Until The Day I Die

This past weekend was not entirely what I thought it would have been.

Friday was a day to relax. After work I curled up with video games and writing all night - a solid six hours of relaxation B3-style.

Saturday was all over the map - a little exercise, a little lunch, a little swimming, and a little dinner out. I went out for a nice dinner with a friend, but that was where the night ended - kind of a disappointment since I was expect at least drinks afterwards, but no matter. I did reinforce one of my most important life lessons, however: being lazy and indecisive is for the weak. I was in a funk all day long, and it definitely showed that night as I stumbled my way through dinner and did nothing worthwhile afterward - straight to bed with me.

I spent Sunday in a mini-reboot mode. I woke up early and took off for the Towpath Trail in Waterville for some sweaty, high-humidity hiking. To be short, I walked my troubles and self-doubt away, which felt great. I spent the rest of Sunday relaxing with my parents, although it was kind of a slow, wasted day in my eyes.

Is my life becoming a little stale again? No, not really - I have just been falling behind my fitness curve without a bike (I should have my new bike this week sometime - stay tuned for that post). What I did do Sunday, though, was quite extreme, even for me: I signed up for a tandem skydive. At the end of August I will venture to Tecumseh, MI, climb to 14,000 feet in a prop plane, and free-fall my ass back to earth. Yeah, I know, this is totally unlike me. This is also the exact kind of spontaneous action that I am trying to generate in my life. More to come on this one... I promise!

B3 out.
