Sublime Day

I really cant think of any sublime days in my adulthood but i do have one when i was a child.

     So my mom and dad took us out for a camping trip, and i was about 8 years old; on the last day i was exploring the woods and my entire family left me but obviously i didnt know that so i was still exploring. Well it was the second day that i was alone and out by myself exploring and i was fine, loving the trees, eating huckleberry's that i found, and just having a blast when i saw a wolf cub approach me. i just sat there while he sat 2 ft away from me messing around and he started howling and i thought well thats cute and i got up to explore again, i was also really hungry. That night i was found by the search party that my mom got together and i told them what happend with the cub; they were shocked and suprised about what they heard and they were all glad that i didnt touch the cub. but i really didnt care i was just exploring... those two days were sublime.

3 clues of something mythological

1) yesterday i was walking outside along the creek just heading back to the dorm when i looked over and i saw this little boy stareing into the water of the creek. this boy was so fascinated with his reflection that when his mom tried to tell him it was time to go he threw a really huge fit which was entertaining but during that moment of him stareing at his reflection i thought about Narcissus & Echo, and how he was just wowed by his own reflection.

2) I thought it was pretty cool when my mom sent me a text of the next clue. She sent me a pic message of a Guy makeing "love" with a tree it was really funny but so wrong if i told you what it said, anyway i just thought of all the guys that fell in love with a girl that transformed into a tree because they didnt want to be with them like Pan and Apollo. really funny :).

3) So this last clue happend today when i was with a friend throughout the time we hung out 5 times in five different places we heard Achilles Last Stand by Led Zepplin. I can't tell if this is supposed to be a reference to Greek mythology or another analogy of the band as warriors, like Immigrant Song. There is more than one reference to Greek myth (Achilles, Atlas, the beginning lyrics that somewhat correspond to events in the Iliad, and the 'wondering and wandering' part that could be about the Odyssey) but maybe it just got its title from Robert's foot.

Then i lost 5 dollars that i had left so now i wasnt able to go eat before i went to bed. this day sucked.... i wish i could forget.
