Everything and nothing... a new concept

Today was one of the first days in a while that I've spent by myself. Tara had an all day Rainbow meeting in Bumblefuck,CT. As I was driving her there she asked me what I was gonna do today. I sat there for a bit. In my head I was like "What do I want to do by myself? I have no clue". I could sit in my room and watch movies and finish reading The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test. I could sit on the computer and watch hours of porn and go on Stumbleupon. I had no clue. So I said the first thing that came to my head. "I'm gonna go for a bike ride." In January. I used to ride my bike all around town. Once I got my car I rode a little less. Once Tara and I started dating I hardly touched the thing. Anyway so I dropped her off and went home. I ha already decided on the way home that I'd was my car first.I took it to this place where you pay $5 to wash it yourself in this garage where they have cool soap brush things and power washers. My car looks nice. Anyway so I got home, put air in my tires and rode without any idea as to where I would be going. I ended up riding through Pine Orchard and Stony Creek for over 2 hours. I got home exhausted, barely able to walk to the door. But it was worth it. For me the freedom and solidarity that comes with riding by yourself is just amazing. It's kind of a high really. I was all bundled up and probably looked a little sketchy with a hood over my head in all black I didn't care. So that was that. I'm tired of writing so I'll be back later. Bye
