home?

If I don't feel at home in SLO...

And I don't feel at home in my hometown...

Then where is home?

giving thanks

Today is Thanksgiving.

A day filled with fabulous food, precious people, fun friends, and tremendous times.

Being home has been great (in part because of the non-dorm food).

I've gotten to see family and friends, and the hometown that I constantly hate and love at the same time.

I hate it because it is were I grew up and I want to get away. I love it because it is were I grew up and sometimes want to stay. I hate it for being the small town that it is. I love it for being the small town that it is. I hate it for being the place where I leave my friends and family behind. I love it for being the place where I had those great memories with my friends and family.

I feel it is important for people to just think about and recognize the things in their life that mean so much to them on a day like today, because these things too often go unnoticed.

I am extremely thankful for my friends and family, but it's more than that. I am thankful for every person that has had an influence in my life: good or bad, because they have made me into the person I am today. I love and cherish the relationships I have with my family and friends because without them I would be nothing. Being away from the people you truly care about opens your eyes to what is important in the world and what and who really matter.

I am thankful for my home and the familiarity that comes with it. The way that once you return it is as if you have never left. No matter how long you are away.

I am thankful for the things that cannot be seen but I know with 100% confidence are out there.

I am thankful for the talents I possess and my purpose in this world that I have not yet found, but am sure of, I will.

I am thankful for the future and the joys it will bring, and the randomness of this universe: because you never know what is just six degrees away...

Can't really think of anything to say...

Just ready for Thanksgiving break. Get to go home, see all my friends and family, get to eat good food, and just chill in h-town.

So it should be good...I just hope it doesn't go by too fast.

the waiting state...

In Dr. Seuss's Oh, The Places You'll Go! he writes about the waiting place...for people just waiting...

But for me this is not only a place. It is a city inside of a state. A state inside of a country. A country inside of a continent. A continent inside of a world. A world inside of a solar system. A solar system inside of a galaxy. A galaxy inside of a universe. A universe inside of my state of mind.

It is as if I am constantly waiting for something else to happen. There is no current escape from the waiting and staying. No boom bands are playing. Yes, there is fun to be done, but little to be won.

Is there a winning-est winner of all? No one can be as famous as famous can be; because the whole wide world cannot watch you win on TV.

The games you can't win are the only ones being played, because you've waited far too long and are very much delayed.

Where are the great places?

Where is my mountain that is waiting?

When will today be my day?

So...I can get on my way!

HYPER ACTIVE

SO HYPER RIGHT NOW

WENT AND WATCHED THE DARK KNIGHT FOR THE THIRD TIME (STILL AWESOME)!

AFTER THE MOVIE I ATE A PINT OF ICE CREAM, THEN A HUGE COOKIE, THEN AN ENTIRE BAG OF POPCORN (BRING IT ON FRESHMAN FIFTEEN, I'M READY)!

I NEED TO REGISTER AT 7 TOMORROW FOR MY THREE CLASSES THAT ARE OPEN, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO WAKE UP AFTER THIS SUGAR RUSH ENDS.

BUT SLEEP SOUNDS REALLY GOOD RIGHT NOW SO...

the summary

A summary of my activities after class today:

Walked the ten minutes from my class to my dorm room.

Checked in on my Bus100 powerpoint assignment, and it was done.

Went on Facebook, took a quiz about whether you have a movie in you, because I was curious to see what it said although I already knew the answer. It said I did but I already knew I had about ten.

I added about 3 and a half pages to a screenplay, with notes for about another 10 more pages.

Caught up on movie news.

Read an article about the Captain America film, and wrote a comment suggesting Alexander Skarsgård for the lead role. Just a way of getting his name out there. We'll see if it does anything.

Went and ate dinner: Ham sandwich, chips, and a Sobe.

Came back to my room and took an online quiz for Pols111.

Shaved.

Caught the end of Ocean's 13 on HBO.

Started writing this...

What's coming up...

Hall Council Meeting at 9.

Sons of Anarchy at 10.

Read another chapter for Pols.

Sleep.

Start a new day...
