I dream of two things

Jul 30, 2002 16:14

Only two things come into my head while I'm asleep now. The first is insanely obvious. I dream of Natalie, I dream of doing anything, everything, and nothing with her. I just dream of her, here. Five more days... five more days.

The second is not quite so obvious. I dream of riding. I guess mostly it's because of everything that's been going on with Paul's bike. That, and he told me that someday before he got all the cosmetic stuff fixed up he'd take me to a parking lot somewhere and teach me how to ride. I keep dreaming of riding. Actually, in my dreams, I'm always racing someone or something.

It's been every night for the past... 4? I do want a bike.... I do. But that's not going to happen, I don't guess. Maybe next summer I can actually get a job, God forbid, and I can buy something. But then again, I'm saving for something else now. Something altogether more important than a bike. So I don't know. Just depends. We'll just have to see how it goes.

I do know that once Paul gets the mechanics fixed on his bike, I'm going to take him up on his offer. Just riding slow in a parking lot somewhere would still pretty much kick my ass. No bike now, no. Maybe no bike ever, I just don't know. But hell, if I can learn to ride, at least get the basics down, then that's a good start, right?

I would like to own a bike someday, before I die. But I'd like to do a lot of things before I die, and pretty much all of them require money. The one thing that I am saving for is what's most important to me, certainly. Spring Break 2006. It'll be a hell of a time, if it does happen, the way I envision it happening. Just depends. It's a long way off.

I guess if that doesn't work out, then the money I will have saved by that time will make a nice down payment on a bike when I graduate, huh?

I'm 1/7 or so of the way to what I want to have. This would be the trip of a lifetime.
