time to suck it up today. monday i gathered enough motivation to run through 3" of snow on the trail, but yesterday chicago got hit with another 2-4 inches. so i stayed inside and then watched pirates of the carribean with a friend instead of going to water polo practice. at least i got a work out shoveling the driveway. damn i wish the mercury would inch up past 20 degrees.
alas, i forgot "breakfast of champions" at my friends apartment. kicking myself in the ass. have to make it over to wicker park to get it. after realizing i had no vonnegut to entertain me, i decided to start re-reading dark tower II, drawing of the three. i keep dreaming of the moment when roland will finally reach the dark tower. king totally has me hooked.
what to do about my new lady friend. until new years it seemed to be smooth sailing. live it up and visit with old friends before shipping off to basic. now it appears that we will be faced with a decision when she comes to visit.
it seems totally absurd, to speak of keeping it going or giving it a chance when she lives on the west coast and i will be on the east coast for at least six months--two of which will be in boot camp with no way to communicate except writing letters. whoa that was a long sentence.
whatever it is we have, it should end when i leave, however, both of us have hesitated to say it or admit it. why? is the candle worth the game? heard that once somewhere and it haunts me. neither of us need to be in a relationship. we are independent and confident with ourselves.
some people aren't like that. i've got plenty of friends who can't stand to be w/o a significant other, and now they are finding themselves engaged. i wonder if they are just settling (probably) or if they have found something special (doubt it).
i have been faced with two similar situations and in either case i did not make the right decision. now i feel it's time for me to prove i can learn from my mistakes. if i were a wise man, i would be thinking of how to say "we'll always have paris" when she comes to visit. maybe it's time to watch casablanca. bogart rules.
