Monday Buzz

I'm floating thru the day today, half asleep, half not totally here. Buoyed by the endorphins of four "harder, faster, deeper" races this weekend, and a healthy dose of Mazzy Star influenced music in my headphones. A lay day, the sun has just decided to wake up, but seems as hazy as me.

There is someone sitting nearby that apparently doesn't believe in deodorant. The scent of his body odor is somehow comforting. Like the scent of a hard day's work, or the aftermath of sex. The world is oddly unscented, falsely scented. A strong scent brings me back to the texture of the world. Sweat, cigars, cigarette smoke, diesel fumes, freshly cut grass, the sizzle of dust rising off a hot sidewalk when a summer storm comes through.
