YOURE the GOD of this city...

you know those days where nothing seems to go as you planned?
where, as time goes by, you kind of watch the events unfold, wondering where they might be going?

well this happened to me today.
things were slow, changed, canceled, rearranged...
and i kept kind of wondering to myself how things were going to turn out.

and it all culminated with me watching a man steal my bike about 10 feet in front of my eyes.

it was frustrating.
my instinct was to run after him, so i did.
but lets be honest, a man on a bike vs. a girl on foot, the man on bike is ALWAYS going to win. although, it must have been a sight to see, especially with me yelling at the top of my lungs at him in ungrammatically correct Czech.

however, this event urged me to go for a run and get out my anger.
and on which i happened to 'run into' a friend that i haven't seen in a long time.
we had a nice chat.

then it started to sprinkle.

i caught a beautiful glimpse of the city, on the bridge over the Ostravice, with the lamps in the park, and everything damp from rain reflecting the light.

and i thought to myself, i REALLY do LOVE this city.
