Fast Food Jogging

I want to be someone who runs in the morning. I can imagine it. In the rain and fog of Humboldt County, my panting breath clouding the air.
In general I am someone who likes the idea of things better than the thing itself. Like being in Jazz Improvization for example. I like the idea of being the kind of person who takes a jazz class, but the reality is I fucking hate it. Every minute I sit there is torture.
Or Morocco and learning Arabic. I want to be someone who speaks Arabic and lives in Morocco drinking strong coffee, but I am not really willing to take the steps to get me there.
In general, this is a montage culture. We want a fast-forward reality, and we can skip the boring shit.

I started running and it's freakin' great. Better at the end of the day when you need to forget all the shit of the day, like an evening cocktail except healthy.
