to hobbies/classes after work and travels overseas. Those types who volunteer to Africa (who are a subset, many others just backpacks through Europe or something) and etc? Any thoughts on those types?<br /><br />I ask because this is not the first time I hear similar advice. Just that in the past I hear this from liberal-type people with their stories as I described above. This is kinda the first from a conservative perspective.Dreamernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-43865497752057717352013-06-17T11:03:44.113-07:002013-06-17T11:03:44.113-07:00Great story!

Wasn't too big on the character designs and it wasn't as great as other Pixar movies, but it was a pretty good movie nonetheless. <br /><br />I like how you were able to take a single line from the whole film and turn it into such an insightful blog post. It's great that you're able to travel so much too.<br /><br />Lots of people mindlessly waste time and money on the most stupid of stuff, like the reality shows you mentioned. I had a similar experience going to see Man of Steel over the weekend. The theater was jam packed, but the film itself was full of cliches, exposition problems, dumb flashbacks, and just too much style than substance. Full of the kinds of people that sit at home and watch HGTV too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166618601866526009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-82531158928354054302013-06-17T09:52:10.304-07:002013-06-17T09:52:10.304-07:00Film these guys talking for 90 minutes and you mig...Film these guys talking for 90 minutes and you might have an art house hit on your hands.Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-73487934921347325802013-06-17T09:45:55.837-07:002013-06-17T09:45:55.837-07:00SDH,
