I sweet-talked my way out of having to go skating with the family today. The catch was that I had to go on a walk. Not a big deal, but I turned it into one.
I used to love walking up the hill, listening to my music on my tiny 2gb iPod, just watching the world slowly go by as music filled my ears and I stood on the cliff at the top. But me, being a genius decided to take that path to go meet up with Angus every time we went on a walk.
I had to go on a walk, so I decided to stop being a weenie and to just go up the hill again. I was wearing my trusty red sweatshirt, my trusty Santa hat, carrying my trusty iPod. It was playing Eric Carr's Eyes Of Love. (RIP Eric.) There was a slight breeze as I started the trek up, a spring in my step as I sang along to the music. The song finished, then I switched to The Doors' Wintertime Love. I was about halfway up the hill by then, so I switched it to Stairway To Heaven. (I will FIGHT whoever trash-talks Stairway. I have tons of pent-up rage; come at me, bro.)
I know the format of Stairway very well. I also know how to use it to make maximum emotions. I slowly walked up to my favorite spot, getting there as soon as "when I look to the west" verse started. I stayed there until the tempo switch, at which time I started making my way back home. When the solo hit, I started running like a ninja, no slowing down or breathing heavier until the solo style switched. During the final half of the solo, and the last verse, I slowed to almost not moving. There was one more song I had to go through before I got home: Can You Feel It by Eric Carr. I love spinning around as I walk during specific parts of the chorus of that song. It ended as soon as I walked in the door.
And that, my friends, is how you walk a Kat.
(Puns!)
