Friday! It was a long week, full of root canals and lacking in logic or organization. I have been finding solace from the um, well, annoying aspects of life here, by keeping in my headphones, making mixes left and right on 8tracks. Now it is a mere moments before my 4:30 freedom.... to spend some time with family and friends, likely sitting at a mini mart, which has become our favorite thing to do here. Seriously. I never thought my favorite place to hang out would be a mini mart, but it actually is! Josh and I have been scoping out our neighborhood for the best one and so far we have three or four pretty good ones within a few two block radius!
I miss my friends back home, especially Danielle and Kate, you lovely ladies!
“I had the misfortune to be nourished by the dreams and visions of great Americans—the poets and seers. Some other breed of man has won out. This world which is in the making fills me with dread. I have seen it germinate; I can read it like a blue-print. It is not a world I want to live in. It is a world suited for monomaniacs obsessed with the idea of progress—a false progress, a progress which stinks. It is a world cluttered with useless objects which men and women, in order to be exploited and degraded, are taught to regard as useful. The dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian has no place in this world. Whatever does not lend itself to being bought and sold, whether in the realm of things, ideas, principles, dreams or hopes, is debarred. In this world the poet is anathema, the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist, the man of vision a criminal.” Henry Miller
Aaahhh! Miss you too lady. I know Kate does as well. There is nothing a little Nicole in your life to "fun" things up and keep us thinking. Glad to spend some time with you this winter, and lovin' the emails. Keep em' comin'. MWAH!
