This is an introduction.
so last night i was running outside. it was probably 11 o clock or something. i ususally go running late at night because no ones out and its dark out. well i started running and i hear/feel this thing shaking in my head or maybe it was the plastic tip of my shoelace smacking the ground. either/or it was setting off my vertigo so i stopped running and walked a little while. woooh.
it wasnt the best running experience. i was pretty low on energy all day so it lasted maybe 20 minutes and i went back to my apartment.
but it made me think of this summer when i went biking everyday on an empty stomach because there was nothing to eat at our tent. by the time i got to the campground in the state park i was stealing showers from i was exhausted and exhilerated. high. everything was so blindingly bright. out of breath and nearly out of my mind i would hike over to a spot near a nice little stream and stare, mesmorized, at the berries growing. i was euphoric. lots of oxygen.
i dont know what it was though. i dont know if it was because i was trying to suck the most i possibly could out of my situation those couple of weeks or what but those were some of the happiest, simplest moments of my summer. while eating a kind of bad sour but kind of good because i picked it wild apple from a tree i got a really strong desire to refine my feelings or basically what i felt i had learned into something i could share with others. i was also reading the chronology of william faulkners life in the index of an anthology out of boredom by the pond and that inspired me. being without house/computer/music/telephone for a while can actually be a very good thing.
maybe i will call it "free shower"
idk
sorry i dont care about proper grammar sometimes. i swear i do know how to use it when i feel like it. ok bye
