that's all folks

for the past couple of days, staying with chris in london, i've been doing my best to blog our various misadventures, which have been some of my fondest this whole trip. but i haven't finished anything yet and i'm beginning to think that my subconscious has been convincing me that once i put it all down, it signifies an ending. it symbolizes a conclusion. it completes a chapter.

i don't want the chapter to end.

the phrase "back to reality" comes to mind. and it's bullshit. because maybe this traveling thing is reality, and everything else is just the means to get there.

i need to stop before my attention deficit gets the better of me.

it's 9:20am on a cloudy and chilly london monday, and it officially marks the final journey back home. painfully, chris has left for work and i must gather my things and stuff the backpack just one last time. each moment that passes is complimented with a memory of the trip. one month leaves you with many memories.

in this, the last transmission before my feet touch american soil, a moment of reflection passes and wishes the concluding sentiments...

.: thank you to my fellow travelers who have made this journey magnificently memorable
.: thank you to those at home who have sent warm wishes for a safe and amazing trip
.: thank you to the kind strangers along the way who have aided in this journey

it's a long trek home, but i will be there soon. 8:30pm, monday. june 25.

see you on the flipside.

it's all as real as you want to make of it. simply ask yourself, what do i want?...and then let it become reality.

giving thanks

last year, erin and i spent thanksgiving at cammie's place in the city. it was an intimate gathering of cam's close friends. i made some baked mac and cheese that i was very proud of... it was delicious. but betsy broke my casserole dish on purpose, because she had her own mac and cheese she wanted everyone to eat. just kidding, but i dish really did break, and it really was betsy's doing... accidentally, on purpose. heh. anyways, this is the first thanksgiving in 5 years, that i haven't spent with erin. very strange, and sad too. i've found myself reflecting on the friendships that i've made over the past couple of years... thinking about the people who come into and out of our lives so quickly. as you may be able to tell, i'm a nostalgic little fuck. i live every day like it's a big event. i try to treat those i've just met, like they're my best friend (unless they're a complete douche bag). i get sad at the end of the night when i have

what a fucking night. sox game so we started by taking the el to the sox game. it was dan, dave, chuck, and me. we got there at the top of the 4th, with the sox up 5 to 1, not that i give a shit about the sox or baseball for that matter. we met up with the crew, which was a good 25 or so guys. tauber's dad was there and he was hilarious. there was a fight in the stands and we all cheered. there were also many hotties walking around, prompting us to immediately decide to come to another sox game soon. yay. griffin's we took a very interesting el ride to get to the bar. dan and i were being very obnoxious. it was great. legerro got off the train a couple of stops early so that he could piss. haha! jon got us open bar from 10p-1am. we got hammered pretty fast. then the first stipper came and she was pretty good. she was actually serving drinks for everyone completely naked. she gave a couple of lap dances. she was great. then dallas showed up and she rocked the house. she was gor
