I have felt. . . THE OUTSIDE

Ok, don't get the wrong impression, I do go outside, I'm not a pale white from lack of sunlight, the outside I'm talking about is when you want to be outside, its not a boring or sweaty chore, not forced upon you to get you some exercise, but an escape from the utilitarian, electronic clutter of the household.

It all started a little after supper, I went outside to empty the compost and found my cat, Bruce, sitting on the fence looking at me. I pet him a little bit, then picked him up and brought him inside. I went upstairs and back to my room to browse here(CPA) for a little while then went into the hallway. Bruce was lying on the top stair, and I remembered a story my sister had told me about her housemates cat. It was so nice, patient and docile, that it would let you hold it in the air by the back legs and it would simply wait to be put down. I tried to see if Bruce would do this. The resulting scratches to my face were bright red within five minutes.

Bruce was now extremely pissy so I tried to be nice to him and pet him only to be nearly scratched again. Feeling guilty about the displeasure I cause to my pet, I figured the thing he wanted most was to simply go outside. so I opened the door to let him out and was greeted by a cool, night breeze. I can't find words to describe how it felt, not bad, not really good, but refreshing. so I ran barefoot on the grass and thought, this is the outside, the good outside, the unforced outside that one wants to be in.

When was the last time you went outside? Was it the outside that I mean, or just another trip to the gas station?

I usually go outside at night... during the day its a bit too warm and the sun is a scorcher.


Needless to say, I've got nice pasty skin and I like the cold. The kids in my new neighborhood here think I'm some wierd vampyre or something, and everyone else just believes I'm wierd. I like to keep it that way... I hope it snows 3 feet again like they said it did last year.

I guess I'm usually outside at night too. Not because the sun is a scorcher though. I guess I'm just asleep more during the day...

I just like the night in general. Its so calm and peaceful... and the daytime is too hard to resist sleeping in.

Its always fun to go outside to play paintball. You get a real thrill out of that! :D

Just did that today. Got a few bruises, sliced up my knee, and had a total blast. I even made a couple kills. :D :D :D

Both the "Outside" and "Sun" are bedtime stories told to frighten children into obedience. I've researched the validity of such grandiose claims using google, and all I came up with was horribly doctored photographs. Pfff, outside indeed...! :rolleyes:

My grandma helped in faking the whole moon walk thing. You know that famous photo of the "footprint on the moon"? Well, it was actually her but print after she sat down in the gray sand. Yeah, she's so fat and covered in skin-folds, she left a print that looked like a boot. Sick, ain't it? But true!

Why not just use an actual boot? Why go to the trouble of finding someone whose buttprint looked like a bootprint?

There must be some sort of explanation...

In my experience, things aren't that bad, but then, I'm a lowly peon who doesn't have to fill out paperwork or stuff so I don't really know... :)
