whilst i am flying the solo 'chief' here in kc [pun intended... hence the " ' "] i guess i have a bit of time to update my blog with the goings on and such.
i hope to go around sometime soon and take some pics to post on here as well so that there are more than just words to this blog. since i can't read a book without pictures how can i expect anyone to read a blog without these visually pleasing devices as well? i suppose i can't... but alas, black and white words will have to suffice for now.
today was an intersting day to say the least... or the most... why say the least when i can be so good at going off on tangents upon tangents never to actually return to the original theme, getting lost in the tangent maze... thus constituting 'most' and definately not 'least'.
anywho, i got my bike and unicycle all fixed up today. i cleaned a bit and then practiced the unicycle a smidge before deciding to bike to the plaza then then subsequently the gym. after the haven that is panera [where i currently sit for it's wonders of internet use] i went to bike to the 24hr fitness that i joined yesterday for a free week membership. as a note, this place is 7-8 miles from where i was coming from [the plaza] which is about 2 miles from where i live. anywho, just as i was about to head up a slight hill on ward parkway, i decided to pump hard [get your mind out of the gutter] since there was no sidewalk on this portion of the road. upon initiating the hard pumping action, as i was riding in the far right-hand lane, the chain on the bike said something to me...
it said 'you know what, asshole... i don't really want to do this anymore and put up with you and your hard-pumping foot action... i quit'.
just as i heard those words from underneath me [again... get your mind out of the gutter] my feet gave way, the chain broke in two, got jammed into the rear wheel, managed to stop the bike clean and then throw me forward and slightly into traffic. when i finally came to a stop after my nice skid... it was as if i was on a slip and slide with no yellow banana rubber underneath me [yet again... mind out of the gutter]... i then got up and grabbed me bike and threw it out of the path of traffic. luckily as i was thrown, the car that was just behind me was able to swerve to the left to avoid running me over... but it was a freakin' close... a little too close if you ask me. going the meagerly 20 mph-ish i find myself luck to walk away with a few road burns and a sore wrist [i wish it was a soar wrist, that way it wouldn't have smacked the ground to become a sore wrist] that is a bit swollen and such.... i have found my fingers tingling slightly more than usual as i type this evening.
anywho... i grabbed my bike and walked/pseudo-rode it back to the apt.... about 3 miles or so. it was a good ways up hill and would def. have been easier if i could have just sat on the bike and rode it down hill 3 miles. but fate has its way of laughing in my face, then farting on my pillow and giving me pink-eye from the dirty fomite [i don't really have pink eye... but pink areas where i used to have epidermal coverings of my skin].
so after getting back to the place, i washed up a bit, decided to clean some more and then headed out to the gym to get my lift on... and now i sit and type... inspired to write some poetry or something. basically things just haven't been going the best lately and i suppose i deserve that fall, that accident to just add to things. so i will end this entry and write something else...
i hope that everyone that reads this has been having a better time/day than i...
but still... love and happiness to all...
love,
