why do walks always have to be long?
okay, i read personal ads. the free ones on craigslist. i have several reasons: i think they are sad and pitiful and hilarious, and entertaining...occasionally i find some person who piques (yes, that is exactly how you spell piques) my interest. i've actually met in person a few of these people.
i guess that's not the point. there's something else: in personal ads people always say things like, "i enjoy cooking, eating, red wine (almost always red), reading novels, and LONG WALKS...hmmm, now is that really true? who the hell takes long walks? i kind of enjoy short walks. you know, around the block, or maybe seven blocks if i have to walk to work or something. hiking is different, i enjoy longish walks in the mountains, but come on, these people are talking about walking around their neighborhoods on concrete paths.
maybe the sidewalks will turn to cotton. maybe that cottonsong on my feet will give me a final levity. that's what i read instead. long walks? i enjoy naps. especially with company.
(to my blog readers, that rant was stupid and i'm sorry : )

whatever i liked it. it's true. people repeat what sounds right, what sounds nice, and long walks do. i like oat bars, which i wasn't aware of previously.

also, it just occurred to me that almost all walks just kind of seem long to people. they seem long to me, at least. I think because the repetition is meditative. people should talk about picking their noses, shouldn't they? but i suppose that people like that aren't in want of personals.
