Christening

so what better way to christen a newly born blog, not unlike a rosy infant in its mother's arms, then to write about what a great night last night was. there were these two parties going on simultaneously-- one a birthday party on windom street, the second an '80s themed debauch-fest over on yuma. the back doors of the two houses were on the same alleyway, so one could, if one wished, walk with little effort from the backyard of windom over to yuma. needless to say, i wished.

boy! it was like we ran the block. nothing else mattered. just a ton of kids running around, being useless and destructive. i'd hang out at windom, talk to dustin about bourbon and the South, drink some, walk over to yuma, dance and let my hair down, you know. and then rinse and repeat! it was great. never stayed in one place too long, gotta keep on your toes.

so school starts tomorrow and i couldn't be more, well, excited? happy? i don't know, really. pumped. i'm definitely pumped. summer really takes it out of you, boy. everyone seems so full of life now! the dudes next door keep whooping it up, hollerin and carryin on, and i can't find it in my heart to tell them to keep it down. it's a beautiful thing.

that's a theme for the semester. even with the knowledge that things'll cool off and lull, one must remember these times of great promise, and know that nothing's too far away from it. things will cool off. but right now the heat is on! yeah!
