Its raining fish....

I got up early, over my jet lag and feeling good - belly full of my aunts good cooking from the night before. brushed my teeth and started the day, i was excited about my AM run, it has been a while since i have been able to get up liesurely and enjoy a nice run in the morning. so i left nice and early, before it became too warm, at 7:15 - strapped on my running shoes put on my suunto and left. it was nice - the weather was pleasant, not too warm, a nice breeze blowing. i ran for about 30 minutes, my legs felt heavy due to the time between my last run and this one. but that is alright, i still ran for four miles and really had a good time. it was nice. it felt good to run and sweat out all my worries. so i finished my run, went and stretched out on a spot that was overlooking the sea. enjoying the cool breeze coming off the water, cooling me down from the run. i was watching the people walk by and enjoy their morning excercise, talking business and what they will be doing today. older women walked enjoying being out and social with their friends. what a great morning, tonight i leave for ujjain - the day was going to be good...i was walking out of the park, on my way home...smile on my face, ready to get the rest of the day going...

then i got hit by a fish.

yes, that is right, from above a dead fish came down and hit me - and kind of did the dead-fish-nasty -scale slide down my front and right onto my shorts. it took me by surprise, it was the LAST thing i was expecting to have happen. i mean, often times when a bird shares something with you, it is their poop - but not their meal. no bird came swooping down to grab it, it simply slid off me and onto the ground. i slightly lept back, not knowing what to think, looked up (hoping that there wasn't another one on its way) to see where it came from and there i saw him, the black ugly crow, with a big grin on his face, happy it hit me with the dead fish.

now is this a good omen or a bad? i don't know. but then again, i don't really believe in omens. but if i did, i must say, this couldn't have been a good one. haha! but yet, there you have it. what wierd thing has hit you from above? i mean i have been hit by acorns, bird poop, leaves, etc. - that is all fine and dandy, they come from trees (well not the bird poop, but usually from a bird sitting in the tree) - but not a dead fish. yeah, that is a first...i am sure wiered things have happened to other people, well that is a guarantee...but that is the wierdest thing to happen to me...

after that i looked around, and saw other dead fish on the ground - i came to realize that must be the place where they all get carried to and then dropped. making me feel better that maybe someone else has also been hit by a dead fish from above...i guess that is comforting? but still disgusting none the less...

so yeah, that is my wierd story of the day, i hope there are no others. i fly out this evening to ujjain to see my cousin-brother and do some work. super excited.

oh and my one warning is this, as you walk under palm trees, beware of the dropping dead fish...consider yourself warned.

till later....
