In light of the fact that it was such a nice sunny pseudo warm make you
think that spring is coming only to have snow in the forecast after the
predicted thunderstorm later this week, I decided to take advantage of
this nice day and go for a walk.
The thing I seem to always forget is that I live in MI. The motorcity captial of the world. Granted I could've walked around aimlessly in my subdivison looking at all the cookie cutter houses wishing I were somewhere else because I hate walking without a destination in mind unless I'm visiting a new city where everything is new and something to be explored. So I decided I would walk to the local Kroger because I needed to get a few small items that wouldn't be horrible to carry home with me. And then they say something about the best laid plans of mice and men. At some point walking on the side of the road against traffic, as I don't trust the buggers, I came to this conclusion. You know how the tobacco industry has to put a lot of money into getting people to not smoke and they have to give money to the schools to get kids to not smoke too? Well I decided that someone should sue the auto industry and have them pay for sidewalks to be put into cities, so that pedestrians have a place to walk without fear of being hit by a car or in my case, VERY MUDDY SHOES!!! I literally got stuck at one point, so much so that I pulled my foot out of my shoe. Last night my shoes were occasionally touching feculant water due to an overflowing toliet and bad luck on my part and today they are caked in mud. eeeks I say!
But overall it was a good time. I listened to NPR's This American Life on the way out and on the way home I listened to lots of music, sang Lenny Kravitz's version of American Woman while thinking about Lester Burnham and my aspirations in life. After my pursuit of being a cow bell player in a band (still waiting for North to give me a chance :)) for awhile till I get bored of the sound of the cowbell, and after my pursuit of being a dog walker (preferable in France or somewhere I don't have to clean up dog poop), I may end up giving it all up to buy my muscle car and work out in my garage smoking pot supplied by the creepy dude next door while working at a cheesy fast food resturant (the last part will be hard because I promised my parents years ago I'd never work in fast food). It's good to have goals, dreams, and aspirations even if they aren't realistic, technically not mine to begin with, and extremely cheesy. And the walk ended with the ever so true words of the Rolling Stones, "you can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need."
I talked to N today. She looked at 2 houses this weekend. She liked both of them. One is in Milford and the other in Westland. She likes the one in Milford a little more, so she's put in the verbal offer today and the written tomorrow. If that falls through, she'll put an offer on the house in Westland. So what I am kind of hoping is that a) she gets one or the other of them and b) I can stay here till the end of March or whenever we're able to move in cause I don't want to get moving my crap around, worry about places to live, and asking people to help me with all that. We'll see what happens and I'll keep you posted.
One Random bit of info looking at a calendar. I mentioned in an earlier post that this year lines up date wise to 1994. So if my memory serves me correctly it was 11 years ago today that I lost my virginity. Although I suppose it could've been yesterday. I thought it was a Sunday afternoon though. Ponderous man...really ponderous.
