feeling it.
alton brown, a veritable genius. i'm watching the beginning of "feasting on asphalt" season two. can you think of anything better than riding around the country, on a motorcycle or otherwise, with a few cameramen buddies to just eat at authentic roadside eateries while filming it for tv? i can't.
so i honestly think these things in the comfort of a parent-less home, on a night like this when everyone is out of the house and i'm able to enjoy complete solitude. because at this point in life, right before i leave college, really anything is there for the taking...i think the only thing that will hold me back is practicality vs. everything i want. meaning, i hope i won't be lured back to the comfort of a secure (albeit unfulfilling) job at home after graduation.
god, i'm on vacation, yet i still think about this ALL the time.
but to take my mind off of it, my ass/hamstrings/lower back remind me of the hell we went through last night. it wasn't actually tooooo bad--i just bitch because i'm sore from 30 minutes of bailing rainwater out of our poorly-draining back patio (it flooded over 10 years ago, prompting my dad to stay up for nearly 2 days straight to power-vac water from our basement carpet). last night was literally the worst storm i've ever seen at home--the rain came quick, and fell hard...and it didn't let up for awhile. even after the height of the lightning and thunder left, the sun shone through the rain, still pouring carelessly. by then, in my shorts/t-shirt/sorel boots, i was soaked to the bone. it was exhilarating, but like doing about 30 minutes of continual squats out of the blue, with no prior training. good LORD. well, i best get used to it, as i will take on the joy of WEIGHTLIFING in the fall. diggity.
now time for some family guy and bed. ah, what a rockstar life.
