Getting exercise is so much easier during summer. And tons more fun too. I took a jog after work today. Perfect weather as late afternoon twilight sun cast shadows over the land of Westminster. I had the rhythm. It felt so good, I did a second lap. I must have sweated a good pint per minute toward the end there. Yes!

Then I did something fairly out of character for me. Back in the apartment, with gallons of sweat still gushing out of every pore, I jumped in the bathtup, and took a nice cold shower. I mean COLD. (For me, anyway. Which is to say, anything less than scalding hot is defined as "cold". But it was cold.) Enough to make my entire body wreathe in shock. Taste the sensation.

But now, I'm feeling good because I just wrote a check. Using the money from today's paycheck, I bit the bullet, and took out the final chunk out of my last student loan debt. That's one less stamp I'll be using every month from now on. Yay! Time to do the Britney dance.

[Bitscape will refrain from removing any articles of clothing at this time, however. Good thing I don't have a webcam. Because that would just be... so not worth looking at. Uggh.]

Now, I'm fairly broke. (Thankfully, I still have a job for the moment at least.) But I feel good because the only substantial debt left now is the bill for good old Tobias. That's a hefty hunk of change left to pay. The goal is still to have it finished by the end of year. Maybe a couple months before that. With one less other bill to pay now, that will be even easier. Yes, I feel good.

(And no, not really a James Brown fan. But today, those words fit.)

I fully expect to be hitting the club scene in under 2 hours. The thought occurs to me that it might be fun to try a few of Denver's other attractions at some point. But tonight, I think I'll likely do Club Onyx again. That place just rules.

The challenge for me tonight is to do something outrageous. Something embarrassing. Something that takes me to the edge of my comfort level, and perhaps venturing into the zone of downright uncomfortable. But still have loads of fun. (Or maybe not. Fun can sometimes be an elusive thing.) Life's eternal paradox.

Between now and then, I think I'll... I dunno. Read, meditate, listen to more music, straighten this place up slightly, catch a Buffy episode, or something. Choices are abundant. Or maybe I'll do nothing. That wouldn't be out of the ordinary. Anyway... End Of Rambling.
