i'm about to go buildering. twenty minutes from now i will be in downtown altoona walking around with a large square pad on my back (kind of like a black maxi) looking for buildings that scream, "ascend me... ascend me all night long". i will bleed. i will fall. i will get frustrated and kick solid brick walls. i will most likely be scolded by the police, possibly even arrested. i will walk home at about 2 in the morning covered with chalk, blood, sweat, and dirt. and it will be awesome.
not quite as awesome as real rock climbing, but this is what it's come to. i never realized how much i relied on the outdoors to keep me sane until i moved into a city and stopped hugging trees (instead, i now sit on my porch and scold the jr. high kids on the street for not having jobs). i feel like one of those tigers they steal from the wild for the zoo. "sorry we kidnapped you from that lush green forest that was full of food and chicks and unsuspecting villagers. here's a fake tree and a bathtub, though. enjoy." this is what buildering feels like.
for now, i'll make the most out of that hamster wheel.
