i've been doing a lot of thinking lately about a guy i don't know very well. not about him in a romantic way, just about his situation and how he might have gotten there. in a way i see him in everyone. we could all be him. i think these thoughts are triggered by a song that i keep listening to on repeat. my compulsion to hear this song is connected to this guy – i want to listen to it in part because of him, and yet listening to the song triggers thoughts of him. i find myself thinking i'll solve his problem if only i keep listening, but i know its not that simple.
i had a date with carolyn to go have our nose rings changed. it was exciting. i'm glad she was with me, i was nervous for some reason, more nervous than when i first had it done. maybe because i got my nose pierced on a whim, and now i've had 6 weeks to build up the anticipation of going back. the lady working the desk was scary, and she overwhelmed both me and carolyn. anyway, carolyn went first and i held the mirror. she did really well, she got to take it out and put it in and take it out again. i didn't get to do that because my piercing is newer than hers. but all in all it went well, i like this one better because its smaller and sits inside my nose instead of always sticking out a little. i'm all nervous that it'll fall out in my sleep or something.
i went to the butlers for dinner after our trip to blackstar. it was really nice, i felt like i had a good and complete meal which is a novelty since i've only cooked about 5 times in 2006. its nice to feel full. i really appreciated the invitation.
afterwards i went for a nice long bike ride. my legs and butt felt worked – right on. i biked down to my bank to cash my $6.44 cheque, then wandered down to confed to read. it was beautiful (ah, there's that word again). i like that in the park, this guy had a rope tied between two trees and he was tightrope walking. who does that?? what kind of town has people tightrope walking in a park for fun?? that's awesome. i love this city. i know to some people its just k-hole, but its home to me.
i'm sorry if you end up hearing a lot about my bike rides. i guess i used to talk about the Y a lot too. but i love riding my bike and always feel so invigorated. i just sat there in the park thinking "i'm so happy. i'm so bless. this is good."
