Is Summer-Time Mystical To You?

[Frackal]

It is to me....for example when I reflect on my life, it seems I can categorize my life into 'eras' or periods....each of the past few springs I have begun a journey that has caused me to grow in numerous ways...for example, last spring, I began my first cycle, I had waited so long to grow again, it's purpose was to simultaneously help expediate healing of my back and gain the mass I had and more...this was also the same time that I met and fell for Kart.

Though this sounds body-dysmorphic-ish, I will say it anyway....becaues I had dropped almost 20lbs of muscle because of my injury, I wore a jacket as much as possible, even to the gym.

One day that spring, armed with my new training journal, re-discovered Mobb Deep CD, and a lot of hope and desire, I set off to the gym for the first time in over 6, 7 months wearing a t-shirt and nike pants...from that day on I continued to grow, each and everyday I devoted to my training, and grow I did, slowly, began shoulder pressing 50lb dumbells...soon the 60's...eventually 70's....I spent much time 'with' Kris, though our relationship was different, no one who knows us could deny that we both, yes BOTH of us fell deep and hard for one another....this era in my life peaked when I spent 10 Days in Florida from July 14th-24th....that was also when my cylce ended....

If this post garners interest I will share similar portions of my life like this.....

For me, it seems that since I left a life of shit in 10th grade, I have been primarily alone and not constantly surrounded by the noise of too many friends....this has allowed me an incredibly valuable period of self reflection and personal growth, to use 2 modern cliches.....

I am looking forward to this spring.

I'm always happy around summer time, who isnt? At least around here with four seasons....I hate the cold....I love the beach, so yeah summer memories are always happy ones....and of course it doesn't hurt that I'm always in my best shape during this time

I would also like to add that is now, sitting at my favorite time of the 'day,' smelling the nighttime coolness seeping through my window above, listening to WuTang Forever Disc 2, dreaming of possiblilites of the future, that I thank God for existence and the freedom to pursue what I pursue.

Long time bro, I have to agree with you. Though for me, the blocks are much bigger.....like blocs of years....or sometimes just a few months. Depending on what it is. It's different for relationships, career, training, enertainment. Like my catering biz is booming now.......and it's looking like the timing is right for my life to change again. If I was bored, or somewhat disinterested, or stagnant, that's out the window now. A whole crop of challenges are in my lap. Let the new games begin.

Taking walks in the park at night and sitting on the swings with the warm air hitting your face, while you look up at the stars....ahhhh

Having a cigarette outside at 3 am with friends sitting on a sidewalk not wanting to go home... that's life.

having friends over

Yes, I really love this time of year too. I have this nice big deck built out over the back yard, and I am getting it all setup for the summer. I might screen the whole thing in, so we can be outside even when the bugs get bad. I have a really nice BBQ out there, and the whole setup is like my little heaven. Grilling out, drinking beers with friends, and my little daughter and her friends running around and being silly. I feel so safe and happy when all this comes together.
