Physical Displacement

Last night I went to the store to buy things including a folder for my visa petition application. Along the journey I witnessed something that I had never seen before and was delighted to happen upon. Bicycle polo.

At first I didn't understand. Why were the bicycles riding around in circles on the tennis court?Why the tricked out wheels?Then, I saw the mallets and got scared. Deadly bicycle gang training ritual? Stuck at a red light, I had the time to ogle some more and see the elusive polo ball that was stirring these bicycles up in a frenzy.

Fascination.

Today I wore jeans. What a terrible idea. It's way too hot for that.

After returning some L-braces to Home Depot, I went to Bayou Bicycles with my newly returned three dollars. I need some bicycle lights. Relying on my natural night vision has been my technique of late, but it's wearing itself thin. There were no lights that I needed so I showed the bicycle machine my gear shifter/derailer cable that needs fixing and he said I need new casing. I say yes this sounds like a fun idea.

I get cable housing and then realize it's probably something I have to buy. For about two minutes I forgot about buying/selling of goods. Freecycle might be altering my brain patterns for exchanging goods. Next step, to the counter of purchasing I go. I tell man I have three dollars, so let's make a deal. He no respond. I'm hoping real hard and sending out a barrage of mind-bullets. Total $3 with tax.

end of the storey story storey is that mind bullets are appropriate ammunition when you have small money parts in your pocket and you have lots of time to concentrate yourself.

I have a problem: I keep being tired all the time.
You: tell me the solution and/or cause of sed problem.

I would go for the warmth and humidity as per the root causes of yer tiredness. I think you're still a bit young to have hormonal issues... Just my thoughts...

That bicycle polo thing seems to be very interesting. I mean, you kind of need balance, stamina, accuracy and stuff. I would like to try it. But I wouldn't do that on a hard surface tennis court, but on something less "harmful" for when you fall. I imagine this happens quite a lots. Tennis courts aren't very big, people must run into each other on bikes and fall all over the place when "competing". I got a question: what type of bikes they were riding? Like BMX style, or cross country?

And: who's speaking this marvelous franglais? I mean the maitrise of the langue is quite bonne!

I might have a thyroid problem. I'll wait until my breathing get's harder to go see your doctor.

J'adore the franglais that you can parle. It is tres good for a debutante.

Bicycle polo. it was scary like how when birds fly in circles in the sky, it is scary.

I am hormonal.

you should have stopped and befriended those bicycle polo-ers. If I played I would get quite injured I bet.

I agree with the warmth and humidity=tired. I turned on my AC yesterday and suddenly became more energique.
