Well I shall begin this blog like any other one really I guess. This idea began this morning when I was walking around town in a state I will later describe, but basically I thought to myself I should do a blog as a piece of writing, so here goes I guess.
I had set my alarm for 7:10, but it turned out I didnt really need it, I woke up before its job had even started and so didnt get up to whatever song the radio was blaring at that time of the morning. For some reason I have often found that when I have to wake up in the morning I find it difficult to sleep the night before, but I could not think of a reason why I could not sleep last night. Usually this only happens when I have work the next day. I guess in my subconsious I dont want to over sleep, so I dont sleep well.
The reason I was getting up in the morning was because I wanted to go swimming, and the morning seemed like a good idea. Not too hot, and not too many people.
After probably 10 minutes attempting to do laps in the pool i re-realised something I have always known. Im not a swimmer. So after around half an hour in the water, with sore arms and chlorine filled eyes I decided it was time to get out.
I left the pool to place my swimming apparel in the car whilts I walked to the main street in search of food, and pineapple juice as the swimming had made me quite hungry and the chlorine wather I had consumed left an unwelcome taste in my mouth.
I had my heart set on eating at Subway for breakfast, as I had never been there for breakfast before. Subway however did not open for another 20 minutes, and so I walked off confident that 20 minutes wasnt that long to wait, and I would find something to occupy my time. I did find it odd however that they did not open till 9.00, but who was I to say when they should open.
First on my filling time agenda was to find a shop where I could get my Pineapple juice fix. I found a small shop in the sturt mall foor court, one of very few places that actually sell Pineapple juice around here. This is something else that has also puzzled me. Surely there are plenty more people out there who like Pineapple juice as much as me. Why is it that this particular beverage is often hard to come by?
As I then walked down the main street the suns light seemed to burn my eyes. This I believe had something to do with the fact they were sore from the chlorine, which affected my eyes. There was a brief moment when everything seemed so hayzy, and almost surreal. I tried to think of some fancy metaphore to decribe it, but the only way I can think of it is as if someone just took what I saw and added a diffuse glow. Strange I know. And as I walked along thinking these picular thoughts I was again reminded of my sore eyes. I couldnt see them of course, but I was asuming they where red. And so with my sore eyes and myself off in my own world looking at the "surreal" image i was describing earlier a thought poped into my head. For anyone passing me by, I might look like I was on drugs.
I got out of the light as I walked into the Market Place shopping centre. Everything was shut, except for the coffee club, and a few other food stores in the food court. Big W was open, but they are almost always open. I decided that if I was going to have breakfast in town I might as well pick up something to read. Maybe the newspaper. I walked into the newsagency to discover the Empire was out, so I purchased that. I also got a $2.00 scratchy, however I did not win anything to my disapointment.
I had about 5 minutes left to kill so I sat outside woolworths behind Fantasy doughnuts to flick through my newly purchased magazine. It was then I noticed I had a message from a friend of mine, Adam. I had sent him a text message earlier in reguards to one he had sent me the previous night. He was interested in some of the DVD sales going on in town this week and I believe had two particular movies that he wished to purchase in mind.
With two minutes left till subway opened I walked into Woolworths in search of more Pineapple juice. Woolworths provideds a number of juices as you would imagine for a large supermarket, however I was after cold pineapple juice, and not 3 litres of it.
After this minor disapointment I set of for Subway in hopes that by now it had opened its doors. Ordering a 6 inch role with bacon, egg, cheese and BBQ sause as well as a drink. Not Pineapple juice. I sat out the front with my fresh mad breakfast reading my Empire magazine. It was around 9.30 when I eventually left to track back to the car, my first non - lazy morning in forever. When I got home I discovered that my sister had virtually only just woken up. And so as I type my thoughts of this mornings events on this blog I feel I should state the obviouse... the day can be quite long when you get up in the morning.
I dont know how successful I was at writing a blog as apiece of litriture, but the beauty of this is I really dont have to care. I think I need more mornings like this morning, where I go out and do something. I guess the real irony though is that I havent done terrebly much the rest of today. Oh well.
