Shopping carts

I was getting shopping carts today and I thought of you.

I don't know why I'm working at Lowes (the home improvement store), I'm the first born son of a really rich family. I guess I work here because I want to prove to myself that I know what an honest days work is like. Plus it pays about $12 dollars an hour, so, the pay isn't bad for a college boy like me.

Anyway, I love it when they send me out to go get shopping carts. It's a great workout, pushing 14 stacked carts which together make up 80-90 pounds with about an inch turning space is quite a work out. Who needs a health spa when I can work out while getting paid at the same time?

Another reason why I love to get shopping carts is because it's great thinking time...it's good old quality alone time, something, I haven't had much of lately.

Anyway I was getting carts today and I thought of you. The air was full of the scent of summer and the temperture..oh...it just felt so good on my skin. I looked up at the starlit sky and then gazed enviously at the moon and for a moment I thought about you. I thought about how much you would enjoy this weather and the view of the universe.

I'm not really sure where I'm trying to go with this "prose" piece (more like jumbled thoughts) but this isn't some attempt to make you fall in love with me. And this isn't some lame attempt to score some "points" with you.

That's all.
