The taste of blood



It is said that the taste of blood is irresistible to vampires. Goodness, the thought of Edward and Bella just went through my head! Not a good thing. Why could it not have been Blade! Now I feel like less of a man. Sad. Anyway, that very weakness is what makes them what they are. They need blood to live. And seem to stop at nothing to get it. Well friends and family, I must admit that I . . . have tasted blood. Yes . . . once again I have been allowed to ride my motorcycle. It has been many months, and perhaps I had forgotten the feeling or taste if you will, of being on a bike in great weather in southern Utah. Even so much that I have contemplated selling the bike. But alas, such a thought will not enter my brain again.  I have tasted the blood. I have ridden the bike. And it seems that it is something I need. Something that I will not be able to live without. Right now, my bike is hurting. One of the gears is partly broken.  To fix it would cost $600.00. Outrageous! But . . . is it not worth it? Is it not like water is to man? or Cocaine to the addict? It seems like a no brainer to me. But, I have never been one to give into weaknesses or thirst. But, is the thirst too strong?

hahaha.... Jason you are a pretty dang good writer. I was just gonna skim over your posts to see what you wrote, but I couldn't help but read every word. That's a talent - for sure. Remember on your last post how fast accidents can happen... you be safe on that thing!
