Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't need any more friends

What's UP with 'friend requests'? I keep getting them and approving them (I'm easy), but can somebody explain to me why anybody would want to be on anyone else's BF 'friend' list?

Don't get me wrong, I love BF, and that means I love all of you, but at the end of the day, I hate everybody.

It's complicated.

P.S. In the meantime if you want to be Uncle Pcad's Friend, it's not a problem, but it does get annoying after a while. If you really like me, flame me on BF. That's what virtual friends are for.

I would never send you a friend request. I'm waiting for you to send me one. You have to make the first move in this virtual friendship. Age before beauty.

Is BF reality? Are virtual friends real? It's getting hard to tell the difference.

I don't even know what a "friends list" is, much less why anyone would want to be on Pcad's. Isn't that like trying to bum up to Scut Farkus?

You're only saying that because you're not hanging with the cool kids.

See you at the breakfast club CastIron...

All I can think of is the movie The Jerk and "Navin P Johnson, you're dead". Somewhere out there you've got a new little friend whose gonna be pissed cause you won't do that virtual ride with him.

Good luck with that!

Not complicated. You weren't loved enough by your parents and you were a weird kid growing up and didn't have many friends. You hate yourself and hence your narcism.

You are only insisting upon a cycle (cycling) that has existed your entire life. Yes its hard to break the chronic cycle. Monkeys that weren't loved in early life grow up misadjusted and we have to suffer the consequences.

Perhaps, many of those requesting your friendship are advocates of the teachings of Sun Tzu, who advises: "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
