So it's thursday. Only the second day that I've been in Florida. I had spent an estimated amount of thirteen hours on the road getting here. Here being Palmetto, Florida, inside a small quaint suburb of a larger town, Brandenton.
My parents and I had spent the night in Georgia, in a town that I haven't a clue the name of.
Last nigth stayed at a cousins house, in an even more distant subdivision. It was very much needed. I was able to stand outside in a tee shirt and lounge pants. It was something that never, and I mean never occurs in Michigan this time of year. At the least it was sixty-five degrees outside. The sky was clear and the stars were shining and I realized that I haven't actually taken any time to notice them. I'm never outside during the winter, mostly because I hate the snow, the cold, pretty much anything that is associated with winter.
Even though I had learned of a very difficult situation my friends are involved it, I didn't let it get to me and did my best, fourteen hundred miles away, to make them not let it get to them. Things do happen but they are not always bad things. It's just hope and time that can figure any out that is definate.
Today was not the most entertaining day but did help me realize that no matter where you go in the continental united states, all high schools have the exact same drama, the exact same problems and exactly the same people. It's just the small details that are slightly changed and morphed to fit the situation.
Anyway, I've realized that I'm a big fan of religious symbolic jewelry. Mostly crosses to begin with but earlier at The Red Barn, which is indeed a large, red barn that is a flea market, I had purchased a, in my eyes, a stunning rosary.
It's crazy because I'm in no way religious. At least I don't think I am. I don't attend church, I don't look up to a higher power and don't do anything ritually. Neither am I an Athiest, because the overall concept of not accepting a higher power and basically having a religion that is a religion that denies religion, is just a little obsurd for me. Though I can't speak on the entire religious populous of Athiest becaues I haven't done research so therefore my opinions are mearly opinions, influenced by what I've heard, and have seen of Athiest.
Either way I should get back to my temporary family; a mother, a father, twin cousins, a younger cousin and another that is at a friends house for the night. It's such a testosterone driven house it's ridiculous.
But it's enjoyable though I am slightly out of place. They talk about cars, females and when they asked what I usually watched on television I answered, "I usually don't watch that much television," and their response what, "I knew you would say that." That plus the fact that I've spent the last half an hour to forty five minutes on the internet while the twins play Need For Speed: Most Wanted, of which I have to purchase when I return for Kt, she'll love it.
