I am a lil blue jay...
June gloom....lessness?
I couldn't count on one hand, even if I only had one finger, how many times this summer thus far I have woken up, peeked out my window, and thought, "Man, what a beautiful summer morning it is today!" Well, there's a first time for everything, because today was that type of day. I woke up @ 6:45AM because I decided to play a little basketball with some coworkers this morning before work. Man oh man was it warm already, the temperature was 65 on my way to work, and that was only 7:10AM! My goodness...these are the days that make you really want to take the day off and just spend it reading a book or playing in the waves at the beach. And it sucks cuz work is so close to the beach too....nonetheless, the weather has finally taken a turn for the better and summer is actually here. And while I was in the locker room at Bally's(of which I shall expand upon in a sec), I overheard this conversation:
Big dude #1 "Man, it's a beautiful day outside, the sun finally decided to show up early."
Big dude #2 "Hell yeah, and you know what this weather brings with it?"
Big dude #1 "Yeah man, tube tops and skirts, sundresses and bikinis...I love it."
Everyone, me included: "Ha ha ha ha......yeah"
I don't personally LOVE summer weather(I would rather be bundled up in 20 degree weather with a hot cup of coffee in my hand), except for the fact that I can spend a lot of time at the beach and get dark dark dark, and try to learn how to swim, but it's a good time. AND, girls show more skin...and more skin....NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE....
Unfamiliarity
Last night after I got back from Target and coffee, I decided that I was gonna play ball with the coworkers in the morning, so I packed up my work clothes. I thought about the last few times I played ball in the morning, there is only a single shower at work, so we all have to wait. And then my genius mind thought, Hey, why don't I just look up to see if there's a Bally's closeby? I looked it up, and sure enough, 3.1 miles away was a Bally's. I wrote down the directions, read a lil bit(FINALLY got my copy of "Harry Potter, Order of the Pheonix"), and headed off to LA LA land. So after playing ball this morning, I headed out to freshen up. Note to self, when writing down the directions, write down the approx. distances you have to travel on each road. Because one thing that sucks about this area, is that there are no BIG street signs, like the ones that hang from the streetlights. Rather, they have those tiny dinky ones on the corner and you don't know what street it is til you pass it already. So I passed this one street and it didn't have ANY name at all, so I kept driving...like 10 minutes later, I decided to turn around...of course, of all the damned luck in the world, the street I was supposed to take was that first one I passed way back earlier...if I was telling this story to my friends, I would be erupting with two very foul words, he he he. So I finally found it...stupid me, I should've realized that it was taking way longer than it should to go only 3.1 miles...but it was too early to think logically....good excuse, huh.... Well I just gotta say it again, it's an awesome day...
Appreciations
-Deep conversations with friends
-JK Rowling
-Being "collective" (I was trying to think of that word forever)
-Gettin your blood pumping early
-65 degree weather before 8AM
