Traveling and Other Homes

Signing in...

Been a super busy week.  But in a good way.  Busy like... spring break busy.  Full of awesomeness.
Anyway, my dear friend Zuzu notified me that the people were deprived due to my lack of blogging.  I'm sorry.  I seemed to only be able to do daily blogs for a week and a half or something.  Maybe I can get back to it.  I've always got something on my mind.

Soda comparison.

What's your favorite soda?  I prolly would either go for Dr. Pepper or Mountain Dew Voltage.  I really don't like the taste of regular Mountain Dew anymore... I've become too use to Voltage.

Actually, I'm not gonna compare.  Just state.  So again, what do you like best?

I've been traveling a lot.  Traveling to visit a friend.  Traveling to visit K-State, which I'm attending starting next fall semester. I got to stay overnight at the fraternity I'm joining with a couple friends.  Great guys there.  Great place.

But anyway, I love traveling.  Driving.  I don't mind that I spent nine hours traveling in total between the two trips.  Enjoyed it actually.  Except the last half hour before I returned "home".
"Home" has become considerably more home-like recently actually.  But I still just don't feel quite right here.  Just getting out of the house does wonders.  I'll go for a bike ride, hang out next to a creek that runs near where I live, or just drive to Borders or something.  More than that though, I like getting out of Wichita.

Maybe it's cus I'm ready to start college.  Maybe it's cus I really want the freedom that comes with being away from Wichita.  Maybe I'm just a bit tired of the place.  Whatever it is though, I definitely like leaving town.  The longer the better.  I really like visiting my friend in her small town.  It's a nice place and I feel very much at peace when I'm there.  It's the kind of place I want to live in when I'm older.  The kind of place I'd like to establish my Soda Fountain at.  The kind of place I'd like to raise kids at... hmm.

My "wanting to get out" doesn't really extend beyond Kansas.  I love Kansas.  I use to detest the flatness of it.  I thought it was null.  (Null - slang from Feed!  Will talk about this in the future!)  Not anymore though.  While I absolutely love a nice trip to the Rockies (after Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico are my favorite states), Kansas is definitely home and definitely where I feel right in.  I like the Flint Hills.  (Yay for moving to Manhappiness!)

I guess these days I find my home more in where I expect to be in the future.  This is maybe not the best train of thought... but then again, it's not like I'm not living in the present.  Actually, I think I am now more than ever.  It's just I know where I'm headed.  I know where I find and will continue to find a certain joy and peace.  I'm content with where I am.  But there's something more in going out and being in these "places of the future."

...signing out.
