Shortcut
T'was an interesting Monday one must say. I'm not sure I liked it much, but it was interesting. It felt like I zombied through the day. Meanwhile, crappy systems of life urge me to subscribe. Just because everyone else does doesn't make it a better system. Let's skip the boring parts and get to the part where Jon and I accidentally climbed a mountain.
It was a beautiful day outside, and enjoyed by most. Upon invitation, some of us went over to the infamous Michael Cronk's place to make music. But first, we created a game that uses only crazy dice, and ate macaroni. Then we made music. We destroyed and remade the band in about a minute from silliness. One day we shall master screamo. One day...
Then it became the hour of 7. Hoping to cause change and impact maybe, we decided it would be an idea to head to Sarah's for her spy cell. More truthfully, we kinda wanted to see how Laura led. So, I convinced Jon that we should walk there, because a nice walk would be great. Yup. Jon had his guitar and amp crap with him though, so we had to carry that. Arriving at the top of his street, we figured that a shortcut would be in order, so we took one. Just up and over the hill. Cresswell. But then Cresswell ended, and the street we arrived at didn't have a sign stating the name. Being kinda lost but still trying to make a head map, I logiced that uphill was a good way to go. So we walked. We saw Fluffy from a distance. I don't know if the dog's name was actually Fluffy, but he heard us. Pets around there fear us. Muaha.
Walking up this dasterdly long hill for quite some time, we finally find another intersection. This one has more street signs. Yes. Checkin' it out. It said 'Forest Park Dr.' At which I respond, 'Hey, Sarah lives off Forest Park Drive'.
This is one of those moments where you realize something at the same time as everyone else around you. Even if there is only one other person. We realized that we had been going the wrong way the whole time. We went to pretty much the end of Dean Park. And then we found this, so turned around and went back to where uphill sounded like a good idea. One minute after going the other way from that intersection, we saw the street we were looking for.
So really, it would have been an excellent shortcut. Amazing really. But we went the wrong way...hahahahaha. We climbed a mountain. Muahahaha. Ahem so yeah. That kind of tires a guy out a bit, And to be honest I think my balance is sketching out a bit.
Oh Cresswell.....

That is one of the funniest posts I've ever read!!! You had me laughing the whole time!!! The dogs are scared of everyone hey? It's so annoying. There is no such thing as a leisurely walk...you're always interrupted by barking dogs...perhaps in some way that could be therapeutic??
Anyways, I'm glad that you and Jon came by, and I'm impressed he lugged his amp and guitar with him the whole way!! Koodos to Jon!!
But, can you really call it a mountain? I'm not so convinced yet....
We actually had those dogs scared though. At your place, when Toby came down, I asked if he her what we did to Fluffy. He yelped and kinda ran a step or two before he forgot. There were only three dogs really. One that barked...not too bad.
And Jon definately only carried his guitar. I got the amp. That was the condition of walking. And how could it possibly lack anything to stop it from being a mountain? There is NO flat ground. You know you've been walking uphill too long when an upwards 30 degree angle feels flat.
I love randomly climbing mountains. We have some sweet ones around my hosue back in Canada, so on hot summer days me and my friends would just start cilmbing, and stop once we got bored, Good times. Except lots of cactus..which sometimes gets stuck in your butt...which is just a whole other story.
nice story but you forgot to put me in it
just thought i would let you know i wrot that story about a wheelbarrow with sqar whells, a man made of paper and and evil twin. that you told me to write. it is posted in my blog if you wanna see it
Uphill eh? I'd say that your balance isn't the only thing you've lost. Har Har.
Peace dawg
