Sunday Funday

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this blog post finds you (despite the efforts of the AI Algo to keep it from you) and brings you joy, insight, or action steps toward the demise of the diabolical forces in the universe (DFUs).

Today's a Sunday Funday. These happen every once in a while when the usual happiness and joy of doing basically NOTHING on the weekend is supplanted by the even greater happiness and joy of doing something FUN!

You may be wondering, what is this FUN that Joe speaks of? I'll tell you. In this particular instance the FUN is meeting some people from the Powered by Plants vegan cycling team for a short-to-medium-ish bike ride, followed by a vegan pizza lunch at the home of some members of said cycling team, where Deborah will meet up with us, due to her not participating in the bike riding portion of the FUN.

The next thing you may be wondering is, why are you telling me this and why should I care? That's an easy one. This kind of FUN infuriates the DFUs, who are devoid of joy and incapable of experiencing fun, so caught up are they in more diabolical pursuits. So this level of FUN promotes their demise in a much more active way than does just the usual casual kind of chilling on the weekends.

Light vs Dark

Hi Readers!

As I was tooling away on the Peloton trainer this morning (great 60 minute workout, by the way!), I had some thoughts about positivity vs negativity. I attributed positivity to LIGHT and negativity to DARK, as I think most people logically would. Then I spent some time thinking about what concepts fall under each of these somewhat binary categories. Here is what I came up with...

LIGHT: Love, kindness, compassion, tolerance, empathy, altruism, equity, justice, democracy, freedom, sharing, honesty, cooperation, teamwork, uplifting, peace, calm, contentment, positivity.

DARK: Fear, hate, grievance, vitriol, misery, intolerance, sexism, racism, autocracy, kleptocracy, oppression, greed, harm, toxicity, shame, blame, chaos, dishonesty, agitation, aggression, negativity.

It occurred to me that a lot of people seem to dwell in the DARK these days, especially if they spend a lot of their time on social media, and it sounds exhausting and miserable. It seems like the LIGHT is a much more fun and enjoyable place to be. It's certainly the place I find most hospitable to my mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.*

Thoughts? Leave a comment below.

*NOTE: If you are a lover of the LIGHT too and are exhausted and disgusted by all the divisive and toxic fear, hate, grievance, and vitriol purveyed by social and mainstream media (SMSM), you are not alone and you may find the safe place you are looking for in the Church of Bike With Joe.

Time to Ride

Hi Readers!

I am giving it my best effort to post a new post here every day. The Algorithm LOVES new content, am I right?

That being said, I am planning a big, fun, awesome post for this coming Sunday 11/24/24, and because I am putting all my effort into that post, I don't have a great deal of good content for today's post. I'll share with you what I got thought...

Per usual, I will be seeing marriage and family therapy clients today. I'm also going to jump on the Peloton trainer here shortly for an INTENTIONAL 60 minute workout, dedicated to world peace and harmony.

I had a couple cute song lyrics pop into my head earlier: "I built a little spaceship in my backyard. If found the specs online and it wasn't too hard. Making things airtight was the trickiest part. Don't want to decompress and explode my heart."

Alright. With that weak sauce, I had best sign off.
