I love summer. I really do. I mean, honestly who doesn't.
I also love seeing the look on your best friend's face when you surprise him by driving halfway across town at 1 in the morning just to see him tend bar for the 2nd and probably last time in his life. Especially after texting him the whole night saying how you couldn't make it out there because it is too far. I just like seeing people genuinely happy especially if I am the cause or part of the cause of their happiness. Especially if it is something as small as driving to their work. The look on his face when I walked up to the bar, priceless. Knowning that something means so much to someone just makes everything worth it.
I think this is why I like bike riding so much. It just gives me time to appreciate life, to appreciate Lawrence and to appreciate myself. Buying a bike last year was the single best decision in my life. I am not sure about anything else I have ever decided but buying my bike was the best 70 dollars I have ever spent and the best decision I have ever made. Man, I can't say that enough. My bike gives me confidence in my self, my appearence, my awareness and many things. I just plain makes me happy. What I love the most about it is that I can bike 5 mile, 10, 15, 30 miles and still want more. I can't run even half a mile. I don't get anything out of running other than wishing it was over and feeling good after I finish. However I get excited about biking before I even have my bike with me. I feel free and incredibly happy when I am on my bike. I feel good about myself and like I got a good workout when I am done riding. I'm going to stop talking about my love obession with my bike now.
