Crown Point… It’s nothing but family and antique shops anymore. It’s good to see my friends when they’re around. While there’s not much going on in KC, there’s much less going on here. Right now, I like waking up, going to the gym, and then going to work. Doing nothing on a Friday feels so wrong.
In deciding if I want to pay the money to keep my website, I’ve decided that I actually to blob more. It’s nice to blog, even if I’m the only one reading it. Venting here just makes me less stressed from the day/week. So hopefully, I’ll actually stick to it and blog. Here goes attempt like 1 million at this.
Life is good. I love waking up in the morning, love going to work, and love coming home to my apartment.
The day has come, the one where I run around the house like crazy trying to make sure I have everything I’ll need in Kansas City. I can’t believe this day is finally here. I will miss family and friends, but I can’t wait to get started with my new life.
I’m so content to just leave now. Besides family and very few friends, I really have no attachment to Indiana anymore. I want to leave, start my new life. It’s all I can think about, one of the things I’m looking most forward to. These 2 weeks will fly by, and I will want them back, but damn it time. Move me to Kansas City, start me working, welcome me to a new, exciting life.
Apartment… check. It only took a night full of stressing about and realizing that I loved the one apartment. Furniture, however, that’s another story… What do I buy first? A couch, so that I won’t have a futon in the living room? A bed, so that I won’t be sleeping on the other futon? A dining room table, so that I have somewhere to eat? A tv stand, even though I have no tv for it? Also, finding things for the small space is fairly frustrating too. Also, I’ll need a paycheck before anything actually comes furniture wise :-p
Lately, I’ve been sorting through all of my stuff. It’s amazing how much I’ve donated or thrown away. Countless t-shirts that I saved now are on their way to people who need them more than me. It makes me wonder why I ever held on to all of them for so long. what is it about human nature (or at least American nature) that makes me want to hold on to my possessions as long as I can. Why did that desire to keep my possessions for myself suddenly seise gnawing at me? Is it that I’m open to new things? Am I a different person? Am I just more ready to begin the next stage of my life and leave all material remnants of this stage behind. I know that right now I am happy, excited, and nervous about what life has in store for me. I’m no longer terrified of the future but rather welcome it with open arms.
Life, my clutter is gone. Lead me forward.
I don’t understand why baseball is America’s favourite pastime. Basketball and football, although in lockout mode, are by far more popular than this sport that many find tedious and boring. Don’t get me wrong… I love going to games, drinking beer, and turning into a lobster, but this game is definitely not even close to America’s favourite.
I can’t wait to leaf this island for another, to fly for double-digit hours, arrive early in the morning. I can’t wait to (although only from a tourist’s perspective) experience how others live, taste the delicacies of Italy, stand at an espresso bar, and sight-see until my skin fries in the sunlight.
