once a Champion

it's ok, go ahead . . . I think the same thing

these photos of Achille Varzi are freaky as fuck

I spend a LOT of time trying to "figure out who I was" . . . do we reincarnate one after another, two at a time, THREE at a time ????? . . . I truly don't know and I can never be sure about who is/was who . . . but in this sea of karmic madness, there is one thing about which I DO feel pretty confident . . . I feel pretty certain that I am the (quite literal) reincarnation of this man

don't know why, don't know how, just plain don't know . . . but I still think it's true . . . the 1934 European Driving Champion (comparable to today's Formula 1 "World Champion"), at one time the highest paid athlete in any sport in the world, a man who, at the literal top of his game, threw away his career for a married woman and a whole lot of morphine

and who, somehow, 10 years later, after battling addiction and being kicked out of the sport he once ruled, unable to race, barred from competing, years in rehab . . . returned to the top of his profession, only to get killed on a slick track, practicing for the Swiss Grand Prix in 1948
