Never Give Up

Today, I'm under the gun. I find myself at the local library using their computer, which limits me to [at the beep] 27 minutes and 15 seconds. I havn't even thought about what I want to write about today. Chances are, you've never read this blog before, so, I would recommend that you skip this entry and start from the beginning, which would put you at this past Tuesday. I'm new to this. I've decided to let people know that I'm writing this blog and have made a blustery show of the announcement. If you are here because of the "BIG NEWS" announcements on Facebook, then let me apologize now. I wasn't sure how to invite my friends into my tiny universe without sounding like a leper begging for food, so, I used a little marketing strategy garnered from my girlfriend. I know that you, the reader, probably know who she is, but since I'm new to this whole game, I've decided not use anybody's real name except for my own - unless you piss me off, then, watch it.
... approximately 17 minutes left...
Anywho, I saw something today that left me feeling unexpectedly good. I was driving down a country road outside of Columbus and witnessed a David and Goliath battle-royal. This enormous sandhill crane was being flanked by what appeared, at first, to be a testosterone-fueled horsefly. Curious about this insect-on-aviary clash of the titans, I slowed my truck down a bit. However, upon closer inspection, I saw that the crane was in fact doing battle with a red-wing blackbird. [7 min.] What was most astounding though, was that the crane was actually in retreat from this most miniscule of pests. The freaking crane must have been 10-15 times the size of the blackbird and yet was doing a full-tilt, I'm f-ing outta here boogie. Strange, but sometimes you can learn a lesson from Ms. Mother Nature. It's like that frog/crane cartoon (crane? hmmm), the frog is in the crane's mouth but still has a hold of the crane's throat with the caption..."never give up."
time's up...gotta go...see you on Monday...
