There's a snake in my boots! Hoohoho, just kidding! My dinner tonight will probably leave me with a sugar overdose since it consisted of candy, browny batter, more candy, then brownies. Needless to say my valentines day was lovely. A singing telegram was sent to my 4th period class as I sat half awake staring at the newspaper and I was sung "Aint no mountain highhh enough, aint no....". Thats all I remember, hopefully you can fill in the rest. I later found out it was sent by my good pal nick despite the singers telling me it was from "love kitten".

Recently I have been riding in a car lost in St. Petersburg, trying to arrange a day trip, and puking. Actually that last one was only Thursday when I went home from school during 1st period quite ill.

I'm seeing Wilco on Wednesday! I've been looking forward to that for awhile.

Hmmm...I need more candy.

Here is something I wrote last Wednesday but never got around to posting. I was listening to Boards of Canada and got rather creative:

"We didn't need perfection, we hardly had to think for ourselves." Through this black hole of perfection lays a society monitored for all to live happily. My visit to this society was a large mistake and what I saw came off as horrific to my eyes. About 30 feet above the ground were hovering orbs of an indistinguishable color. They were spaced about 10 feet apart from each other in all directions. I quickly realized there was no color on this planet. Things appeared gray for the most part but different...everything had a sort of strobe effect on my brain. I later learned that these colors weren't perceivable by my species...lighter than white and darker than black. The orbs in the sky were apparently some sort of surveillance of which I never learned the exact details of, but I saw numerous "beings" levitate off the earth at what seemed to be the will of the orbs. I thought this was a planet of robots at first but soon realized it was anything but; these were all identical beings with twice the brain capacity of humans. They were harvested under the planets crust and taught nothing but being happy and staying orderly. I couldn't understand how this race was happy but it began to make more sense to me. When your taught that being happy is staring at a wall, then that could be the most euphoric experience imaginable. If things keep progressing in a society to try and please people to a greater extent than before, we will never be truly happy. To be happy, you must be at a simplistic state, blocking out the "updates" of new and exciting methods of pleasure, be happy that you exist at all, be happy that you have nature to be apart of.

The planet described in the beginning is not what I want, you would be too used to the same happiness and people would rebel. The strive for happiness is what I want; when you wait for something, it is always so much better. I will strive for this happiness at simply "being" so that when it comes, it will be the most joyous event of my life.

No, I wasn't tripping, I was just really deep into a trance while listening to Boards of Canada and decided to start writing.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a candy filled day.

Happy Cycling!
