Day off

Ah the day off.  A concept far greater than anyone could have imagined.  Day off means lake time.  This normally consists of a waverunner, an ipod, and a large body of water.  But how does something like this begin?  Typically you might think of sleeping in or being lazy or doing laundry. 

Well the alarm clock may be turned off but the alarm cat is always ticking.  It starts going off typically around 7ish.  A very curious mechanism indeed, has the ability to nudge your hand around.  Now this particular device does not have a snooze button.  If it does i cant find it. After a few sessions of this the alarm cat goes to stage 2.  This involves approaching my face from a perpendicular position assuring maximum nasal penetration with its whiskers.  This is the moment where you can opt to wake up or purrmanently shut off your icat but flinging it across the room and splattering it on the wall.  The various animal rights groups are not fond of the latter.

Anyway its day off.  Capacity for rational thought is about zero for the next 24 hours, the care cup is bone dry, and....uh...need coffee.

Ok back to the lake.  Aside from the shower, i do my best thinking out there.....and singing.  The clarity with which you can organize and sift thorough your thoughts, make decisions and choices, or simply clear your head of all that nonsense is amazing.  On a random sidenote i was asked once why I chose a waverunner over a motorcycle.  Well duh, isnt the answer obvious?  Guess not.  Ok well if i had a motorcycle and im doing 50mph and decide i just feel like doing something totally stupid that the end result is probably going to be me flying through the air its most likely going to ruin my day.  Now if choose that same pure spontaneous act of stupidity doing 50 on a waverunner that gets me ejected and feeling like batman, how much it makes my day better really depends on how many people actually saw it.  For me the key to maximizing the benefits of this form of relaxation didnt present itself right away.  Having an ipod while riding was like...i dont even know so forget that part.

Ok some songs from todays playlist

Metallica - lots of it
Syrian - Musika Atomika
Linkin Park - New Divide

random movie quote stuck in my head...
Woman:  How do you write women so well?
Man:  I think of a man, and i take away reason and accountability.
