A New Place to Live

To those who visit or subscriber to this Blog, my apologies. I have been busy with many things, but one of things has not been blogging. However, you can find me over on my Posterous account. It's like blogging, only a little bit easier, which what I look for sometimes - just a little bit easier.

Check it out at http://anthonysheehan.posterous.com/. Feel free to love me or hate me just as much, just in a new location. I am better at posting regularly there. It is a delightful place.

Thanks for all the comments, Anonymous!

I just wanted to give a quick word of thanks to all the spam comments that I have been receiving on the recent (a relative term, I know) posts on my nearly defunct blog.

So a big thanks to Anonymous. I, too, agree that my blog has "a lot more creativity and originality." And although I am not "looking for the purpose ed drugs?", and although I am not even sure what that means, I do appreciate the time it took to pose the question.

I promise that next time I have occasion to look for "Minissha Lamba Pictures" or a video of "Obama playing on XBox," I will think of you.

And thanks to all the other readers/commenters out there as well. Here's to another consistent year of inconsistent blogging! Really, I'll do better this time. Promise.

For those interested in more-frequent, less-substantive posts I have started a "lifestream" over on Posterous that you are all invited to bookmark. Yes, all of you - especially Anonymous.

But I promise that this blog isn't dead. It was just hibernating.

Best Movie Ever (perhaps)

I saw Race Across the Sky last night, a documentary about the mountain bike race by the same name. It was fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone who can travel back in time to yesterday to watch it. (It was only in theaters one night only.)

There are very few times that I cry - when I listen to organ music, when I hear stories of dogs dying, when people make fun of my mustache, etc. However, I may have cried while watching this movie that documents not a 100-mile mountain bike race with more than 12,000 feet of total climb, but a triumph of the human spirit. How can you not cry as you watch a 65-year-old man with two new prosthetic knees be stopped at the first checkpoint because he did not make the 4-hour cutoff?

In cycling there can be a lot of douchery - what with the leg-shaving and $18,000 carbon fiber superbikes - but you can't have anything but love and admiration for the participants as they struggle through the Race Across the Sky.

Uh, apparently I don't know how to imbed YouTube videos. ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpf1LHfLz0o

Growing pains

I am growing a mustache.

I am doing so for several reasons. (1.) I want to be Magnum PI for Halloween. It will be a trial run to see if I want to be Magnum PI for the rest of my life. As if there is any question in my mind. (2.) I feel that mustaches run in my family, and who am I to sever these familial ties? (3.) If mustaches don't make a comeback now, I am afraid they never will. Like the fedora. I feel that I need to do my part. (4.) I have wanted to for years.

The goal:

Wish me luck.
