i finished finals, and came back home for a short break.
it's been day 5 now, and i'm realizing that i like boulder the more i visit.
it's not the mountains, it's not the beautiful weather at a mile-high altitude.
it's the friends, and family.
being in such a lonely, work-a-holic environment back in california can have some really depressing results, and coming back to a place where i can truly call home means taking a visit from the dark circles of hell to the bright steps of heaven.
here are some things I did at home so far:
- Got to the DIA around 730pm on a saturday. on the bus via home, i met this really rad old man from kentucky, who plays music on thursday nights with his friends, and enjoys taking trips to visit his children in different states. before i left the bus, he said, "make sure to keep your heart open, that's the only way to live." and i replied "i'll keep that in my mind at all times. enjoy your time here!" i kinda felt bad saying; "enjoy your time" to this old fellow, almost sounded rude. he had many things to share, and hopefully so did i.
- I had lunch with my parents at the famous "Rib House" in longmont, (which also expanded in boulder) it was deeeeeeelishus.
- I missed 4/20 because it was a monday (which also means my parents' only day off in a week) but we went to denver, ate yummy food, and hung out, which was pretty nice. I don't think I'm going to celebrate it anymore, i'll probably have quit everything by this time in 2010.
- I got to hang out with my close friends, which is always an awesome time. I slept over at my fwend ryan's dorm room, and somewhat regretted not going to a university for a while, but got over it quickly enough. phew. travis came next morning and we played baseball. sooper.
- Also kicked it with lyndie, went to the infamous "mustard's last stand" for lunch. chicago style hot dog with medium french fries, check. her usual corn dog and small french fries, double-check. walking around pearl street made me feel at home the most. seeing the street filled with people, street performers and bums is never a regret. we also visited a tea shop named "trident". I forgot the name of the tea I had. bummer. today we went to go see "the kills" at the fox theater. the openers weren't too satisfactory in my book, but I thought "the kills" rocked it- before VV felt sick or something and had to get off-stage.
i'm trying to relax and enjoy this feeling as much as i can before i step back into the gates of hell. i never looked forward to anything during school days. i wonder what tomorrow is going to bring.
