The Dark Side


What we sometimes forget is the main ingredient that brought us all the excitement we experienced today in the 8:30 spin class and that is the person that was the proximating cause of it all. It was the woman who took Jessica’s bike away. Now if it were Kristen’s class this would never have happened because the only thing we would have seen is the backside of “Big Brazil” exiting the studio. 

Funny it takes the “dark side” to rally us and bring us together. It happens all the time we need to have a sense of purpose to galvanize our focus otherwise the everyday life takes us away on a jaunt that has no real excitement. But it’s more than that; it takes people that are living the unlived life.  What is the unlived life? The life of not settling for average, not settling for second best not wishing anything for someone else that we don’t want for ourselves. 

Today we wanted to love Jessica and shower her with our affection and the setting of Tripp Doherty’s class is the perfect setting because it couldn’t happen anywhere else. We can be joyous in other places but no one can take an exercise class and make it a human experience like Svengali can.

  1. Good thing I sweat so much in Tripp's spin class. It hides the tears that often well up in my eyes during his classes. :)

  2. I love this comment because when Tripp exudes his special brand of caring it is never an act it is always from his heart. Too many things have happened in the Studio for it to be anything else but genuine.
