i am that idiot

having a hard time finding making time to write
i have to get better about that

remember those friday nights
in the dead of summer
98 degrees
132% humidity
africa hot
driving down the road
in your air conditioned car
from your air conditioned house
to the air conditioned bar
to get a nice cold beer in an icy mug
and you'd see someone running
and you'd say
outloud
f*$%#&g idiot???
i remember

i am that idiot

heather's sisters and kids were in town this past weekend
(that's a whole other story for big rhonda's world )
i was scheduled to run saturday morning
there was no way i was going to be going to bed
early on a friday night
while the sisters and kids were in town
so i could get up and run early in the am
so i got home from work
did a quick turn around
and ran
and man was it hot
but man was it awesome
the thing that you don't know when you are driving down the road
is that idiot doesn't HAVE to be out there
they have chosen to be out there
which may make them an even bigger idiot in your eyes
but
the heat
the swamp ass
the sweat dripping in your eyes
the feeling that you could throw up
it's all worth it
when you think the heat is winning
that you just don't have it in you
when you put your head down and
JUST GO
then all of a sudden
you are done
you did it
and then
you can walk back into your air conditioned house...

i am that idiot
i've been called worse...
