Do it well

Today was Sunday, my day off. Now, naturally, on a day off you'd want to have it off, no? And after a full week, which mine certainly was, it was quite a wonderful one too.
To rest means spending most of my day on the computer, doing things that are, of course, entirly useless. Really, what is the point of having a day off if the things you do are useful? So reading, resting, praying, playing, and all that, is basically all my day is comprised off. No doing anything useful.
And the highlight of it all, billiards out in town. This evening, in true respect for useless activities, five of us (humans, that is) went out to the mall to play billiards. Amidst the discourse, we actually managed to get a game or two in, the first of which was tragically glorious. See, I did a perfectly good angle shot... only it was the 8 ball in the wrong hole.
The moral of this story is: if you must loose, do it well.

The Imaginative Brain

Such are the joys of living. You know, like is a lot like a dream. In what way, I'm not exactly sure, but trust me, it is.
I've recently had a dream that I was so sure was real, but I thought, "Hey. What if this is just a dream?" So, of course, I knocked myself on the head with my knuckles, and when I didn't feel it, I knew it was just a dream.
That, I think, is the only thing that seperates dreams from reality. The senses. Smell. Taste. Touch. Those are senses most often missing from the world in your mind, and the ways to define dreams from reality. Which brings us back to the age-old question, do blind people dream? Bah, never mind.
So anyway, when I realized it was a dream, I realized two things as well:
1. I was in the world of my own thoughts.
2. I can think anything.
Which leads to the conclusion that I can do anything in my dreams. So, of course, I set about altering the world around me. First, everything cement turned to dust. Next, a forest grew out of the ashes. Next, there were no people in existance other then me and a scad of women. Next... well, I woke up.
But dreaming is more exciting then reality. Especially when you realize you're dreaming.

To Rain

Rain. What a wonderful thing. Wonderful when taking a walk by the countryside, and just about anytime. Of course, there are a few little things that rain ruins like nothing else:
1. Camping. There were two times I've taken a hammok out to the forest to go camping. Each time, because of lack of rope, I've been forced to use ingenious methods to attach my bed to the trees. Each time, by hard work and divinely inspired contraptions including belts, boughs, and tree sap, I managed to get it up beautifully. Of course, when the rain comes, it seems less so. And crawling into the others' tent soaking wet at two in the morning somehow seemed to lessen their affection for me at the moment, though I'm still at loss why.
2. With children. Ever been out to the part on a perfectly deceptive sunny afternoon, and then, when you are 30 minutes walk away from the house, you see an ominous black belching cloud of darkness coming toward you. Naturally, the first thought is something like... "Oh fough. We're going to die." Second thought is, "Their parents are going to kill me," in which case this thought is immidiately followed by, "Oh, fough. I'm going to die."
3. When out in the city. Rain is not a bad thing, but when you are dressed in a dashing green coat and silver pants, hands full of posters sauntering past the people in the town thinking, "Look a'me!" And then. Water starts trickling from the sky. Now, you know that a drop of water with stick out on your green coat like a black permnant marker. Soon you have so many of these spots on your jacket that you grimace and point to the sky, thinking, "Look a'that!"
But there's really nothing we can do. So we might as well enjoy the rain, because... well, it's enjoyable. And whether or not you enjoy it...
The rain must fall.

Ahem

Ok, so... here we have my very first blog. Guess today's as good a day as any to start it.
Today we went out... all day... in the rain. And it rained and rained all day today, and it probably will rain again tomorrow... and the next day... all day long. I did have a pizza for lunch; however, it had only unflavored cheese as topping, making it more like cheese toast then pizza. So it was a wonderful treat. I think.
And I got a gym membership today, so I guess I'll start working out. Only problem is that it only allows me to attend from 8am-5pm. So... whenever I get the chance to attend it, I'm sure it will be great.
