A Taste Of Home...



Okay, sooo I know I made a post like yesterday about food and the search for its awesomeness. But I had a little breakdown today. I’m happy to say that I official keep my promise of avoiding America fast food chains. But I did go to an American sit down restaurant.

IDK, I got crazy and missed the small things about eating in America.... complimentary bread, free water refills, free refills in general, and weirdly enough good beef...


.....Well remember those good friends I was talking about well we jumped on the Metro and Rome and ended up at the Hard Rock Cafe... where we had an awesome American style hamburger and fries, drinks (Mojito), and Ice Cream... yes not Gelato.... It was a sweet little reminder of home. I think that in each country I visit ill have dinners like this....

...And even in the future in which I’m pretty sure I’m moving over here (that is Europe for a period of time) that ill have things like this. Because no matter how much I think that I’ll be an Ex-Patriot... I'll still need a little taste of home.... Why Is Home Always Where Your Heart Is And Not Where You Are???

A Good Friend Is Hard To Find...


A good friend is hard to find and in my case once you do they tend to live between several hundred to several thousand miles away... I don’t understand my life seems to work this way people who I think that are amazing and I seem to fall into really amazing routines with seem to always live really far from me. IDK... The prime example is that I’ve met people on this trip that I could easily spend hours with but for some unknown reason I have never seen then before on campus etc. etc...
I guess that it’s just the luck of the draw... But let’s stop reflect and realize life is too short to wallow in the "what ifs" of the world. I have time right here and now to enjoy, love and relish in their friendships.... and I anyone knows me I’m flawless with long
distance relationships sooo if it’s meant to be then we can easily keep it up... Goodbye’s needs to not start playing in my ears till it’s really time to leave... But Why Do We Always Miss The Ones We Didn’t Spend Enough Time With????

The Search For Food...


Its wild you come to these countries and people talk about the food and how it is amazing, but they forget to mention that these places are just like everywhere else in the world some people can cook and some people can't. But please don’t get me wrong I have had some amazing food since I landed here. In the land of pasta and wine it’s been amazing. I also have on some very unofficial/official level made it my purgative not

to go to any American fastfood places. I’ve walked past both a McDonalds and a Burger King and marked them as things not to find my way back to......

But with all this amazing food something else has come up. I stumbled upon this video while going on one of my frequent Youtube binges. It was of this guy he has this fairly religious video blog. And this one was about his body and how he has just recently been able to take his shirt off in public. Looking at this kid he was gorgeous and i could image that he would have been much different 6 months ago. But i digress anyway there are a bunch of people on my trip who are counting calories and/or watching what they eat and an attempt not to gain weight. The thing is and let me preface this with you shouldn't go crazy with what u do... but damn raise your glass and be happy that you got off your ass and had the good fortune to travel across the ocean. Life is too short and this place is to beautiful to be worrying if your Canoli is over your caloric intake for the day... you feel me...........

............ Also Pink has finally released the video for her new song "Fucking Perfect" which has been added to the list of songs by her that will live forever in y mind as movements, musci with somethin more to say than how much you spent on something or how drunk you were the night before. Though we all know that those songs are fun???.......Anyway Luvs... When Are People Going To Start To Fight For The Person Than Are Over What The World???

The Start of Something New...

It snowed before I left NYC... things got covered in a blanket of white, all the rough edges got smoothed over and it seemed that that actually translated to my life as well... I don’t even if you realize but I’ve left the country and things are sooo different. I'm ready for this journey of self discovery. You never know what you might find... I think in a few more days things are going to set in more and I’m going to understand things clearer because I will have collected my thoughts, etc... Anyway Do We Really Know Who We Are????
