aside from going downhill on a bicycle, I also enjoy driving up to 90 mph on the highway when the coast is clear.
I just imagine Senna and how it would have felt like to be on the passenger's seat while he drove.
I need to learn to drive a stick.
that day I walked the streets / walked the line like on a secret map
someone must have drawn in my head / leaving signs that I couldn't read
which side are you gonna be on?
i've got tons of things i want to do within the next few months. my dilemma is deciding what to do first.
...these damn decisions. they either make you or break you.
i was walking home looking at the trees.
i got the feeling that they were looking back at me.
take it easy on me...
things i often murmur to myself—
"easy, mae. easy."
"cool your jets, mae. cool your jets."
"let it go. let. it. go."
"it's no big deal. no biggie. smalls."
"peace. peas. easy peasy."
-i'm running errands in the summer heat today and might possibly attend a birthday party tonight, then a baby shower tomorrow. social anxiety on full force this weekend.
-speaking of anxiety, i might need to cut down on coffee. four cups a day cannot be good...
-bathrooms have the greatest acoustics. i'm recording my first album in a bathroom.
summer's here and i've got the outdoors on my mind. not that there aren't things to do in the wintertime... i'd like to try snowboarding/skiing some time. my friends always brag about how much fun it is. as long as there's a low chance of avalanches, i'm up for it.
in the meantime, i'll make the most of the daylight lasting longer. i'm still in the middle of the city, but pocketed within it are glimpses of nature, wondermous nature to trample on. i mean, hike... on. it's an odd notion, though, for "nature" to be in the midst of a concrete jungle. it feels superficial, but at the least, i have a place to get away to in a short amount of time.
one of the things i live for: cycling downhill at an adrenaline-pumping fast speed and be fearless enough to not even let your fingers tip toe the hand brakes.
my bike gets used up a lot during the summer. i usually ride through the l.a. river bike path and griffith park, but someday, i'd love to run away to the countryside of france or italy and use my bicycle as my main mode of transport.
there are good things ahead. more road trips are in the works which can only mean one thing. hiking! and perhaps camping and some more bike riding...
