Attack of "Le Bug"

Wednesday July, 14, 2010

So, last night I figured I'd get a really good night of sleep, being that I will be hitting the track for a noontime practice, "Le Bug" had other plans. I come into my room and I'm greeted by this huge bug. The first thing that comes to my mind is Darwin, "Survival of the Fittest" echoed through my mind. If thought, "It's only a bug, you kill it and you get to go to sleep.

So I proceed my siege of this creature that was keeping me from my comfie bed. I swat at it, I chase it but somehow it must have mastered the ways of ninja stealth. Maybe it was watching movies with me these past two months. No matter it learned I had to destroy it or woo it to another room that wasn't my own.

In my delirium, mental and physical exhaustion I retired to my bed. I decided to wait for it to make its move. I cut the lights off and waited. After 20 minutes of waiting or so, I heard it. Well I heard some sort of flapping. I look up and it was crawling on my ceiling. Now I'm thinking, "How did it get from the floor to the ceiling that fast."

In any case I sought to destroy this enemy of mine. I grab my weapon on choice, a box of mini blinds, figuring I could kill it with one swipe. I landed a glancing blow and it survived! Perplexed and confused I made my next attack more calculated. But this time it sensed it was in real danger and scurried on the ceiling with incredible speed. I hit swiped it again and it sprouted wings and flew. This is when I realized that this was no normal bug.

Now I'm kinda of scared, I hit "Le Bug" twice with everything I had and it wasn't fazed. It mocked me by flying. After an hour of searching for it again, with not results I immediately I packed my laptop, phone, pillows and comforter up and sleep downstairs on the couch.

So after a night of laying on the couch, I realized that I should never be defeated by anything, no matter how large or small it is. I once read a quote that said, "Never ask God to give you a lighter load, ask Him for a stronger back." Well God I am asking you for just that.
