Sometimes strength can be weakness

[fossyant]

He's trying to lose the weight though. Or is he?

Well he tells us he's a bit of a lardy lump, so how that fits with his image of an Adonis I'm not sure, or he hasn't been to Specsavers yet ?

This is what I've been pondering. Before now I see myself as unbreakable, without weakness, the perfect specimen. But I've come to realise, my strength is my only weakness.

The dedication I give to being the perfect alpha male means I've developed a lack of basic human emotion. My relationships with those around me have suffered whilst I strive for godlike status.

It's all well and good being up there with the best, but if you have nobody to share it with, what is the point?..
Poignant.

Errm, okay.

That reminded me of Colonel Kutz's monologue in Apocolypse, the one at the end where he goes "the horror, the horror! He was easily the best 200lb+ actor in the world.

Wiki says: "The director downplayed Brando's weight by dressing him in black, photographing only his face, and having another, taller actor double for him in an attempt to portray Kurtz as an almost mythical character."

My bubble is burst when I read that you have to "work hard and be determined". Surely to someone of your calibre it should all come naturally; no real effort required?

It's precisely because of his hard work and determination that it does come easy. It's like the Arnold Palmer quote: " The more I practice, the luckier I get ".

I, for one, would find it an honour and a privilege to line up along the fine specimen of alpha manhood that is @blazed, to marvel as he smashes me and all the other merely mortal riders into meek submission, to cheer as his 200+ lb ass becomes a mere dot on the horizon as he majestically sweeps up the steepest inclines, his legs a blur, sparks and smoke coming out of his bottom bracket as it struggles to cope with the wattage being generated by that big ring.

If only I could find an event he'd entered...?

Alas such a narrow minded view.

Blazed stands astride not only mere cycle races, but the event of Life itself.

Forgive me. I am truly humbled.

I, too, crave perfection, and like @blazed, I am prepared to become a Big Billy No Mates to make it happen. But, in my case, I know that could never be.

Relationships? Nah. The true champion, in life, sport and combat, stands alone, a God amongst mere men.

Maybe he's let himself go, even further than he's willing to admit. It's going on two years since he first posted that picture.

You could always read about his 400 mile commute.

Is Blazed single, I think I want to marry her.

You have a weakness? Loser.
