Part one of a parallel universe

part I

As I fell asleep he said:

Close your eyes, don't be afraid.

They'll never understand.

Why?
I said.

You're not like them.

He Said.

I have to find out.

I said.

You don't.

He said.

What will it prove?

-

That I am my own.

I said.

I'm taking a road trip. I said before I want to move out west, I think I'm going to visit it first. I'm thinking Montana. I have a friend that resides there and he keeps commenting that no one is going to visit him. Well my friend, I love driving and I love adventures even more than love so I will venture to Montana. I might have to do it alone, which is great because I'm in no hurry to get there or back and I don't care what happens in between. I refuse to spend a dime on a hotel though. Sleeping bags, long johns and a mixture of my car and a tent will do perfectly (I hope). I can't wait. I really hope it all works out.

Other than that latest update life is pretty grand. It's all a blur right now, I spend so much time on campus I'm thinking of taking up residency in a closet. Between there and my job... theres little time for much else. It's a little bit of a struggle, I put a lot of imprtant things on the back burner. God is one of those, I need to learn some time management. It's almost over though. It's only with His help that I'm even making it through right now.

I'm going to go enjoy the next few hours behind the lens on my picture date with Liz.

That's Amore

There's something going around. Some kind of epidemic that causes me to feel whole and completely at one with the universe. ;) It's uniquely invigorating the way God works in us.

I'm getting ready to spend another night toiling away kissing people's feet. I feel I've mastered the art of charm. All in a days work... I should be grateful waiting on people and being a servant. I am grateful for having a job and being able to make money, but sometimes it's just too much.

I've changed my mind again and decided I really want to go out west to live. I'm thinking Montana or New Mexico. You never hear of anyone saying they want to move to New Mexico. I'll start the trend. Quite honestly I forget it's one of the 50 states. But I'm ready for a change in scenery and I need to escape the bittersweetness (is that a real word?) of my comfort zone a.k.a.: Grand Rapids.

"When the moon meets your eye like a big pizza pie... That's amore." _Moonstruck.

LOVE love Crazy love.

I miss you Croatia!
