Flying to the moon

Mat, Jesse, and I were looking at a tree
(This is something we try and do once a week.
We pick out one tree on campus and look at it)
and we noticed that the one we were looking at would be
excellent for a giant swing!
Our minds were racing to the thoughts of amazing times
we had had on that swing, memories that could never be forgotten
as we swung rapidly over the lake close by.
Then we remembered that none of that had actually happened...
So determined to make our dreams a reality we set out to Lowe's
where we purchased a circular piece of wood and a lot more rope than necessary.
After a good amount of time trying to drill holes through
we departed for our beloved tree.
But before we got there,

Mat's jeep exploded and flew into a gully.
Luckily we had our rope swing and we were able to
climb up the treacherous face of the cavern.

We had lost hope at one point but had remembered
our reason for setting out.
Our tree.



Our memories of that tree kept us going.
We so long for our dreams of swinging over the Leviathan
to come to fruition.

Gully: 01
Men of Passion: 06

When we made our way back to our tree
we figured that people would most likely
not like the location of our swing over the lake.
So we settle for one over a parking lot.

The quest to climb this tree was a difficult one.
Blood and tears were shed over the roots as we
reached for our dreams, branch by branch.
There's Mat's jeep.

Because of the amount of rope we had,
it was fairly difficult to tie off in a safe way.
So as we swung hundreds of feet over the malleable concrete
our lives depended on this one stick we found on a termite mound.

As we were ready to embark in the beauty of
our injudicious pie in the sky...

Security came and said
"Uh, yeah. There's no swinging on campus."
