wow, there are a lot of cool things out there...

Every now and again, I get the urge to start a good pit-style rant… The last couple days I’ve been getting more and more pissed off at myself… so, tonight when my wife announced that she was going to bed, I figured I’d go outside, have a smoke, and get a good long rant straight in my head…

Then the strangest thing happened… while chilling out and enjoying my ciggy, I raised my arm to take a drag… the course leather of my coat sleave creaked in the coolest way.

The utter coolness of that leather creaking made me litterally take a step back and think about, well, everything… My pissed off attitude suddenly faded away, and I started to take note of just how cool different things were…

I admired the the hazy darkness of the rainy night… I took note of the sound of the cars speeding by on the moist road… I watched my neighbors’ dogs romp about in the shadows…

So I came inside, grabbed a laptop, and decided to post something other than a rant… I’m actually pretty impressed with the beauty of life…

feel free to ignore this entire thread… I just wanted to write for a while. I may be a BOFH, but I’m still a creative writer.

:wink:

ahhhhh drivel… ain’t it grand? as for why I’ve been pissed off at myself… I think that’s a different thread… a good writer always leaves his audience begging for more.

(I’ll try to lurk less and post more… if people are curious)

This wasn’t a tobacco cigarette was it?

I’ve had days like that. One time I was out walking after class and noticed how the cars lined up at the parking meters looked an awful lot like a row of feeding animals. Made me smile. I think spacing out like that is nature’s way of keeping you from throwing yourself in front of a train after frustrating days…

I walk around looking at stuff like that most of the time. And people wonder why it never seems like I’m listening to them…

kindred spirit here. Makes you wonder why some people spend so much time chasing after. . . stuff, when it’s all right there.
