randomness at its finest

This past week has been quite a random one for me. There is no particular reason why. Since I have been asked to post something I thought it best to add a disclaimer of sorts at the beginning. So be warned, don’t expect any stream of thought to last more than twelve seconds. Now without further adieu…

Thoughts are strange creatures. Much akin to the fireflies that flicker just long enough to make their presence known. Then they vanish into the sticky darkness of a mid July evening. Their momentary illumination devoured by impending darkness. Hopefully they will come out to play again soon. Perhaps next time I’ll catch them in that empty butter tub mother gave me…

Just walking about campus you can tell that spring has fully set in. It’s not so much in the blooming of sleepy buds or chirping of hungry robins, rather it is the slapping of flip-flops against well-lotioned heels, the clinking of ice in sweaty Styrofoam cups, and a thousand other things that had once vanished between winter’s folded hands filling the eyes and ears of the lengthening day.

Since it is quite late the rest shall have to wait until next time. So...to be continued...
