I'll take you for a walk to the other side, and we can get high and enjoy the ride


I can bounce things off you, right? Even if I'mma broken record, you'll bear with me a little, won't you? It's probably because my work was insanely busy this week, and with minimal satisfaction, that I am once again feeling like I have to make a break. ALL WEEK I've been fantasizing about selling my house, selling my car, quitting my job and just taking off. Liquidate muthafucka. Then I'd spin the big globe I have here in my den (one of those on a stand like you had in grade school with the compass on it and the mountain ranges are raised up...love!) and stab it. See where I land. I'd give myself a mulligan if that spot was unappealing, of course. Just kick around Europe and Asia (or maybe Utah...) until the cash runs out. As long as I'm dreaming, I'm also thinking I should do this with an intelligent guy. He's witty, too. Oh, and he has a hot mouth. Like Dane says, "Dream, you fucking dreamers". I'm getting old. It's not practical to do this. It's unwise. It's unsafe. It's ill-advised. It's my only hope? Thanks for listening.

I just love everything about the way he tells that, including the Twistee cone.

If you need to add to your globe trotting itinery sweet pea, come and have some fun Down Under!

I've moved cities a couple of times, (here, back there, then back here again). I've never sold up everything though, in both cases I schlepped it all to and fro at great expense. I battle between still being really attached to all my stuff and wanting to simplify my life and just ditch it all.

PS. On the topic of global wandering, don't forget - you, me and a certain Occulus have a date sometime. Viva Italia!

Ciao bello.

Maggie, yeah, packing up and hitting the road is a scary prospect. Notice how I'm all about the talking and not doing?

Me, you and a gaping hole. Consider it a date, A.

I thinking the term 'gaping' just takes that comment to the next level, don't you?

It adds an echo!
