ooooooooooooooo

whoooosh 

i feel the wind in my hair.

driving with the sunroof open.

i see desert all around.

waves of heat emanating from the hot asphalt. 

driving to fast.

all day long.

not thinking.

just driving.

until nightfall.

and still when the sun sets and all i see is an orange glow over the golden sand;

i drive.

the moon slowly rises.

and it illuminates the cacti and the sand dunes and everything all around me is bright.

it's cold. 

but it's fresh.

all i can hear is the roar of the engine and the soft swishing noise of the sand blowing around in the valleys.

and i feel the sides of my lips twist upwards into a grin.

as the adrenaline pumps and my foot presses down onto the gas pedal.

i'm alone.

i'm alone.

i'm alone.

and it feels so good.

as alone as it gets.

out in the middle of nowhere.

the rattlesnakes and scorpions the only beings keeping me company.

i look around.

total emptiness.

amazing.

i feel alive.

amazing.

real.

amazing.

i pull out my ipod.

i pull out speakers.

i plug it in.

select music.

select artists.

select kasabian.

select west ryder pauper lunatic asylum.

select fire.

slide finger to right.

more.

and more.

the sound bounces off the dunes.

the sound bounces off the deep cracks in the dried up ground.

the sound bounces off the mountains.

and whatever is around me.

and i smile.

and then nude comes on.

and it's the most beautiful thing i've ever heard.

and i just stand there.

completely alone.

and it's fucking amazing.

and then i blink.

and i'm back in the classroom.

staring out into the grey june not-quite-summer sky.

now that you found it, it's gone.

... i'm terribly sorry i have no pictures; my card reader thing is somewhere else.
