Back on the horse, and on the road again

I'm sorry that my reporting mode shut off for so long. When I first came down here my mind would automatically take my experiences and process them with wit into words to "write home about" that doesn't happen anymore. I'd like to say that your didn't miss much though it probably isn't entirely true. After all I am still in a foreign country where I experience new things everyday still. But quite honestly my life got a bit boring for awhile there. I worked. Two or three jobs and too much maybe. It was winter. Cold, dark, and often windy or raining or both. So after 50 or 60 hours on the clock I filled in the rest with some surfing, church and friends. But now all of that is behind me. I've quite working and moved out of my place to live the life of a traveller. It's bittersweet. Closing those chapters of my life in sydney is premonitious of "the end" (not the "happily ever after" kind either) maybe on one hand, seeing friends less as I'm off gallivanting the continent maybe is good, like a gradual goodbye. Then again, sometimes it's better to just rip the bandaid quick, pain all at once. Oh well. Let's just enjoy the traveling I get to experience ! I wish I could be with all my friends AND travel. With them! But alas, I can't have my cake and eat it too. Or wait.... My mom and sisters coming out together for 2 weeks holiday was pretty special to say the least! And soon after that I road-tripped the coast with a work mate for a week. So that counts. And all my other adventures are filled with new people- Breeding grounds for strangers becoming friends. And I shall fill you in more properly, pics included, on these exploits soon. My Manly (noun not adjective) friends will be there when I get back from my tour, I'll have about a week hang out (pick the scab if you will) then they'll send me off with love to my homeland and back to the reaches of others that I loved and left in Cali, and Michigan. So please! all of you be ready for me, cuz I'm gonna want some big hugs as I settle back in. I'll probably cycle around again with my brain taking life and converting into stories to share with those I care about across the world. And then as time keeps rolling, someday, some of these friends will come to visit me on US soil, at which time I will definately eat some cake and be thankful! Stay tuned... And use your context clues to figure out my new word "premonitious" :)
