Sorry about these weekends that go a little long, leaving you with the same image at the top of the page for days. I get busier later in the week, and then on weekends I’m usually trying to get quality time with the BF. So that means if I don’t plan ahead on Monday or Tuesday, I’m screwed.
What I was up to yesterday … One day of the week that I spend working on my own projects. I decided to wear a tight-fitting blue UA shirt, and tights to go with it. I put on a jacket for a little modesty. Basically I’m dressed for the gym but I’m just sitting around programming on my laptop. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that this is a public place with WiFi and all. Probably the most notable thing was that I didn’t get looks or stares. Perhaps it wasn’t so out of place after all.
Continuing with posts of pictures, videos, etc — ideally I’d like to source original material, as in actually going to events, models, and so on. This so you don’t get stuff already passed around the net (as what most blogs, including mine, do). Short of that, I do go through a lot of photos and videos and select only a few to post. There’s probably 10 things that don’t get posted for every one that does. This is how I might get some quality and provide some added value through this kind of editorial process.
What I started out doing with this blog is trying my best to find original photos and recognizing it as such, which is why I’ll try (if I don’t forget) to link to where I found it. So while I’m already plagiarizing, at least there is an attempt to document it. I really appreciate comments on posts that tell me the real source, like the swimskin model who is actually this European athlete.
I continue to enjoy getting all the visitors to this blog, and maybe I’ll get around to fulfilling the various promises I’ve made.
Cycling Bias
I’d guess that if you do a count of all the posts this blog leans toward cyclists. Maybe this reflects my personal participation in that activity, although I don’t consider myself “serious” about it. I never call it training, I’m not a group rider, and, believe it or not, I don’t really give a damn about Lance Armstrong. Yet cycling is an everyday part of my life. Almost every day I ride my decent road bike with 9-speed 105 components, and as you would guess, I have a hearty inventory of cycling apparel, almost all of which I really use on the bike. I’m also blessed with a body that looks like I bike — skinny with strong legs.
When I’m not horny about cyclists, I do have a deep interest in the cycling industry, especially road bikes. In the past decade they have evolved into elegant machines where their artistic merits are as significant as their engineering accomplishments. The same is true with apparel. That’s not just a bike short. It’s a product of obsessive technology and design, from the microfiber materials we now take for granted to the selling of sexual appeal.
So I may have a tendency to over-represent cycling. It’s worth noting that the first sport I associated with skin-tight spandex was cycling, although I did notice the spandex under some soccer shorts. The merits, the case for strength and elegance can found in many sports. Dance and wrestling come to mind. Maybe some of you readers have a special attachment to one sport or another like I do for cycling. Feel free to let me know more about a sport you really like.
