Greg_W Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Have you ever been so in the zone on a lead that the gear is almost superfluous? I had this experience yesterday, and apparently I hum quite a bit. Hm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuMR Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I find screaming my head off does wonders for my concentration!

Greg_W Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 I realized yesterday that regardless of what is going on, I can still dial into the zone. Then, nothing else matters. I ran the gammut from James Brown to Johnny Cash to Confederate Army marching songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakioawa Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Hate Phish? I've got tickets for the shows in the gorge in 2 weeks. The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.

Greg_W Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 I haven't but I think I need to start. Got a title I could snag at Barnes and Noble? Can I substitute whiskey? Yeah, that dude really gets me out there with his lyrics. I used to drive the freeway in Indiana at night listening to his music. I always wondered what it would feel like to drive into the ditch. Just for the experience, you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont do anything sissy like sing or anything, but it seems as though I can see and feel the rock's (or ice, or mountain's) weakness and flow over it like a water. Every sport, or athelete who loves their sport for this very reason. I golf with a few guys who are fanatical about the game and they site the same feelings.

iain Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 perhaps you are referring to "w00ks". A good place to view trustafarian w00ks in their native habitat is at phish shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
