tired from a week of eating...

I flew from Newark to Minneapolis, on the 6am flight. I dont suggest doing early flights from Newark ever...train schedules are very infrequent, thus making me leave at 12am the night before. One would think sleeping on the terminal floor, and getting into a car out of the airport for a 6 hour drive would be miserable. I do think though, just the fact I was going to South Dakota with my cousins I grew up with, made it so enjoyable.
My cousin John is the gay male version of me, or rather we are just very similar. It made for a really positive holiday. I lost all phone service while I was gone, had no computer, and just relaxed. I literally, ate, drank, smoked copious amounts of marijuana, ate, slept, played with little kids, watched movies, hung out with the rediculous amount of cousins and family.
This was my fathers side of the family. Has been, and always will be the side of the family I really relate to. They are such good people, and it remains a constant reminder to me of where I come from, and how lucky I am to have such a big family who cares about each other so much. It is a positive feeling to know, there are people out there, and families out there that get a long so well, and just enjoy life together. I guess as I get older, it just gives me that sense that I have the capacity to love those close to me, to enjoy those around me. It feels good to know it exists, even in the smallest, most boring towns in the middle of South Dakota, you can enjoy life to the fullest.
IT is just about realizing happiness is within.
