Delayed

Yep, I have been thinking about writing a post for a while, and numerous topics drifted through my mind. Well lets see if I can remember them all.

First we have the return to child-like happiness type of thoughts. I had this feeling that all my life is trying to return to this state of exurberence that I remember growing up, and doing all the crazy things that I did then, like fly remote controlled aircraft, live in virtual fantasy realms created by my friends, make movies, cause mischeif and play. I just want to remove all the complexity of my life so that I can return to this uber happiness. But was it really that happy?

I am beginning to think that it was an illusion, that it wasn't even that great. It is just my perception of the past now, much like how I percieve everything being great in High School. Are we all simply chasing the past?

I ask you.

I am going back home in a couple days, tomorrow in fact. I am traveling slowly though, and I will be sure and taste much of the beautiful northwest on my journey. I am going to record as much as I can with my brothers digital camera that I am planning on stealing, fair and square. I should be in Missoula by Monday morning, if all the logistics work out correctly.

And then, good times. I expect that my time is going to be laundered away with booze and girls, like a majority of my High School life was. I am hopping for some good stories- what else can you do in Montana besides create history?

I can't remember the last time I went back. It was before I started this journal, i think, which is similar to before recorded history, as far as Travis is concerned.
