I know some of you have this picture in your minds that I'm some kind of fat geek that sits at his computer all day and does nothing, or reads books all day, or comics, or whatever. Truth be told, that really is how I am most of the time. But I am also a nature fanatic. Not because I know everything about it, or because God touches me through nature, but because I can sit in utter silence for hours, listening to the world around me... the birds, the insects.. whatever.
But every so often, I get the urge for adventure. I want it. I crave it. If anyone knows me, they can tell when I get the urge because I'll stare at the sky and not hear a word anyone's saying, or I'll simply sit there, stone faced and brooding in my own thoughts. People say I should go camping, or go fishing, or do some sort of outdoor thing, but there's no real goal to that, is there? Nope.
I've got a goal, but I'm not going to talk about it yet. It needs far more preparation than I'm willing to admit at the moment. But I'll do it. I'll complete it. And it'll be the greatest thing that I've ever done. Not because it'll look good, but because it will be the first real thing I've done for myself. Me.
I am thrilled to be on the brink of something big.
