Rekindling my Connections

I've been putting off running for awhile, but all the excuses have to be put to a stop.  It is no longer unbearable cold, so my mind has forced me to start up again.  The past three days it has been raining, which is cool, but somewhat dangerous.  It's nice to have that post rain smell in your nostrils while you are running, however, its tricky to run down those slick hills.  

Today, I caught the scent of some interesting aromas.  I was kinda by coach Fortney's house when I glanced across the street.  I saw a man smoking outside while watching his dog in the lawn.  I didn't think too much of it until I breathed in through my nose.  He wasn't smoking a cigarette at all, that was some pure Mary Jane.  I'm pretty sure I giggled out loud, but it's not all that funny.  Maybe just the fact that it was a middle-aged man at nine o'clock in an Imperial subdivision that threw me off.  That wasn't the only strange thing about my run today.  

As I walked out my door to start my jog, I saw three kids in the middle of the street.  They looked kinda sketchy so I started out going the opposite way.  I ended up running into them three more times over the course of my trip.  I don't really look up too much when I'm in the zone, so it came as a pretty big shock when 10 feet in front of me three kids were sitting in the middle of the sidewalk.   I also saw a cat, who didn't move when I passed it, some frogs, a dead snake, more cats, velma and steve, some more kids on the sewar, I think that's about it.  

My ipod was particularly kind to me today.  I'm pretty sure my ipod has a mind of it's own, I should really give him a name.  I'll work on that, it has to be just right.  Oh, but I listened to Motley Crue to start with, then that went into Shiny Toy Guns, Landon Pigg, the Killers, We Are Scientists, Hillary Duff, umm Goo Goo Dolls, some other random awesome stuff, Tristan, then Jason came on as I was coming up to my house.  That always seems to happen.  And note to self, listen to the entire albums of Sawdust and Day and Age.  There are a few songs I heard today that I haven't listened to in their entirety, but they are bouncing.

I had to do a little sweet talking today.  On Saturday, I'm heading to Champaign Illinois to see Jason, and then Sunday I'm going to Madison as well.  However, my mother may not have been fully aware of the second show.  I may have told a little white lie in order for me to attend, but I am proud to report that there should be no suspicion of my whereabouts.  Alyssa is letting me borrow her camera, so I should be able to get some pretty decent pictures.  I hope I don't get too lost anywhere!  

Jimmy Fallon was wonderful last night on Jay Leno.  I suppose that's why he had to take an entire week off of his own show.  I believe that he is trying to act a little too much like Mr. Johnny Carson...speaking of Johnny, I still want a tattoo for my idol.  ooo I'll name my iPod Carson!  or maybe storm, haha.  no Carson will do for now, the tattoo can wait.  Tina Fey on Jimmy Fallon is going to repeat tonight, so that'll be on in like five minutes, so I better hurry up because I need refill on my drink.

Ahhh!!  I still have to type up my senior will.  Oh, and it's senior skip day tomorrow, but I have someone important to see, and I can't skip anymore, they'll fail me, so no senior skippage for me.  Oh, and Shaun and I made prom court, so that was kinda exciting!

Ellen Schmittgens, Lindsey McCulley, Cassie McKean, Timmy Waltenberger, Andy Snyder, and Nate Barton also made the court with us, so we're in good company!

I actually kind of enjoyed doing that research stuff in Leech's class today.  It was interesting I think.  I want to write about utopias and allegorical satire, so I gotta remember that.

Barack Obama was at Fox High School yesterday, I wasn't chosen to go, but it's all good.  PJ left school to wait outside to see him.  He got me a cool pin though from the little get together, so thanks peaches!

Sidenote:  I really like Mike Bush and Brian Williams.  I hope they stay on the air forever!

it's just a really awesome version of Wordplay that I don't want to lose.

Peace,
