Things have changed...
I remember being really saddened and disheartened with my childhood. I vividly recall the hour or so that I would get to watch TV a couple times a week. I raised myself with the notion that we all died in a gunfight in some dank alley. I wish it was that glamorous. I wish each of our lives ended in such a memorable flash.
I've been wondering what I am going to do with my life, as every good boy does. I truly fel I am blessed with enough potential to do a lot with my life. And I know I am almost stalling here. I love my home. I mean, I love the area I live in. The home itself is the perpetual-70's second floor of a duplex, in what might once again be a great part of the city. It's not crime-riddled or anything. It just seems exactly as stalled as some of its occupants.
My neighbor across the street is a stunning beauty. Recently singled from her Army SpecialOps husband. She retined custody of their 2 little girls. Where has he gone? I have no idea. The Army's efforts may have claimed his life, or maybe he reclaimed it and moved on. Or maybe he was discarded by his lovely ex-wife. Regardless, this shows the kind of things one can pick up just by living. And if I can find out all this just by living across the street from someone, imagine what I know from living with myself for so long.
There has to be enough in my head and past for me to write something that someone other than myself would be interested in reading.
In other news, I have begun exercising again. About 3 months ago I began doing some serious running. Being out here, it's insane to not be outside more than I have been. And I am n o young boy naymore. My body needs me to work at it for it to retain its health. That's something worth noting. I am concerned about my health. I want to be here a long time.
How could I not be active with something like this waiting for me? The view from the top of the Incline...an officially off limits trail that used to be the railway heading up Mount Manitou. A nice little hike that climbs over 2,000 feet in just over a mile. Especially tantalizing when you consider the starting point is already 6,574 feet above sea level. And all this brought to you at the bargain price of 5,000 steps. Bring your stamina and a large dose of water. Except for the fact that it's illegal to be there, it's well worth the trip.
OK, I am off to feed the cats I am watching for a friend. Nite, kids.
