After about 2 days in Jacksonville, boredom got the best of me. I promptly hopped in the car and headed down south. Coral Springs is where I consider home, although I havn't lived there in 5 years, and each time I visit I know fewer and fewer people. It's the only place I have remotely close to a "hometown", and no matter how much it's changes, It's where I grew up.
Each time I go, I feel more and more like an alien life form. This time wass by far the worst. Sunday night the feeling hit me worse than it ever had before. I met up with a highschool buddie at Friday's and withing minutes a miniature class of 2002 reunion broke out in the bar section. Everyone was assembling for drinks, and I was soon discovered. Most of the people I hadn't seen since before I left 5 years ago. So the "holy sh**!"s and the "Where's the hell have you been?"s? began. My answer was always the same, "Utah". I wish I could say that their eye's lit up and they all had thousands of questions about the amazing beehive state, but that wasn't the case. Instead almost all of them chuckeled and made a funny comment about the water I was chugging like a champion. Upon me asking similar questions I soon found out they all had been in Orlando at one point and now were headed for either New York or California. Besides my one really good friend, the conversations just kinda fizzled out after that point. I didn't know what to say, and despite throwing around mild swear word here and there, I was still the religious kid that doesn't drink and isn't having sex until he's married. I'm fine with it.
I don't know what I'm getting at, they are great people. They don't understand a lot of things in my life, and I know I don't understand a lot of the things in their life.... I guess I'll just leave it at that.
P.S. as soon as I get the computer with the scanner working all this nonsense is getting deleted and the silly doodles that are nonsense too will take this spot.
