two guys, a girl, three bikes, an oversized globe, airplanes in the night sky, & *south*fla* on the brain

last night,

the boyf & i picked up Damian at

9:30pm

a did a little

night-bike-riding

i wore all black and no helmet.

stupid.

it. was. dark.

these are the boys taken with my camera's *twilight* setting

[i love light squiggles]

my *twilight* handlebars

**

at this point,

i was

wondering

where

we

were

going.
**

here.

[i had never seen it with the fountains on. a real treat.]

i wish you guys coulda felt

the warm nighttime breeze

blowing the

soft mist of the sprinklers

on our face as we rode around it.

yeah. i'm headed there.

it's official.

**

think it was on my brain much??
**

i took that pic of Tomas, above.

&

of Damian, below.

**

these next two

of me

were taken

with much more

staging,

by

*the boyf*::

*
[whoa...creepy zombie monkey on the right]

**

from Flushing Meadows Park,

we rode over the highway...

[mucho traffic]

...and found a bench over looking LaGuardia Airport

were we could take a break

and watch planes come in.

**
our view of the airport:

**

squiggly moon,

and

squiggly airplane:

...i could really use a wish right now

...oh, SuMMeR, i wish you would last forever.

*my first RUN ever*

i ran my first RUN ever on sunday.

here's the planner-collage i made

that was inspired by it:

*
*

i love reading about other people's successes and triumphs.

[DUH! I read blogs!]

it causes me to be

more motivated to reach my goals,

more optimistic in my attitude,

and therefore more likely to succeed myself.

here are pics i took from my Blackberry while

on the run/walk

over the

BrOOkLyn BRiDGe

& back:

#718

the fountain in

City Hall Park

where i

stretched out

my quads & hamstrings.

*

i spotted the

'KEEN' sisters

in the crowd
*

a helicopter

circled above us,

checkin' out the scene
*

"follow the sound of the bagpipes,"

the announcer guy told us.

*

over

the BrOOkLyn BRiDGe

*

5K runnin' feet

*

look up & forward,

interchangeably.

*

boob shot!

i'm in full action-mode.

*

[don't know why this pic is distorted]

*

toward the end of the 3.1 miles,

the sky was clearing up,

and

boo ya!

skyline
*

oh, yeah: and *this* guy woke me up on time, drove me to Brooklyn, waited the 32 minutes and 55 seconds it took me to run the 5K, greeted me with a hug and kiss at the finish, bought me an after-the-race orange juice, drove us back home, and then proceeded to help me get a BBQ together to entertain friends [pics of which will be coming tomorrow].

what a *great guy* excelling in his boyfriend duties.

keep up the good work, hombre!

***

sunday was truly a great day.

***

may your Tuesday today be a great day, too.

now...what's the next 5K i'm signin' up for...???...

"...wait a minute, Mr. Postman..."

the mailman

dropped the mail

off this morning

with the

local newspaper

and said,

"i brought this over 'cause i saw you on the front page"

hilarious.
[it's a pretty bad pic of me.
i look like an albino seal.]
*
WHATEVER!
my homegirls
all look cute.
*
they really are sweet girls to work with
[thank you, GOD, they're not bitches!]

here is
the full story
attached to the pictures above.

**
*my bitt*
is also
floating around
on the Internet
in
this blog post.
**
**
just hilarious.
*
*
*
*
okay,
happy saturday.
*
i'm working
ANOTHER
night shift
tonight.
*
...and running my
first
5K
tomorrow
*
we'll see how that goes.

"...until it ends there is no end..."

that

was

my

sentiment

exactly

during our

first night shift

open to the public

at the restaurant

yesterday.

*

*

it was like there was no end,

until it ended.

*

*

[i also heard this song by the great Cyndi yesterday,

and woke up with it in my head]

*

*

it's worth a listen:

all through the night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
all through the night
this precious time when time is new,
oh all through the night today
knowing we feel the same without saying

we have no past we won't reach back
keep with me forward all through the night
and once we start the meter clicks
and it goes running all through the night
until it ends there is no end

all through the night
stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
all through the night
they have forgotten what by day they lack
oh under those white street lamps
there is a chance they may see

we have no past we won't reach back
keep with me forward all through the night
and once we start the meter clicks
and it goes running all through the night
until it ends there is no end

oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
let me be there let me stay there a while

we have no past we won't reach back
keep with me forward all through the night
and once we start the meter clicks
and it goes running all through the night
until it ends there is no end
keep with me forward all through the night
and once we start the meter clicks
and it goes running all through the night
until it ends there is no end
