Making Use of Time

Friday, April 14th, 2006 | GP, Stolen

So, I have not had my own computer since Tuesday morning. It’s amazing all the little things that I have come to use it for that I did not even realize. One of the biggest seems to be just to avoid Paul. I mean he hasn’t even been THAT much of an ass this week either, but if he is here, the big-ass TV is his, and so is the laptop.

Now, I am not exactly loaded for money as of late, so there is not too much I can do outside of home. So I have started reading again. So I know, I can hear the sinkers from you now…. “well, he should be without his computer more often…”. Well that’s BS. I should not be without a computer again for a long time.

Well in my quest for something to do, low ‘n’ behold it warmed up! So the other day I started running again. Well that’s not true… I mean I intended to run, but it was more like me sauntering vaguely downward. Nevermore, it gets better with time.

So instead of another attempt at running today I figured it was Devil’s Lake day. So I pawned some goods so that I would have enough money for gas and a state park pass for another year, and I left. Of course nobody was there to sell the pass today so I didn’t have to pay anyways, but no matter….

Being that this was my first climb of the year, it seemed kind of like my first run of the year…. So I kicked it into gear to huff it up the mountain. Of course I can’t make take an easy path. NOOOOOOOO WAY…. So instead once I got to the cliffs, I found the most difficult path that I had never done and I went up that way. The way I choose didn’t have almost any footholds on the left side and it was a ways up. Taking the difficult paths is way more fun though because you can feel the near-death experience coursing through every vein in your body.

After I made it up that cliff I kind of back tracked a bit so that I could do another cliff. This one also seemed to have lots of wasps hovering around it. So that helped to pump even more adrenaline in me and I made it up that one quick.

Upon getting to the top, and being completely ass out of breath, I actually felt good having done it. I mean I knew that if a group of friends had gone with me, none of them would of attempted to go up the cliffs that I did and that made me proud. Of course by this time I had all sorts of muscle spasms in every place in my body that didn’t feel like jello. Which made the walk down really tough. Of course it didn’t help that I was wearing shoes that though good for climbing, are terrible for descending, since I kept sliding forward on all the smooth rocks.

After I got home the neighbor’s were out so I took my chair (and a 6 pack of Yokel… a beer that I should spite because it replaced my favorite beer Native, but since it tastes pretty good I am letting it slide for now…), and hung out with them for most of the night.

All in all, I have been ways to use my time. Fortunately for me I sent my computer parts back to newegg in a hurry and the important package has already arrived, AND has already been reshipped to me using the upgraded fedex shipping that I convinced the lady in the newegg call center to give me for being such a good customer…. So I will have a working computer again soon (of course the weekend will muck that up a bit as well).

I suppose I could kill off some more time by finding somebody to spend Easter with, but I don’t know if I will yet. I figure perhaps Paul will have something to do for it and there4 I will have the house to myself… Well only time will tell..
