Eyes Wide Open

Its late & I need my rest, so I'll try to make this quick.

After a while of no chatter on the comm between me & my infamous ex, I recently added her back to FaceBook as a friend. After accepting, she had reappeared on msn & started things out with a 'hi'.

We chatted for all of 3 minutes until she disappeared off of msn without warning. Jjudging by the conversation, I'm guessing shitty internets. In this brief 3 minutes, She told me how she went to Ottawa for Canada Day & how great it all was.

This triggered something in my database; Travel. In our relationship, I had always been apathetic towards said topic. Closer to the end of us however, my opinions had changed.

That all got tossed aside, for the most part, when the heart break occurred. But now, its back.

Let's look at my current plans: After school, get a decent job, doing something I enjoy. Save my monies, buy a car, tech toys, save for a house... it sort of fades off from there. But that's not how I want things anymore. I want to get out and see the world. I want to be able to look back on my life when I'm old and have stories to tell that don't involve video games or drunken debauchery.

I want tour Europe, Egypt, Pureu, Mexico, maybe Japan. I want to see the USA; go to New York, see the sights, visit historical museums, see California. I want to go out to the west side of our great nation, explore the Rockies.

To further contribute to this desire, my old friend Shaun from high school, he as completed his university degree already & is backpacking through Thailand. I want to get out like him, and see what I can.

But I don't want to do it alone. I want to do it with my love and my best friends. I don't want to share the memories, I want to share the experience.
