I think I am slowly turning into a hobo...

So I'm here at OC walking around, working on motorcycles, now sitting in the nowlin center because I've nowhere to go, and nowhere to be. The road trip to Florida with 2 of my best friends Matt and Terry fell through due to Terry being summoned for sinus surgery the day of our anticipated departure. Matt had previously had reluctant feelings about going due to money and other things he was taking care of, but kept them to himself as to not screw the group over, but now that it was just the two of us it was inevitable for him to drop because it that would just cost too much in gas. After going through my options, 1 of which was to ride the motorcycle all the way there (19 hours one way) I managed to get online and find a round trip plane ticket for 237 dollars leaving from Dallas on Saturday. My dad and brother and I are all paying equal thirds, which is 80 dollars a piece, and I will be riding my motorcycle to Dallas tomorrow afternoon and staying the night with my aunt and uncle.
I feel like a drifter.
Both my grandma and the uncle I'm staying with (I had talked to his wife about it) called within ten minutes of each other offering to pay for a plane ticket so I wouldn't have to ride...but of course I declined these offers, I mean it will cost me about 10-15 bucks in gas to get there...the choice is obvious...plus i think it's cool to take interstate trips on a motorcycle for some reason. I keep bounding from place to place- TheDowd's, Matt's place he's staying, Terry's...now my Aunt and Uncle's place...I wait around the nowlin center...Dr. Awesome is becoming a vagabond...the Metallica song "wherever I may roam" comes to mind. If you haven't heard it download it, it's cool.
This is turning in to rambling so I'll be off. Good night to all, hope to see everyone again.
The open road calls, and I have accepted the charges.
