I'm a bad, bad boy...

So, the stress of the last few months caught up with me. With my job hunt and other things that have popped up I just... I reached a low. So, I started smoking again. BUT, the thing is, now I feel lower. SO, the goal is to fix it. I am now, once again, going to quit. It's only been a week since I started again. It shouldn't be that hard. So, now the cigarrettes go into the garbage and I get back on track. One of the things I have also decided to do is get off my fat ass and return to my bike and do my 13 miles, 5 times a week. I will build up to that 13 miles, for sure. I just can't go out and ride and expect me not to die. AND, I can't do that while smoking and I can't do that if I sit on my ass. So, I, Joe, rain or shine, on Wednesday will go for my first ride (I need a day to get the smoke out of my lungs). It is time to bring Joe back to life.

"Coming Back To Life"
(Pink Floyd)

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight..into the shining sun

Now, I am going to do my homework like a good, good boy... Over there, on the couch, with a cat. She meowed at me. Meow.

P.S., There is no hidden meaning in my lyric selection. I am not saying anything other then, I like the idea behind it. A person, such as myself, though in darkness, never lost sight of the sun. And, it's time to put things behind and... well, move forward.
