Thomas Paine

So today I had one of the weirdest experiences of my life. We were running for captain's practice and suddenly Joe sprinted ahead and said as soon as you catch him you could stop running. I sprinted after him but he is faster then I am and I was barely keeping up. When he runs he wears his Marine issue camelback which has his last name Thomas on the back. I was staring at the Thomas and thinking how much I hated Joe right now as I ran after him. Then I began to think about how much pain I was in. Then somehow my mind connected the Thomas and the pain making it in to Thomas Paine. I hate him. So I ran faster, I caught Joe right away and I got to stop. So thank you Thomas Paine. I can't believe I would ever say that but Thomas Paine weirdly motivated me today.
