Hey hey. Hopefully I can think of articles to post on here fairly regularly. If not, suck it. I'll probably write about movies I like, stuff I'm thinking about, or just anything. So here I am!
Relaxation at its finest
Published on May 14, 2004 By apdelong31 In Sports & Leisure
Sundays really are good for something besides being the last day before the work week begins again. There's NOTHING more relaxing than laying on your bed, listening to some music, and just thinking. Accessories such as slight breeze or birds chirping may be added if desired. It's the greatest feeling in the world. You aren't tied to anything. You don't even have to worry about what to think about or what to do, what's due in the near future, or thinking about your flaws.

I like to think about my girlfriend, just cuz that's what I do every minute of every day. I think about when I first saw her playing basketball when I was a ninth grader. Then the following summer, I actually got to talk to her at the sports physicals of all places. I think about all the good times, scary times, and times that have yet to come. For example, I can't wait to drive. I haven't been able to shake this image in my head, and if you care to listen, I'll paint it for you:

It's around dusk on a late summer's day. Earlier that day say I went golfing or something, did something I really love doing. Then I got all washed up, met up with the lady friend, and we just drive. I imagine driving on a road in the country with fields on either side and an occasional tree in between fields. The road's not your typical country road, it's wide enough so I don't have to worry too much about keeping the car on the road. And it's straight as an arrow. The sun is just below the trees so it's not blinding as we're driving towards it, but the sky is beautiful. I won't describe the sky, everyone has seen a beautiful sunset and knows that it defies the spoken word. We're not even talking to each other, we just bask in the setting, the peace, and what it's like to be free on the road. ...And I'm not going really fast either, she wouldn't like that, I'd say about 60-65.

Now that I'm back to May 14, I'd like to apologize to MadPoet, even if he doesn't read this, for the completely poetic slaughtering I accomplished of that scene. I don't know how to get out of that scene or what to do when the sun goes down, but I really wish for that. Usually when I'm done thinking about my girlfriend, that scene, or nothing at all, I fall asleep and wake up three hours later, regretting that I took a nap because I'm never going to sleep that night and be tired the next day at school.

Oh...very nice, Andy....very nice indeed. I too find time for thinking and projecting little fantasies(not just the sick ones, either), much like yours....I find that doing that if very relaxing and provides a momentary elation and peace with yourself....as for your description of the scene, I feel you need not apologise for you did not "slaughter" it for truly I have seen much worse but, be confident in yourself as you develop these things, you are a good writer...trust me....I can tell....it's all in the detail and you painted a lovely little picture for everyone...
(Ok, that's enough warm fuzzies for right now...lol)

Peace,
