Friday night I was obliterated due to inconsideration of my alcohol intake. I drank at a bar then at a party. I did drink in moderation at the party, but that was after three drinks were already in me from the bar. I'm not used to the integration of the two.



Needless to say, I wasn't happy with myself nor my actions. I won't get into particulars, but me and Todd woke up in his car in a random driveway and all my knuckles were either bruised or, in one case, skinned down. My brother did show up to the party, I hadn't seen him in a while and it was pretty sweet.

I treated Shan's under aged ass to some beers at Kent's BW3's because I'm nice. We were meeting up with my brother to watch the Cleveland Browns game. We didn't see him much there though, and now he's back in California.

Today, however, was pretty damn sweet. Todd and I hit up this gorge in Akron, and the path along it. The wooded areas across the ravine were meshed with warm fall hues. The timbers clashed, but at the same time complimented, for not all the leaves were changed from green just yet. We made our way down slippery leaves and loose dirt to the water's edge to walk over jagged rock formations. The air was warm for November 14, it will probably be the last we will see of the sixty-degree range. I'm glad we spent it the way we did for sure. We skipped our work out but all the work from climbing up and down the steep dirt and root staircases was a bit of exercise.

Lately I've been trying to change something that's unconsciously been on my mind damn near forever. I'm trying to avert my thoughts of self-insufficiency in some situations; the thoughts that make me feel as though I solely have work to do to get something, or to keep something, intact. I'm hoping I can't force myself to charismatically demand collective effort from all parties in situations that make me feel as such.

Party on.
