G-force I beseech you to let me escape Earth
Returning is no longer an option for me
Every cell of my being weeps over my birth
Earth was never my suitable place to be free
Karma is a conception I never embraced
...
Instead preferring to behave predetermined
Negating every other option I erased
Several half-witted pathways undetermined
Please Zeus show me the way to her place in the sky
I always felt that Athena was the true one
Reverberating in my mind and heart to lie
At her feet with the hope that her heart I have won
Ten years of my life I will gladly sacrifice
Intending to become whatever she deems right
O Athena you are my only paradise
Nestling against your breasts in everlasting flight

Not alone on the trail
My buddies and I were looking for a trail in a local canyon. We noticed the north facing side was covered in snow while the south facing side was dry. The problem was the south side was private roads filled with vacation homes. These were not regular cabins, they had crazy architecture and villainous style. They were all empty except one friendly old man who waved from his third story deck. Figuring nobody was really around, we decided to hike there briefly. The trail apps didn't show any trails but we found one avoiding people's yards. After a few minutes we had a nice view of the neighborhood below, with just mountain for hundreds of miles.
