Summer time...
So instead of taking a nap today I decided to dust off my old bmx bike and take it for a ride. Soemtimes nothing is more fun than tooling around town jumping curbs and manualing around on the sidewalks with your shirt off in the 80 degree weather. It is funny, however, because it has been about 2 years since I rode my bike and I have gained 30 lbs since then, so it made the actual riding slightly embarassing as I had to get used to distributing my weight again. Once you learn you never forget, however, so I was cruising around and bunny-hopping in no time flat. It was nice to just get out and enjoy the weather, as I was stuck inside all day working on a national holiday (go figure).
This entry also finds me unfortunately and completely single again. I would have enjoyed having an exclusive relationship with kristina, but I guess it wasn't meant to be right now, so that puts me right back in the old dating pool again. Oddly enough I called my best friend in SP to see how he was doing, and he informed me that his longtime friend with benefits/girlfriend for a week had put an end to their romantic relationship as well, so we are planning a single guys night out at the bars in Stevens Point for as soon as possible. It's not so much as to celebrate our mutual "dumpage" as it is to hang out together, maybe tell some sob stories, and get over our troubles over a frosty beer or two. (Although I think Bill just drinks Captain and Coke, but I'll have a beer for sure.)
And now the question begs to be asked; Should I grow my beard out this summer, even though I have in theory nothing to look forward to girl wise in September? The answer, of course, is yes. I am quite bummed about Kristina's decision, although I should have seen it coming and it is perfectly rational, and therefore my beard growing will serve its normal purpose, and that is to reflect my feelings of sadness at such a great opportunity halted. I know that in a way it was my own fault for getting too excited about her and the possibility of there being an us, but I have to say she really made me happy. Happier than all the parties and drinking and drugs and random hook-ups I've had for the last year and a half, and girls like that are hard to come by, believe me, I know.
