the life, the now

...there's something kinda depressing, and kinda comforting about being on this computer, searching whatever, listening to music when it calls, and listening to mom and dad working at a cross word puzzle in the kitchen (something they never used to do).

I was riding up on the hill at Ku, and the football team was practicing their two minute drills with fake crowd noise blaring through the loud speakers obviously in an effort to be able to make plays without being able to hear. I couldn't help but think as my back was turned, pumping my legs up the steep hill, that maybe I was Lance Armstrong, and the crowd was roaring as I neared the top of the hill, pushing me on to beat the frenchmen....
