What is it about the energy of the universe that takes us on this ride of ups and downs, round and rounds, and all the other motions of a roller coaster? I understand the changing of the tides and the seasons too. But this cycle shows no pattern or is far too complex in physiological processes for me to understand. At times I find myself climbing better than ever for weeks, no, what the hell, months at a time here recently, and now I find myself bewildered and simply shutdown. The feeling is numbing, to spend so much time and energy freezing your ass off. For what? I just spent four hours in the woods trying to climb a 10 ft. section on a freackin rock! All in the name of chasing the send. Days like these are very deflating and leave me feeling quite unaccomplished. Am I totally WreCkEd? Burnt out? Am I trying too hard? Thinking too much? No, that's why I can climb at my current level. I like to climb well and perfect the moves paying close attention to every detail and sequence giving purpose to each attempt. Ok. What else? Well, I did do the Cleo-Cindy trav. pretty quickly the other day. Cool, but this is a boulder I am very familiar with and it was like 28 degrees outside. Maybe it's all this damn bouldering! It seems to me like I was in better form when I was climbing a nice ratio of routes and boulders week by week. Maybe I need a change of scenery. Last I heard, we have a crew going to Rocktown tomorrow. I already feel refreshed not having to go back to LRC to try my projects and with Christmas coming up very soon now I look forward to a trip home to visit my family for a Christams Vacation if you will.
On another note, I think I've been sick for the last three days or so and failed to admit it. Today I am accepting it as a fact. So, I'm staying inside cleaning and making a pot of chili. BOOM! It's sooo good too. Not much else has been going on. I have a new camera on the way that I am VERY excited for and will have lots of pictures and videos to show from it.
Stay tuned.
