   Open Your Eyes- Staind
heres a quick little story:

August 21 11:35 pm..
I sign offline and go out on my back porch to look at the sky.. I like looking at the night sky, but I was disappointed with the view my back porch had to offer, so I left my back porch and went out to the front of my house, but found that was not better. So I walked down to the end of my street, and decided to forget about the moon and take a walk cuz i needed to do some thinking. I didnt have a particular goal in mind, but I just wanted to keep walking. I found myself following the street lights.. I mean, I know that their everywhere, but I would pick one and walk towards it until i picked another... so anyway, in doing leads me out to where a local golf course keeps all of theri golf carts, and I noted that after that spot, the road had no mroe lights.. so I took a cut through an apartment compounds parking lot.. only to find they thought it would be cool to put a fence in the middle. Once I reached the top of the fence, I realized they had designed the top especially to keep people from what I was doing.. in doing so, they had cut all of the metal pieces and left large jagged edges sticking up. Well screw them and their stupid fences, I wanted over. After only receiving 8 small cuts ( 3 on my right hand, 2 on my right wrist, 1 on my left wrist, and 2 on my left foot (i was barefoot)), and I also managed to rip one my my wristbands... its not broke, but close. So i got to where I wanted to be and started for home. I reached the homestreach for my road to find a clear view of the moon, which was cool i guess.the walk itself only took about an hour
thats the story, now for 2 things that happened during it:

1- I was on a long stretch of street early on in the walk, so i took the time to run (something i dont really get to do).. and i wanted to see just how fast i can run (its really fast), so i built up my momentum and let loose, and i eventually wasnt able to see too well cuz my head could get things into focus before i moved again, my stride was too quick.. i dont know how fast i was, but i know that several years ago, my top speed was over 20 mph.. so i dont know exactly how fast i was going.. but i think i covered more than a football fields length in a remotely short amount of time...
2- I hadnt realized it until it was too late, but i walked by a graveyard... i hate things related to the dead.. ive purposely not watched crazy zombie movies could it would torment me.. though ive seen sleepy hollow, thats different.. but i didnt like going past it.. creepy..

thats about it.. sorry, i just wanted to write it down before i forgot
