TAO of MIKE

Hello Lawrence its been awhile since we spoke.Seems you have been sleeping late as of late, warm days and cool nights will do that to a soul. Distance, life and circumstances sometime interfere with communication and feelings. But that doesn't mean we are not on the same wave length. My stop is brief this time as i have other places to be today, I just wanted to leave with this before things become hectic and chaotic. Its comforting to know that your still here with a waiting ear.
The days roll  the bills keep coming in and the haters are gonna hate....within all that is life, its a good time to check the meters, kick the dog and grab the sun dial...
So when your on your way to your destination.. you never stop believing..


take care Mike

Sleepin On Speed n TAO

So in good fashion The Haters demand the Jelly and T can make like Judas Priest and delver the goods. The "scene" has scene many great events stumble through our state over the years..with out going long..and babbling how it was back in the day..ill spare you. And we entirely as scene are no stranger to see talent emerge from our fields as well..although not all go on to be Johnny T's , Frankie's and Bookwalters..many give it a shot and pay there dues to a sport that is dam hard and often unforgiving. Some make it.. some end up bar-tending which isn't all that bad..some do both.
So we sit on the eve of a National championship event in our backyard..might be a few turns if it ever makes its way here again..its perfecting timing for a few of the newly turned "pro" guys from Miscene to make there debut.....TMS was initially conceived to show case Michigan events and Michigan riders, there are plenty of "other" sites that state there opinions, views and what not... about the "Tour, cross worlds and Dope riddin Fondo's.." We don't shun those that go..but its not our thing..We get our  pleasure watching the riders like the above,  form from the likes of so many guys that make up our blue collar scene. Without, Waterford worlds, Grattan, AAVC spring fling, Birmingham rides, Hot Laps at the Local loops, Pando, Hanson Hills Marathon, Kisscross,  Double cross  etc..there wouldn't be green pro's and  National Championships or any other bigger events that have blown through over there years..although at times its a little rough around the edges..its your scene enjoy it for what it is...cuz in the scope of it all....... it could be worse

peace

drink some of that 5 hour energy shit, you pussy

Another Shit Post

Since Tms has been known to lie, cheat, steal, and now the official home of the faceless cyber bullies ..we thought why should today be any different? So in a time when fools are making like David Lee Roth and coming in crazy from the heat, I thought it would a good time to through out another waste of time shit post..
The "other" site which is ...much cooler, way more respectable..is far more legit.. but has yet to gain the solid following..(http://kolotc.com/) came up with a post that we here at Tms thought it would make a good one to piggy back off of..and maybe go a tad further
So here go's haters..we all know theres different degrees of HARD..but without going into that whole pile of hatred banter, etc... (we can always use another shit post later)..iF you can take time out of busy,hard ass time crunching schedules, put your grammar hatred aside, for few lousy moments and   throw a couple votes out..Mind you polls may be swayed a tad due to non existent events ..but make do with it..if we left any off you can hate em up.
 other polls will be added in the next few days.
stay cool fool

Sleepin On Speed P 1 1/2

Heres the deal people.

Going forward slightly, but always returning to the nature of the roots..I feel compelled to speak on the latest vent of angst...Hate on TMS all you want. We have never and will not  so called  "police post" for any reason. This is a anon blog. pure and simple, with the exception of harming children..for as long as it exists no changes will be made.. whether we agree to the comments are irrelevant.
Some ask why anon? well my friend.. its quite simple..you see at some point everyone has had an opinion, good, bad or just grey.. might of been about a race, a riding buddy,  his lady.. or that asshole at the car wash.. whatever, but because of the thought of being tagged a jerk or ridiculed, or beat down for speaking yours, you don't say a word..but chances are someone or even  the guy next to you feels the same..Oh OK.. some will say "ill say anything to anyone face"..that's bullshit and you know it..So that's where TMS stepped in, it gave the pallet for those to voice there opinions, mind you some are not always constructive, and at times pushed the limits of decency but many have brought change to our scene, and in all honesty and fairness are we really that sensitive to take all those to the point of losing precious sleep..? for Christ sake you got brothers burning in garbage cans in your back yard....The world isn't perfect and don't be so naive of this scene you created, its not as flowery as you imagine it to be..
 You want pure and clean and grammatically correct? ... step up, cat up or fake up.... cuz you don't need no stinking homie hook up to start your own blog and do shit your way ..its easy.. a blogger account is free but if your too lazy to do the work there's always the alternative to manipulate..

Momma always said  Lawrence "if we were all the same the world would be a pretty boring place sweetie"

get an alignment of the situation

Sleepin on Speed Part 1

After much thought and debate within Ts grey matter, I feel compelled to shed a Little on and bring some of you sceners back up to speed. This Month marks sixth year this thing ...self proclaimed nic named the scene has been functioning, its pretty insignificant in the world of us folks.. but it exists all the same. We (TMS) don't think its much more than what it is, don't lose sleep over, it aint out creepin around your house. or committing no major crimes. OK sure TMS has bent the rules a little, right clicked images, borrowed  words and topics.. but that being said..solidness is put into all things TMS ...we don't do things without a legit meaning, that goes for every post, image and what not..some get it some don't. by doing so it has served as the tongue for the faceless, nameless,  and truthfulness of real people.
The grammar has always been shit..probably cuz tms is always hustlin, and movin from one thing to the next..an excuse its not but its the truth all the same. Without a long drug out post we willl spare you all ..and break it down in a few pieces over the next few days or when time permits.

If we forget to tell you thanks for checking in from time to time..

1.two weekends in one week i can get used to this.
2.Wheres Danny?  he's been gone for so long, do you think he will ever come home?

The GnT Convo's

TMS.    thanks for taking time out this holiday week to stop by and fill this shit post with some ill-revilement thoughts.
 T.        aww come on its no problem im busy..but im never to busy to hang with G
G.      thanks T same here.Besides hanging with Dat Ass Dana and Trouble Todd can be trying at times
TMS.  so i without pulling punches whats the State of the State.
T.    well its like this, mind you this my perspective, lotsa racing, lotsa riding lotsa talkin but they aint all mixin. Seems theres no order to the chaos..any weekend you can do wha you do. The State has  seemed for a while  like its a separate entity of cycling world..I dunno maybe is like this elsewhere.
G.  Too much water in da soup.
TMS   whatta ya mean G?
G.   too much of a good thing the quality gets missed, I aint sayin the races are low quality, but the turnouts hurt. people got too many choices and can choose to be picky.
T.   a few years ago the schedule wasn't as thick..so folks had to get while the gettin was good..
G.    and not mention the scene was some what new Lance effect was full, its a natural cycle, and its a hard sport to keep it pinned year in and year out. It will come back around, not to the full extent at every race but there will be a few.
T.   like MP and the Cherry. those are the ones that will draw em out
G.   WMSR was a good and Milford state Crit will be solid., my only gripe about the Cherry Ruby, is why the hell add TT, and hard ass crit the day before the biggest road race of the scene The State Championship...lets face it the course aint easy and if you do the the two before... unless you have the good doctor in your pocket you aint feeling dead ass fresh?
TMS.  but sceners always want more..
G.  yea.....thats there downfall..               just sayin...
TMS.  so is it boredom or burnout
T..  Little bit a both for some.
G. unless your Ray D, or DC, etc... or those without full life commitment of responsibly outside of pedaling a bike...there will always be some that make the sacrifice of missing TV shows about killing gators to meet the goal and degree of hardness  ...
TMS.  Good point..explain more T
T.  well its like this you may not be doing the big euro hours but face the facts a solid contingent started pinning numbers on back in late March, probably did some intervals in late February..fools get tired not just physical but in your brain and that aint factoring, work, family and general life stress....that's the burnout side...on the boredom side.. well i think we can all attest to the facts the scene can kinda can eat itself up without knowing it..before you realize you have multiple years of he same ol same ol, and for some its too much to handle to keep fresh..
G.  a kid cant be eatin Spree's 24/7
T.  thats why you see alotta cross overs from MTB events to RR and back again...I call it the DC factor
TMS. so would you less is more... in general?
T . cant hurt..but suck'as think just because there's a race you gotta do it
G.  maybe its cuz they cant do the work
T.  maybe....but if your doing the work..and can be selective maybe that can be success to longevity..
TMS. interesting..
T.  boredom its natural..change is too..its adapting that can be hard for some..
TMS... Hardness, some say you either got it or dont..
T  its what you make it of it.
G.  who's to tell whats hard and whats not.
T.  for the tri geek that rolled up to the local Tuesday night with his full carbon fiber pimped out Felt only to get dropped and left to suffocate by the aging masters dudes riding ragged out dated 9 speed rigs..that shit was hard..
G.  But that aint hard.... you want hard go to Iowa
T.   yea thats a different type hard..
TMS,  so its no mystery hardness comes on all levels.
T   no not at all..
G   i dont think folks around our scene are trying kid themselves that there hard. Its your scene your world your life... if your happy or content with it..who gives a rats ass. what some fuck says..
TMS. which might explain the lack of numbers from our area that lets say that dont travel as close as 4hrs to Big time races, or farther to National events.
T. I think they know its hard, if you aint riding off the front at Waterford, Grattan or any other weekend scene race, the return on the cost to travel, time away from work, family, etc..isnt justifiable..
G. its your world its what you make of it..just keep tabs that it doesnt eat you...
T  hardness comes in the face of the guy who doesnt pin it on any longer but will do drop you on some hill in the middle of nowhere, the Gunslinger on the plains of truth... it comes in the face of the Wednesday night worlds kller, in the face of the Tanguy, DG, The Lion of Leroy, KIDA, A-Game..Shaggy and his crew, the EvilDude. The Bunny the Black ACE, the Chinese posse at the Island Lake. Das German..DC..Dybo.. PROBB..Chunky Clunker RODD the BOD SIMONSTER, TIMMY F.etc....im missin but aint dissin ..all carry a degree of hardness..until the all mighty can step forward with the stick to measure it...haters are gonna hate with riddles that make you go hmmmm..
G. wow..i coudnt of said it better myself..
TMS. free speech is the beauty of our country, and our scene..
G. I guess since i came in late to the TMS world why anon...?
T. dont ask me...
TMS. good question Gary... July marks the 6th anniversary of the TMS..maybe it would be good to spread alittle knowledge and bring people back up to speed on the scene in whole..why this shit blog is still here..
T. sounds good
G ill be waiting...

Thanks GnT

Sith number One

Without evil there is no good..
He is secretly respected, and  hated anonymously . He has been a figure lurking throughout the "scene" for more years than rightfully know.From dirt and dust strewn Hot laps, to week after week eye crossing lactic acid pulls at Waterford, his tactics and  wattage are questionable,There is no doubt he is skilled with the many weapons of wheels, over the years he has hardened himself in a unorthodox way..but then again who are we to question the way hardening.

 "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering"

without a formal introduction TMS is proud of Sith number one.

Driftin

Were all guilty of  it..you, me, your riding buddies, the creeper..the asshole at the car wash..etc. But for just a brief second in your day may i recommend  to loosen up the sphincter and cease it for a moment. But if you cant do it simply by diggin into your soul and  you need some help, stop by the local Dollar General or Ben Franklin and pick either one of the above up. T and The Imperial toy company have once again teamed up..The stylish 3 pack of terry cloth bands will help you clear the induced sweat away from your pretty face, although the shades will hide those striking eyes, but take comfort in the in fact they will also offer coverage for the unsightly crows feat you got from all the years of anger induced squinting.

You owe it to yourself...

Pretty much sums up last weekends gigs in and around on the roads near home, although attendance was on the low side for all showings, the quality was there. Maybe it was the other extended matinee that Featured Miscenes favorite Monster and a Tanguy that lessened the attendance.No matter ..you got your choice of shows every weekend just find what fits, and bite the pillow.

small stuff

I almost had to for go this hit on the small things, cuz i kinda wanted to talk about opinions... mainly the opinions of TMS..but i controlled my hate and opted to save it for a rainy day..but rest assured ill speak my theory's of opinions..
Small things? yea I know T's Drift aint that easy to get..if it was,  life would be whole lot easier and easy things aint often appreciated..at least thats my opinion..
Appreciation something else most folks don't get..Take for instance last weekends lil gigs up north there were two of them both real close together one ill speak a small amount, one i might later. The West Branch two day, a few years ago this woulda drew sceners out in mass quantity's, a "real" road race no i aint saying its US Pro quality.. but its hard enough to sweat the thick dogs..make some race down some pack it in..and others to down right stay home be normal.. i dunno maybe hilly doesn't make a race..maybe its not in your "plan"..its just a dam shame alotta of us all have such small attention spans..In year or two in my opinion it will be gone..

I aint mad at cha..just concerned.

TMS jedi for May 2012

wattage at threshold: unknown
wattage at max: unknown
resting heart rate: unknown
weight in KG: unknown
height: unknown
major wins: not many
last queen shagged: unknown

Known facts Of Kroske:
this guy isnt puttin out 400 watts at threshold, bumpin out 15 hundy out of the last corner, isnt pimpin the latest high tech carbon gadgetry, been injured more times than we know he probably wont win a single race all year.  But that dont matter and in the criteria for a TMS jedi spot its not always required. What he does posses is a style, a sense of humor, and a devotion to bringing more than just results to the Waterford table. small skills that go unoticed, but not in the eyes and mind of TMS.

 In honor of the first TMS Jedi. we welcome you Scott Kroske.
  thanks for keeping the force alive
