The Simple things in life...

I, Nate Palmer, once again succumb to peer pressure and create a blog. I'm hoping that my college education will have better prepared me for this kind of responsiblity.

anyways.
At my work, we recieve large trucks with many boxes on them filled with marvelous suprises and treasures. After we empty these boxes of the aforementioned treasures, the boxes are cast aside like so much garbage. Now, it is my responsiblity to see to it that the boxes are broken down and thrown away.
However, on one such truck day, the amount of boxes that we had was almost inconcievable. As we began to stack them higher and higher on the side of our building, it seemed that the pile would touch the sky. Or at least, be like 15 feet tall....
At the end of the day though, with the boxes still sitting outside, I decide to fufill a childhood dream (not really) by jumping off the roof onto this large pile of cardboard.
So, I climb up a chainlink fence that protects the fire alarm system. This chainlink fence is a problem though, because even though it would enable me to get on the roof, its design is such that I have almost no chance of getting down the same way. Thats why the boxes are such an excellant source of comfort to me. Because that way, I'll be able to get up onto the roof, and then get down off it.
As I look down from the roof of Paddock pools, I am begining to feel the pangs of skepticism permeate my once rock solid desire to hurl myself from the roof onto a pile of boxes.
Dont get me wrong. There is an unbeleiveable stack of boxes. More then I have ever seen before. However, the roof is also a lot higher up then one would think at first.
To make a long story still decently long, I "cross the Rubicon" and jump off the roof.
Quite literally, the most frightening thing i have ever done before.
Nevertheless, I live, but I have many bruises and cuts to show for it.
