Annnd…. BANG! it’s summer. Just like that.
Usually I try and make a list of goals at the start of each season, but this time I don’t think I’m going to confine my goals to bullets. Instead, I’m just going to coast. I feel like something needs to change for me this summer, but I don’t know what it is. I must mellow out. I need to relax and let the summer do its thing.
Perhaps I’ll take monday July third off form work. I’ll buy 4 dozen lemons, a bag of ice, and a pound of sugar and make frosty lemonades in glass mugs on the beaches of cape cod. Maybe I’ll get a haircut. I’ll flirt with the wind and my kite.
I should sing more when I mow the lawn. and whistle. I might want to start running again, but not for strength or endurance. Just to sweat. I’ll consider buying things like new pants and hot shirts, but i won’t because I’m too cheap. I’ll cook more for myself and treat myself to healthy dishes overflowing with vegetables. I don’t want junk food, chocolate, or chicken wings. I want purity and simplicity. A clean desktop and an uncomfortable chair. I want to have way too much nature. I want to completely resist the temptation to itch my bugbites. I want to lose at darts and not care. I never want to procrastinate when going to bed, and I’m tired of being sick.
Ryan Schenk said to me the other day “this is what I imagine Mike D wakes up to every day”
And while that’s not quite true, I think that’s what I want for summer 2006; sickeningly happy mornings.
Going to coast is the best thing to do during summertime.
I’ve linked you up in my blog since you might give ideas to the readers about what to do this summer. :D
