an old entry i forgot to post 2 months ago
The other day I went our for a cigarette, and there was no weather. No breeze, and no sunshine. Just limbo, but in technicolor. The wasn't even any fresh air. Not that the air was stagnant or polluted, it was just air. Nothing fresh about it. In that one area of the driveway infront of my parent's house, it was as if everything was frozen, locked in a moment where nothing existed but the very space my body was occupying.
as I stood in that spot, confused and somewhat anxious about this apparent void of all weather I began to scan the horizon for any sign that weather existed elsewhere. In the distance I saw a tall pine sway only slightly. I moved 3 steps forward from where I stood and suddenly felt the sun on my back. 3 steps back, nothing. 3 more steps back and a cool breeze. 3 steps forward, nothing once again. No weather.
I would like to emphasize at this point that in this no weather zone, I have never felt so content with a temperature. When you think about every moment in your life, you are always either a little warm or a little chilly. There is never a perfect climate. As I stood thinking about this complete absence of weather, there no warmth as the was no chill. To further test this abnormality, I removed my blazer, under which I was wearing only a t-shirt. Remarkably (though predictably, given the tone of this entry) my body temperature had no noticeable fluxuation. With or without the blazer, I felt exactly the same.
after about 5 minutes of standing there, nearly done my cigarette, a breeze swept through my personal limbo. As if someone had abruptly turned the weather back on. I finished my cigarette and walked down the driveway to throw my butt into the street. The sun shone down hard on my back making my lazer an uncomfortably warm accessory. I removed in and walked back up the driveway towards the door. Halfway there a cold breeze hit my bare arms giving me a sudden rush of goosebumps. I made my way back inside and I just now realized that after the incident I didn't leave my house for the rest of that day.
