Volume at 23 on the Car Radio (A reflection on my recent trip home)

This post is currently being hand written on the back of a plane itinerary on board a flight from Denver to Omaha, to be typed up later.

My first comment is quite a simple statement, and that is that New Mexican food is unlike anything else. I love it.

Secondly, I really loved playing Mario Party with Dominic this week. I will be recruiting him shortly as well as kellen, Ian, and Jimmy for some Tuesday night Wizard card playing online. Dominic has grown up a lot in the time since I first left for school. Perhaps we both did. However, I do have to agree with Ben in that Dominic and I bring out the worst in each other. When I dropped Dominic off to go camping, I was so sad. I really wanted to play Nintendo later that night, but I didn't have my buddy to do it with.

In regards to Ben, I must remember to support him more in the future. He has grown into a creative and beautiful spirit that is independent and mature beyond his years yet remains somehow not nearly as jaded as I was by then. I admire his aged yet pure soul and intellect. It is oly in a blog that I know he will not read that I am able to speak of him so openly and highly with nor regard for upsetting his modesty.

I talked to Matt this week, ::sigh:: I miss him. I miss the good times we had together. I miss the Pop-Pops crew. While many cannot understand why I talk to him still despite how much it sometimes injures me, he will always will be one of my bestfriends. He will always be tight with me.

In regards to my Father, nay, all adults, I have finally become one of them! I love conversing with my parents, others parents, and I love not having to explain myself.

I am really happy with my relationship with Ian. We endured some serious "arguments" while I was in NM, but the reason I put them in quotations is because we didn't really fight, but it could have been really ugly. Further, I realize that he is my other half. I no longer desire to be with him, because I have accomplished that. Instead, I know that I am with him, and he with I, so now I strive to be a positive attribute to his life. I want my eternity with him to be beautiful. I figured I would never ski again, but I want to, just to know what he loves so much. I want to be there with him as he graduates. I want to smile at him from the hospital bed as we bring our future children into the world together. I am so happy with that relationship it is ridiculous. I guess I already said that.

Most of what I learned in New Mexico will take more time to put into a blog, except that I love New Mexico. It is where I want to call home, for the rest of my life. It is beautiful, serene, and comforting in an exciting and Hispanic way. It was nice not to be the only one who loved green Chile. Anyway, I suppose that will do for now. Until the next time,
Buenos dias mis amigos. Vaya con Dios.
