Spring Break Blog
Well technically not since Spring Break ended yesterday... Friday for those who want to get overly technical. Overall it was nice, I got back out of Las Vegas, which is always a good thing, and was able to make it out to Six Flags, and Venice/ Santa Monica Beach. The weather out there was beautiful, and there's never a bad day when it involves the beach and friends. Although I do wish my friends were more organized, it's a small nitpick, but I guess I annoy easily regarding somethings.
Going back out there and coming back here made me realize something I've repressed since I've moved to Vegas, but has been percolating since about... Oh, we'll say summer 2007, and that's travelling.
When I moved out here from Colorado, I had it with moving, it ruined my High School years, and I just wanted to have a base of operations to operate from, and for the longest time. This was actually my plan, this was something I wanted to do. I carved out an acceptable life style for me in Vegas and I didn't want that to change, friends, goals, and a place I was comfortable with. I didn't need anything else.
Then of course I started to change, I started taking trips out of Las Vegas, visiting other places I haven't been, reconnected with things I loved but forgot about, getting more out of my life if you will. Then things started to change in the place I hold dear. My friends changed, my priorities, and of course with full acknowledgement of the slippery slope i'm treading here. Bad experiences started to make Vegas not look like the Haven I originally made it out to be. That's not to say Vegas is a bad place, by all means no. I still think this place gets a badder rap than it deserves. What i'm saying is, I just that there's much more out there for me than this little valley. It bothers me that I don't have a memory of New York to call my own, or that my family in Miami that I used to visit all the time as a child, I haven't really seen since my Grandfathers funeral back when I was a Junior in High School, that I have no recollection of my hometown Norfolk, Virginia, or that I can't tell you much about the second longest place I've ever lived in Groton, Connecticut besides what the Navy base looks like.
I don't know if it's that I want to leave Las Vegas, or simply travel, but regardless of this I feel there's more to my world than the east side of Las Vegas to the Caliornia coast line.
