cold...

well, this little blurb is about something that i have declared as of late... a recent epiphany, a dawning of a revelation, a brilliant conclusive solution to years of desires... or at least a simple thought that just nags at your mind like that piece of hair that sometimes brushes up against your nose and even when it is gone it's presence is still felt... and that thought lingers
this delusion of grandeur comes with the paramount thought that i am definitely moving somewhere warm after i graduate. this monumentally momentous idea came to me the other day while i was taking a short run outside. as my legs, via my shoes, caressed the terrain, and my skin sliced through the air, rescinded memories of runs gone by arose out of nowhere. thoughts of days now passed where i would go for midnight or 2 a.m. runs in the familiar winter air of the carolinas. the air always had a particular feel to me that i had grown to anticipate and embrace on the occasional night that, through my desires, i needed to spend some time with the road, become familiar with it and reunite with my old friend. this air felt familiar... mildly warm, semi-moist... not the bone-chilling, frigid tundra that it has felt like lately. it is curious how a sensation like that, the wind or the air feels, can give you such vividly clear reminiscent memories. well, these runs were a part of me, a part of me that, at that moment, i felt were a part of me that i did not want to be without.
i care not to feel as if someone shoved a iron rod drawn from liquid nitrogen in all orifices at once. shoot, it is bad enough getting your tongue stuck on mildly chilled spoon. when the weather speaks to you as if to say, 'WTF are YOU doing?... get back INSIDE sucker..." well, i don't like it when the weather talks to me in that tone of voice. bad weather... bad weather. yep, bad weather is right; or should i say oh so very wrong?
anywho, it has been decided that, be it the carolinas or california [since i am a coastal kid... or anything in between relatively suitable] that is where i think i want to be. i don't get the point of being miserable in the cold when you can enjoy the outdoors and warmth most days of the year. for those of you that know me, you know that i enjoy the outdoors as much as anything else, and this whole, having to workout indoors all the time, really frustrates me. not that i mind the lifting and workout out indoors... but i am also reminded of why i wanted to go to the carolinas in the first place... i am not a fan of winters... snow or not... not a fan of the cold. i enjoy the snow when it comes as it can be fun, but after a while i would like to do away with it and get back to the cozy hotness. that is why it makes sense for a place like carolina or cali to be on my mind, since they are so close to snow, but it is good for a day trip and can then be done away with at leisure.
i suppose i could go on and on with this topic, but alas, i choose to bid adieu now, and move my evening forth...
love to all,
