some people like the stifling heat.
what is stifling isn't so much the heat but the humility.
all within a 40 minute bike ride, from which i am stil sweating,
i suffered a stroke, cardiac arrest, emphysema, cirrhosis, leg cancer, death, rebirth and lateral transcendence, which led me right back to this hellish heat of kansas.
i rode back home and am about to shower....

most people don't think about whence, but its a noble word.
highly unknown, increasingly less used and obscure it plods onward.
it takes on the duty of two completely different words and becomes a symbol.
the vast majority of times i've heard it used, it was used incorrectly in one of two ways:
the most common way is when people say 'from whence', which is...

I tolerate very very little stupidity, could be why I am lacking in the friends department.
kloiterra:
If you really want to impress yr friends, start using 'wherefore' instead of 'why', or as many of my friends say, "whut fer?".
Grammar nazi onward!

the cooler doors that hold the import beers at jensen liquors in lawrence, ks are along one wall of a very narrow hall in the back of the store, just wide enough for the doors to swing open.
i went in first, then rob.

I fresh read today and I think how silly of me to have taken it differently...
And I know you better. Way better.
I don't care how long that beard grows or if it doesn't. I want to know that you're doing the right thing for your life.

supposed to have gone to emporia with my mother yesterday, but being that it was still raining and had been raining for the five days prior, we decided that it would be better to wait till next week to make the 80 minute trek and search for a place for me to relocate.
instead, i took her to the westport area where we perused the...

in the last couple of weeks i've completely lost myself;
just along for the ride in the body.
been drenched a bicycle/rain combo that was a lot of refreshing, childlike fun.
truly good clean fun. didn't even need to shower afterwards
got the brand new Sleepytime Gorilla Museum CD.
got a DVD titled "My Grandmother", a 1929 silent russian slapstick that was banned...

So what was the song? Did you find the brown note?
Alone time is always a nice balance. It doesn't seem like too long ago when it felt like the only option. Enjoy these final weeks of yours amongst a higher population of people and friends.
I'll be happy to visit and keep you company...and see "My Grandmother." I hope the narration can be fixed. Oh well. Enjoy it anyways and maybe add your own Nils impression of a narration.

been riding around town on my bike a lot lately.
riding with my buddy rob.
we cruise around, find neighborhoods that we didn't even know existed.
his bike broke down the other day. he had to push it home.
he has two old cruisers.
real beaters, and i mean old. one speed, gas-tank, 60's or earlier.
they're perfect for him.

Thank you for commenting on my set!
what do you say to a dead man?
went with my mother to the same hospital i was in five years ago to visit my step-cousin Kerry.
the waiting room: aunt mildred, her not-so-bright sister roberta, kerry's father elvis (al) and his wife helen.
lots of talk about "the lord" and miracles.
i don't believe in miracles. i mean, if one thing is a miracle,...

"safe journey, see you on the other side."
to finish the story, the plug was pulled, the tubes removed at 5pm yesterday.
at 8:30, perhaps they all believed in miracles a little less.

for the first time in my life, i went to emporia, kansas today to enroll for fall.
there was a fairly small group of people there for this purpose.
we registered and then sat in the commons area waiting for the inevitably boring ritual to commence.
these orientation days are dramatically less enjoyable the second time you have to sit through one....

I'm glad you're excited about this. I'm happy you made it this far and I'll be happy when you follow it through.
I can say a bunch of philosophical mumbo-jumbo about your journey, but I'll let your graduation speaker sum it up for you. They always have plenty to say.
Congratulations, Ryan
Keep looking forward.
