Just Like Old Times

I'm here- sitting in front of the computer- the only difference from last year is I am a year older and I have accumulated more shit. I guess I should do an overview of last year- I can sum it up in a couple of sentences. Vickie treated me like shit.I worked and I barely got to see my nieces, and I'm poor. There is the negative way to look at this last year. I think that there are some positives about last year-- for example- I lasted a whole year at my first job and my first solo apartment. I got a digital camera. My friend Rebekah got married. My family is healthy- so am I.

Anyway....
I went up to Rebekah and Jamie's for New Years. I had a great time talking and hanging out with them. We had our first winter storm this last week- I hate snow! I rented Garden State and Napoleon Dynamite- I liked them but not enough to buy them and rewatch them over and over. I love Zach Braff so I expected to love Garden State- oh well...
I have watched so many dang movies in the last couple of weeks that I am in a catatonic state. I do plan on watching 28 Days Later- um later on tonight.

There is some dialogue from Garden State that I liked- I was just talking to Rebekah about this same subject and he phrased pretty much how I feel.

Andrew: You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore. All of a sudden, even though you have some place where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone.

Sam: I still feel at home in my house.

Andrew: You'll see one day when you move out. Just sorta happens one day, and it's gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist.
Maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know? You won't ever have that feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself. You know, for-- For your kids. For the family you start. It's like a cycle or something. I don't know. But I miss the idea of it, you know?
Maybe that's all family really is.
A group of people that miss the same imaginary place.

Sam: Maybe

It's simple but it captures how I feel lately- I was either living with my parents or in the same town- so these 'college' feelings are happening to me now. Anyway- I'm doing laundry.
