Let’s get off on a tangent! (20)

I was going to blog about how wonderful laying out was today and that I only get to do it max twice a week and even less than that with the crazy rainy season we’ve had lately. And how being able to get out & get some sun helped me feel connected to the happy memories I have of growing up on the MS Gulf Coast. Sure it’s on my terrace and not at the beautiful barrier islands where I spent every weekend of my summers as a kid. So beautiful, the islands are completely cut off from modernizations. One has to own a boat to reach them and then make the half hour boat ride out to spend the entire day there. No power lines or snack stands. i really didn’t know what a “commercial beach” actually looked like till I went off to college. [some photos I found online b/c I haven’t any]

But then it made me think of hurricane Katrina and how the islands are transformed now with broken dead trees which made me think of my family and my hometown [post Katrina] and how you can never “go home again” and how much I hated growing up there in the first place and why can’t my family just move some place better like HERE so I could at least be closer than 1,000 miles from them and how selfish they can be and no one cares about my new home or upcoming wedding and BLAH. Note to self. LIVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT… always.

WOO! \(´ー*｀)/
I feel better now having gotten that out!

Oh yea~! New layout… sort of. Mainly just a new banner with my tweets stuck up in it! I was getting really sick of the old banner. This one has Rinka & EMI
