I need to sit down and talk to my mom about the course of my life as it stands. I have recently made some changes, and she was always first to know when I did things like this. However, when I made all these recent changes, I held back due to circumstances that were happening at the time. Now, she feels like she has been left out cause of my decision, and I don't want her to feel like that. She is the one person in my life who has always been there for me. I know she will understand things once we talk, but I have wanted to talk to her face to face.

I do miss the California weather. It is so humid here in Florida, and while I love being here, the humidity sucks. I went to California for the first time last year and the weather there just blew me away. It was freaking great!



I can understand the mom thing. My oldest son kinda left me out of stuff for a bit as he was spreading his wings (21) and it kinda sucked.

Ya .. we moms are like that .. explain and she'll be right there as always.

Love life still good handsome?


It sure is Fade. We had our first disagreement the other day...and it was kind of refreshing.laugh I mean, relationships take work and all, and that moment just reminded me of that. But it is just weird how small stuff can turn into a disagreement. Always silly crap like that that we allow to become so major. Then, when it is over, you sit back and laugh about it. Oh well.....that's just the way it is.



or you think .. what in the world was that argument about anyway?

but make up sex is always a great payback bigsmile

Well thanks sweets. I think the motivation behind it is what speaks for it .. just knowing we all have 'things' that begin to drive us to our destinations yanno?

Hearing the call of the deep (ie, WAAAAAAAAAAAATER ... for me)

But that's just one. Making the most of every day is another. Not wasting time in useless situations is another HUGE one ...

Shall I go on?

Family has camp in the CO Rockies (Father's retired there).

I come home from vacation there to here (2 blocks from the beach) and feel homesick. I yearn for the Mountains but know if it were the other way around...it would be COMPLETELY the other way around.

Seeing the sakura blossoms in Fukushima Japan in the spring and visiting the onsens in the winter(natural hot-spring baths), skiing in Hokkaido, the Shrine in Matsushima and visiting Tokyo at night. I will really be glad to get return in September. Until then, here I wait in Indiana.

Standing on the border
Looking out into the great unknown
I can feel my heart beating faster as I step out on my own
There's new horizon and the promise of favorable wind
I'm heading out tonight, traveling light
I'm gonna start all over again

And buy one way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go (Because I can)
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know (Because I can)
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can

Gonna climb the mountain
And look the eagle in the eye
I won't let fear clip my wings and tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed
That love had to be so blind
When freedom was waiting, dwon at the station
All I had to do was make up my mind

And buy a one way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go (Because I can)
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know (Because I can)
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can

Well, I have walked through the fire
And crawled on my knees through the valley of the
shadow of doubt
Then the truth came shining like a light on me and
now I can see my way out

I'm gonna buy a one way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go (Because I can)
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I'm gonna buy a one way ticket on a west bound train
Gonna have my breakfast with pink champagne
I'm gonna sail the ocean, I'm gonna spread my wings
I'm gonna climb that mountain, gonna do everything...:banana:
