What do these 2 organizations have in common? Lots of things if you think about it. First off they both have figureheads that met a violent death. While most of you know what happened to Jesus, you may not know that Timmy was driving his exotic sports car down the QEW at 160 kms/hr when he hit a concrete wall. Shit!
Another feature they share is their dependence on effective marketing. While Tim's has roll up the rim and timbits, the catholics have the promises of the confessional and the body of christ!! Whoa....that's weird!
And I'm sure I can think of a lot more but to cut to the chase I'll tell you the biggest single aspect that they share and that's this. When you're inside either of them they somehow seem to make some kind of sense. It's only once you break their cycle of brainwashing and get the hell out can you see how bizarre the whole deal really is.
Of course you're wondering what triggered this lunatic thought. Well I was at the mall in London and had to cut through the line at Timmy's to be able to make it down the hallway. I counted them, and there were 29 people in the freakin line waiting patiently to get their cup of tasteless swamp water. I was reminded of the thousands of people standing in St Peters square waiting for Pope Frank to be announced as the next guy in charge of protecting our children............
Or maybe I'm just pissed that I didn't get the call eh?
Actually I don't think so. I'm beyond caring about donuts and communion wafers. Ask me rather, why I was at the mall in the first place. I was there to get myself a reward for my bike test results today. I gotta tell you I was so scared going into it but one more time I was surprised. Here's all my test scores.
Initial 172
Week 5 181
Week 10 210
Week 15 232
That's a 35 peercent increase in power over 15 weeks!!! I can tell you that I'm on a bit of a high. Oh, by the way. I got myself a nice new long sleeve shirt for the race next weekend. Life is good!
Long run day tomorrow. I think it will be easier without the usual saturday long ride.
Love

That is friggin awesome and quite amazing bro! How much of a commitment in time was involved from start to finish? Just on the trainer I mean.
