Nor let the Peacock Go Quietly into the Night

Let the real words flow. Flow until you die.

Or at least until you quit your job...

Nor let the Peacock Wander

Here I write the words that tell the life of Jackson F. Blancett, from the events that happened to the ones that could'v

How does one escape the everyday normalities? I want to be able to tell stories that will leave your breathless.

Waking up has never been the most exciting part of anyone's day. What happens after... now that a different story. What happened to me? I fell off a bridge.

I was sitting on my couch, catching up with some of my fav shows, when I noticed that the place where my bike usually sits was vacant. Bike = stolen. I took to the streets searching for my only form of transportation. 

If anything can be said about my character it is that I don't give up. I want my bike. I went looking for my bike. I found a long fall and well... my bike

Before last years fall semester at school began I bought myself a Diamondback bicycle. I wish I could say that I went on daily rides through the hills of Knoxville, but I never once rode the bike. Now I live in need of one. 

I found the man who stole my bike. He was riding it a little up the street from where I reside. I watched and studied the man. A man like any other. A man all the same. A man with my bike. 


I waited for him to make one mistake and then I pounced. The man left the bike by a gas station as he went in, silly man. Whilst riding away I noticed that he had given chase.  It was on! 


The man was faster than I anticipated. As I crossed the bridge, near my house, I was more concentrated on the thief than the oncoming traffic. A mistake that will not soon be forgotten. The fall was sudden. While falling I couldn't stop thinking that maybe I just stole back the wrong bike.


Needless to say... I still need a bike.
