Personal Narrative: Passing At The Lido

Improved Essays
Well, I went to Sick Boss at the Lido. I first passed Chris 's place, and detected some light, very faint, and, anyway, I have no way of knowing if he indeed still resides there. I know that if he sighted me his conspiratorial mind would immediately jump to extreme ideas. But this only dilutes my message and intention with negativity; the reason I passed it is because I am interested in him, and hope he is well. Passing Chris 's necessarily means I overshot the Lido, consequently my arrival at the Lido came from the side I otherwise would not have come from.

This turns into a full conversation, lasting pretty much my entire visit, about philosophy, epistemology, nature of reality, solipsism, physics, time, aesthetics, our struggles, western lit, etc. I should mention that this person was the same curly-haired fellow who I had passed earlier. I might add now that upon passing him the first time the reason I thought I recognized him was because previously this evening, at the hostel, I thought I had seen him check-in.

He was meant to leave this evening, but this he only became aware of too late, and therefore he managed to find a hostel to stay at. So, he is indeed staying at the hostel. Funny, isn 't it. (I was just interrupted (not in a negative sense) writing this by a guy named chicken bones (I feel like it 's probably spelled with a z). I was sitting on a bench here in dude chilling, and he asks if he can sit on the bench. He asks if I read the paper, and hands me one. Said he read the paper in prison, because if you don 't use it, you lose

    Have you ever encountered an absolutely gorgeous, charismatic hunk-of-man who, upon meeting him for the first time, had you convinced every move you'd made in your life, up to that point, led you directly to him? Did you feel strangely alive at the time; nevertheless fearing you might die because you suddenly forgot how to inhale, becoming light-headed due to a lack of oxygen? Initially, you probably fell into a state of panic as your eyes grew wide and your heart pounded painfully in your chest, but just in the knick of time you suddenly remembered you could breathe all on your own. In the days that followed, did you diligently fill every waking moment of your day with thoughts of him, reliving every second of the magic, never wanting to…

    The thing about running is that you hate it until it’s over, at least for me that’s true. Personally, I like running, and it gives me a chance to get out and work towards something. All throughout high school, I’ve run track, and for two years I ran cross-country, both are great sports. The two years I ran cross-country made me wish I ran all four years. If you’re part of more than one sport, it’s natural to choose a favorite.…

    The Plane Ride When I was nine my family started a move from the tranquil suburbs of San Jose, California to the desert city of Windhoek, Namibia, located in southern Africa. My parents were taking myself, along with my younger sister and brother, around the globe because they felt a calling from God to be missionaries.

These suitcases are what we carried to the airport as we prepared for our journey. I felt no small amount of apprehension and excitement in what lay ahead of me in the new country, but an event I would experience in the coming flight would forever change and shape my perspective of how I see the…
