My brain is scrambled ..

Like those white and yellow things in a shell ..

Oh yeah…, eggs

Gotta break a few.

Too runny … not funny… Maybe sunny

Sunny side up .. Guess that means getting up with the chickens ..

Wait … I need a … what’s that word? … Coherent …. Thought

Coherent? Does that mean we herent together… as a team?

What’s a “herent” anyway?

There’s inherent ..

where’s herent located? Is it in the states?

And if I’m in herent, where’s out herent?

Judging by the dirt and tree roots digging in my face I’m out-herent the woods some dang where.

Tree root? … Yeah… what’s that noise?

Chittering? Scurrying…

OUCH! Is that an acorn?

Damn! Acorns to the eyes do not feel good…

Eyes? Are those eyes?

HEY! That squirrel just peed on me!

Hmmm… Guess that was a coherent thought…

Damn my head hurts…

Uhhhnnnnn …. Ow!

Speaking of eggs… I think there’s a goose egg on my forehead..

Four heads … three heads … two heads … Better than one …

Crap! There I go again..

Aaaaaccchhhhoooooooo!

Pffffftttt….. That dirt tastes like squirrel piss …

Gotta get up…

Damn my knee looks like grated cheese with ketchup!

Think I’ll change my jogging route in the future.

Gotta go …
