More than just a read thru

Kick start the golden generator
Sweet talk but don’t intimidate her
Can’t stop the gods from engineering
Feel no need for any interfering
Your image in the dictionary
This life is more than ordinary
Can I get 2 maybe even 3 of these
Come from space to teach you of the Pleiades
Can’t stop the spirits when they need you
This life is more than just a read thru

The Red Hot Chili Peppers, from their song “Can’t Stop”

This was playing at the rink yesterday, I am just about 10% sick right now, and was suffering badly during easy laps (but I finished the workout, dammit!). “Kick start the golden generator” and “This life is more than just a read through”, these lyrics kept me going. It’s amazing how music affects the soul in vulnerable moments.

& Thanks to all who commented on the last post. It’s November, wow…. Olympic trials begins 56 days from today!

  1. The Generator is what is saving us, A week without power would have been quite a bore. Even nowit is making this possible. The fumes nearly got us last night before i could get the window shut. My phone dont work at the moment so I hope you get this. Hope that others have made out as well. Love to the LOVES GP

  2. For readers info…

    my 90 year old grandpa had hurricane Wilma pass directly over where he lives in pompano beach, fla, cosmically screwed up the whole town….., I spoke to him on the phone yesterday… he has no power, but he has a generator & stockpiled food… His email doesnt seem to be working, so comments here is one way to keep in touch!!!

  3. ‘Can I get 2 maybe even 3 of these
    Come from space to teach you of the Pleiades’ has brought me to a dilemma I’ve pondered. Okay, you say, “What is Tim referring to?” I drive an ‘04 Subaru Impreza WRX Sti WRC Blue Pearl. I miss having my car when I’m in Kearns training at the Oval. I’ve had the privelege of borrowing Eva’s bicycle when I’m renting one of her rooms. I’ve thought about offering a fella who’s trying to sell a ‘02 WRX, to rent it or take over his loan. It would definitely be less expensive than paying $380 per two weeks for a car rental when in SLC. I don’t yet have a job in SLC, but without a car, it seems pointless.

    What I’m getting at is, can I get 2 maybe even 3 of these wonderful AWD WRX’s so I can teach you of the Pleiades?

  4. Pleiades is the constellation on the Subaru emblem.

  5. wow!!! I never knew that! the pleiades is the subaru emblem!! cool!! thanks tim…

  6. A-Man does gret design work…and is much better than hiring a plumber..ha…ha. About the music and its relation to the soul. Music can start you up or cool you down. It can make you laugh, cry, get angry, sleep and many other things. Music is a gift and something that can strongly influence our actions in life.
    Here are my top 5 suggestions for pre-race music…
    5- Can’t Drive 55, The Red Rocker…HAGAR
    4- Atom Bomb by: Fluke
    3- Anything from Motley Crue, Greatest hits..
    2- Fly Like An Eagle, Seal
    1- Olympic Theme Song…TOO Obvious???
