I'm a twenty-four year old homo-sek-syew-al, spawned from the darkest regions of Sunrise, Florida. I ventured cross-country in my dearly departed 1999 Dodge Intrepid, "Max," back in September of 2002. It was either move to California or move to Canada, and my family was none too keen on the idea of changing citizenship. Now will someone tell me, what's this dual-citizenship shit I've heard about?
My memory must suck these days because I want to do another ridiculously long road trip again. I can easily recall my feelings, once my journey was complete and I was standing in my first apartment: "I would never do that trip again! What the fuck was I thinking?!" Please take note, however, I did the 3000-mile commute alone. The only thing to sustain my sanity was my music. Although I doubt belting out tunes from the "Have Yourself A Scary Little Christmas" album from Tales from the Crypt would confirm the stability of my sanity. For the record, I only did that at around 1 AM while I was passing through Texas. I was so determined to get out of Texas that I was willing to drive all night. By 2 AM, however, my insomnia subsided and I checked into a hotel in El Paso.
Five years away from my family, and I've gone through a bit. I don't dare believe I know it all, contrary to what some seem to think of me, because I don't. I'm eager to grow and venture out. Long Beach has never been my goal, but a rest stop, and I think I've rested long enough. Those, as few as they are, close to me have seen how uncomfortable I become in my skin whenever my life resets itself. For quite some time now I've flirted with the idea of relocating. But where am I off to next? A while back I was gonna try out San Francisco, but I bailed on that plan for various reasons. New York has been on my mind quite a bit, but recently I've been entertaining the thought of Seattle. Now, Las Vegas has become an eventual location if my life follows an alternative timeline. Right now I have about three timelines playing out in my head once 2009 starts, and none of them suggest I'd stay in Long Beach.
As a brief update on my life, I have made a small change. I moved to a larger apartment around mid-January. This offered up some new experiences and perceptions as it is also my first time officially living with the person I'm dating. Scary, eh? Living with someone is an interesting thing. All I can say is that it's just comfortable. We co-exist pretty well. There's alot of mutual understandings with our differences, and that's about it. We've even had the "break-up" talks and it's a funny thing when you can give your boyfriend (or girlfriend) an expiration date for the relationship, and an account of events that will follow. All I know is we'll last beyond August 2008, because I want to make it to a year with someone, dammit!! But it can't go beyond three years, because Mike said so.
Anyway, there's a plethora of additional information I can share regarding my life's story, but that's generally available over a few Kamikaze shots at the local pub, or my living room. Besides, what fun is reading the details of my life? Especially when you can try your hand at making new chapters, and better if their alcohol induced.
For now, it's best to know that I like to be spontaneous, love to travel, and really value those that become a part of my life. Oh, and genuine-ness goes a long way.
But seriously folks, regarding those Kamikaze shots... Let's do it! I just got this bottle of Green Tea Liquer over the holidays, and I'm dying to try it. I'm also eye-balling this Rice Infused Asian Vodka called Han, I think. I know BevMo has it, and I want it!!
