Life is Good

Cool nights in July

It’s not often that a cool night comes along in July when you live in Illinois. Tonight was just such a night. I have to say that I really love to walk at night. I love walking around town after the sun has set and the temperature is starting to come down. I absolutely love the fact that my girlfriends new apartment is a five minute walk from my house, and I have an excuse now to go for walks almost every night. I like walking her home and talking with her on the way, and I like having time alone to walk and breath the night air and think with a clear head. So last night I was thinking that it was a wonderful night to go for a longer walk, but I didn’t have time because of class the next day, and it turns out that it started raining not long after I went to bed. But tonight, after watching 100 girls (great movie BTW), I decided to go for a walk. So I started walking, and before I knew it, I had walked from Springfield Ave. to Florida Ave. so I decided I would head on down to the Japanese gardens by Vet Med. So I sat around there for a while and relaxed, and thought about how much I love the night and sitting in the cool grass, breathing the summer air. It was a great walk, and a great time just sitting and relaxing, and a great walk back. It was just a great night, after watching the second DVD of Escaflowne, and grilling brats and burgers, I just walked around and watched a movie and enjoyed myself. I thought a lot of deep thoughts and cleared my head of the thoughts of the day and burdens of tomorrow.

But enough rambling for now….it’s 3 am, I need to not take walks after 1am anymore…so Thank you and goodnight.
