Chris' Mind Dump...

I was asked about to write a review of the worst movie I have ever seen, and it turned into a stream of consciousness mind dump. Also, what is good and what is bad, when it comes to things like books, movies, music, is subjective. To an extent. There are some movies, songs, books, that a majority of people agree are bad. It is hard for me to say what is the "worst" movie I have seen. I have seen plenty of bad movies and they all kind of get bundled together. We all know, as long as movies are being made, there will be bad ones, and there will be "worst" (Worser? Not a word, but who cares) ones.
So, if I offend someone, too bad, it is just my opinion. With that being said, the first movie that came to mind is Scary Movie. Why? When it came out on video I rented it and got tired of watching it before it was over. I just thought it was dumb and not funny enough to wade through, so I quit....

Last week totally cool, insanely articulate triathlete and recent featuree in a "Going Off Course" post, Steve Paladie, sent us the list of winners if the Washington Post's "Neologisms Contest." Steve claims to actually know what a neologism is. He steadfastly maintains that he didn't have to Google the term.
We didn't have to Google it either. But we did anyway.

Going Off Course - The great 20th century philosopher Jon Bon Jovi imparted these prophetic words on the subject of "Luck:" "The harder I work, the luckier I get."
Some may look at Lindsay Kurhajetz's life and conclude that luck played a role in her many successes. Only 30, she's well-traveled, a former finalist on The Amazing Race, a former Miss Maple Grove, the founder and co-director of the "instant classic" Maple Grove Dare to Tri, one of only four women selected to model for the 2011 Triathlete Magazine Swimsuit issue and she knows Phil Liggett personally (photo below).
If you know Lindsey, though, you know that her successes and opportunities were the result of intelligence, boundless energy and above all, hard work. You won't meet a person who works harder, or multi-tasks better, than Ms. Kurhajetz (pronounced "Kurr-hy'-etts). And she does so joyfully. No kidding. She loves to work. Luck had little, if anything, to do with the favorable outcomes in her life...

My name is Andy Thieman (photo below). On Christmas Eve, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. My treatment started on 1/10/11.
In October, I'm riding with Lance and the other survivors in Austin, Texas. Until then, I'm riding every day in my basement
