I break my long silence now to say the only thing of merit I believe I can. You gave me something years ago that no other person had, and by doing this they will all be judged based on the standard you set. So far no one has even come close, and by being the only person able to do this I feel that is at least some sort of achievement. You did something no one else had, and no one else can apparently do.

I've felt like this so many times lately, completely without rhyme or reason, and it worries me on so many levels..

Just out of curiosity, Grey. Im happy that Im apart of your work, but any significance in selecting me for this?

You were a fairly recent example that came to my head when I thought of the comic idea. I hated it when you talked about your bicycling career, I hated that you were winning. I hated the attention you were getting, and I dearly wished that you would lose. Not only lose, but lose badly, maybe by breaking your legs or something in an accident. That continued not to happen, and I resented that you got so much attention for doing something physical very well, but I hardly ever got any recognition for doing mental things very well. I hated it, and I hated you.

These comics are deliberately based on the portion of my thoughts that operate irrationally. Don't take it personally.

Before the season even started, I broke my collarbone, and not many cared. In school, I did the best in the family, and nothing. When 11 I was hit by an SUV and was hospitalised for a few months with lots of fractures and a bleed in the brain. I got bullied in school for having crutches through out my first year and Im still constantly tortured by a fucking asshole of a brother that gets lots of attention for doing shit things to others and himself and gets a ton of money thrown at him to pull him out of situations.

So getting attention for doing well now from people, whether family, friends, including online ones and from strangers, I quite enjoy it and like having people support me now.

Speak up about your achievements if you want attention, make sure everyone hears it. Nothing I can do to stop you from hating me. Ill stop posting the info when you are about at least. I dont take it personally, even when you wish for me to get hurt.

Anyway, good luck in everything you do.

Also, wishing for me to have my legs broken. Little bit far as that is a career ender right there. That's like me wishing you got brain damaged. Not taking it personally, but just don't wish them sorts of things on people, whether they are irrational thoughts or not.

Methinks you're taking it a bit more personally than you claim.

I don't take it personally. I'm thinking of everyone involved. It does happen, not just for sport, but for everyone.

Going to be fun meeting you at AC 2013 if I get to go :)

its nice to see people cant just be happy that some people work the ass off, and achieve something, and they cant be happy to see people get somewhere and try and emulate that in some way.
