Well the mini heatwave is over for a day, at least. Right now it is 22 without any humidity. The thunderstorms last night seemed to have cleared out everything.
I feel a little out of sorts today like I am missing a molecule. I was supposed to do something that I have been putting off for a while but didn't do it. Forever the procrastinator.
Last night was a friend's birthday, there was a little gathering involving pizza, cake and ice cream, so delicious. I also got to show my inferior bowling Wii skills and inferior than superior than inferior Wii tennis skills. Fun though.

I am not sure about that but wouldn't want to doubt Mr. Cobain.
I picked up a new book called Snow by Orhan Pamuk, a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Hopefully it will be good.
I wrote the following yesterday, nothing much to say about it.
We Are All Trying To Be Strong
I am done reading another novel
Before a summer like thunderstorm
June has decided to act like July
We are all trying to be someone else
Forgetting old habits, friends and memories
Shared triumphs, defeats and climaxes
Pleasure used to be a treasure pursued
Now it is anything without pain
The day rose before I opened my eyes
Heat is easily trapped in skin and bone
We are all burning or have been burnt
Love does not feel like it should
I cannot touch its face anymore
Time has elapsed, disappeared and laughed
While you moved, erased and smiled
A thousand jokes or more were shared
How quickly we forget their punch lines
Knocked out, left behind and whispered about
I am the breeze whenever it is calm
You cannot touch, remember or see me
There are worse things or people to be
When mulling over the possibilities
A sky thinking about rain but shining
Contrasts exist everywhere there is sight
One eyes sees one thing and the other another
Golden apples growing among sour grapes
I am getting ready for the next story
After a summer like thunderstorm
June has decided to act tough
We are all trying to be strong
This is not always a kind world
Only we can choose kind words
When it comes time to remember
What used to bring us no pain
Now it is anything but pleasure.
