I feel like I've been beaten to within an inch of life by my own mind.

Like whatever it is that separates us from the apes. That thing that makes us qua human. That's the thing that so brutalized the ape me that I find myself cowering in the proverbial corner, afraid that if I do anything at all I will once again release the unrelenting wrath of consciousness itself.

But I did, in fact, complete the 100 miles of biking. 20 - 30 degree hills are the fucking norm in rural Iowa.

Monkey OleSalty out.
