Not the natural blues

September 30, 2002

I just biked to the other side of campus and back to cash some checks at the credit union – and it felt great.

I’ve come to the realization that I can’t be bored. If I get bored, I just sit in front of the computer and waste away my time. That’s good to a point, but I’m actually getting hard evidence now that getting outside is a lot better. Here’s what I’m proposing for myself: instead of just slumping in front of the computer when I know I’ll have a couple hours of free time, I go out and bike. It’s great exercise and it’s fun. Either that or I’ll hop in my car and go exploring. That’s a lot of fun, too; I can’t wait ’til next weekend when I go on a trip throughout the Western mountains.

So that’s my plan for now. Whether I go through with it or not, I’m not sure. I hope I can remember how good I feel right now, though.
