The fact that I enjoy the fact that I don't enjoy swimming

"So when are you going to get rid of your face?"
--Michelle W.


It's true, and I'm bi-polar

This idea kind of developed last summer. Well, -ish. Next round I might quote said 3rd Moleskine about the whole ice-skating thing. But his here is how it goes now: I don't swim. Can, but would rather not. Not really good at it either. Not that I care any. It's been almost, if not already, three years since I've done any swimming. Just don't care to. And I'm really okay with that fact.

Several friends of mine [one in particular] will oft times go to some apartment complex [The Glenetentary to which Matt is moving to, dork] and hit up the pool up there. They play a game that involves throwing a ball around and bullying each other up. A very active piece of work if you enjoy doing such things in water. I am clearly a land animal.

Now, that "one in particular" friend goes along to said water activities almost always. She can be convinced not to, but right now that doesn't fly with me. I let her go. This allows me to give me some time away from the situation. A situation that I haven't deemed good or bad yet. But it's a situation nonetheless. Quite. Time away from the situation allows me to invest my thoughts on other moot points.

This situation could go in several of two or three directions in one very large recipe. This is where I'm bi-polar. I am sometimes really okay with the idea of the situation. For certain reasons I could go along. For other reasons I could certainly back away. Flippin' told me about "MF". And my thought process is now something else. I'm trying to look at things other peoples point of view, my point of view, considering if I smoke drugs and whatnot. Then there's that thing called a conscious. We also have the tattered remnants of my soul. It's in much better condition that what it used to be. I consider a lot of things. My soul, other peoples' souls, socialism [the interactions of people in a social setting]. whether or not I want to be said "MF". I think I need to worry about other things first. However I am still curious about certain elements with people I know. Eh... In the end all will be well. Be good!
