Into a Writer's Head

Okay, I admit it...I'm slow...

For the most part i have made peace with my slowness. i'm not slow in everything, just in somethings. I have accepted that it takes me a long time to write a book. a guy has to come out and tell me he's interested, or else i don't notice it. and that time in high school when they made us run a mile? yup, i was the last one in, somewhere around 15 minutes. No time was my slowness more apparent than yesterday. See, here's the thing. I have this wild idea that i can get in shape this summer. not that i'm out of shape, mind you, it's just that i could use some toning. I figure that since i have the summer off from classes, that i should take full advantage. this of course is why i was on my bike riding 20 miles yesterday afternoon. And here of course is where the slowness comes in. I think i'm riding at a pretty decent pace. my ass is going numb. my legs muscles are starting to warm up. And i get passed by about 5 riders pedaling significantly faster than myself. Now, i wouldn't take this so personally except they weren't the only ones to pass me by. It just kept happening! Which of course is why i take perverse pleasure in passing by the old people walking along the path. They can't keep up with me! woohoo!!
Now, just in case you are all getting the idea that i'm slow about everything, let me end that fear right hear. I talk fast, i drive fast, i read fast, and i listen fast. So there. i know what you all thought i was going to write. But this is a CLEAN blog. we're not going there.
