Crutches

Although it’s tiring as fuck to get anywhere with crutches, I’m trying to not let it inhibit my routine activities save for the obvious shit like rock climbing. I just got home from a fucking random ass trip to SD and honestly-as much I love talking to the friends that accompanied me and one particular friend I met there, it was the people of the city that were cool as fuck.

Wandering the campus and talking to strangers there was a little boring in the sense that these students don’t have much else to say aside from daily chit chat and classroom chatter. Further into the night we stopped by some park that overlooked a channel and a major part of the city that was beautiful and surprisingly bearable temperature wise. (I figured the crutches were keeping me warm). It was there where I saw two photographers at midnight, one with his kid and the other with his wife, discussing camera settings and techniques to capture the best quality of picture via interval shooting. It was just something about these 2 men that were indulging in their hobbies late into the night with their loved ones that warmed my heart. As we continued onto the pier, I met a couple that were fishing with a tent set up at the very edge of the pier. They were extremely friendly and were even willing to teach me how to fish had my ride decided to stay any longer.

I guess it’s just refreshing to see folk out there doing recreational things instead of seeing/hearing the ratchet ass clubs and booty grinding music. All in all, the heavy breathing and panting from the crutches was well worth my time today as opposed to sitting on my ass at home- rotting away in front of MTV. In 11 hours, I’ll be on my way to Joshua Tree to witness this year’s Lyrid Meteor shower/ camping there for the night with a few friends.

Getting excited for my travels.
