fat dogs and gloomy clouds

Slept in way too late this morning. I hate how I always allow myself to sleep late whenever I can. It doesn’t matter that most of the summer I’ve been getting up at the butt crack of dawn, whether or not it be for school or for work. I still stay up late and wake up late whenever I get the chance. I’ve been trying to program myself into being a morning person forever now, but with no success. Oh well, I am forever doomed to be a night hawk I guess.

I think I slept a little later than I had planned cause my dog woke me up at 6am to take him out. (I had been up till one the night before…watching V for Vendetta and the first ever recorded image of a live giant squid…on the Discovery Channel. Those things are scary as shit.) He and my brother both stayed over last night because my dad is in Michigan with his girlfriend and her family. I love having Max around. (David ain’t so bad either). He makes me smile a lot more than I do when he isn’t around. I can’t help but melt a little whenever I look at his grayed puppy face. He turned ten last month, and it amazes me that he’s still doing so well. A little chubby…ok a lotta chubby, but he’s still Max.

I really spent the majority of the day being lazy. Its my one day off a week right now, so it seems I like to spend it being unproductive. I did spend some time shopping for a new journal online, but to no prevail. The only one I found that I like was a soft bound leather one; just about perfect except for the fact that it cost about $60. A little out of the budget, I’d say. I do have a birthday coming up… maybe the kin folk wouldn’t mind helping me out with that one. I need to find a new journal soon, cause the one I have has one page left in it, and that isn’t gonna work for too long. I have a feeling I’ll be on here a lot more.

I’m going to Oregano’s with Daniel tonight. Haven’t seen him in a while so it should be a lot of fun. Doesn’t hurt that I’m gonna get to eat a Pizookie as well. J

About two days ago I was walking up the stairs to my apartment and I looked at the sun. There was this large cloud, gloomy looking cloud right in front of it. It wasn’t a particularly intimidating cloud, but it did stand alone, and the fact that it was right in front of the sun allowed these light rays to come sparking out from behind it. I found myself just standing there staring at it for the longest time. It reminded me of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. I rarely make Winnie the Pooh references, and I’m not really sure why that’s the first thing I thought of. Grey and alone, always with the sun to his back. And yet I found it beautiful. I ended up taking a picture of it, because I wanted to remember it.

Enjoy.
