Wanderlust

I wish Jennifer Aniston wasn't in a movie by this title, because it is one of my favorite words. Wanderlust. A strong, innate desire to wander about the world. I talked with my neighbor Beau about this sensation, this itch in the "soul" of your foot. He moved his family to Alaska not long after that. I took off for Thailand. And now...

Life in Milwaukee is truly better than I ever imagined. It would be even better with more money to enjoy downtown life, but I am doing alright for myself. But that itch is back. Hopefully it can be quenched by a weekend roadtrip or something, because the future is looking bleak for travel.

Growing up and getting an 8-5 is retarded.  I DO NOT recommend it for those who, like me, get bored with monotony. This not say that I do not like my job...I love my job. I am doing quite well in my job. I look forward to work everyday as well as solving problems for people. I enjoy my commute with the radio and my thoughts. But I think I thought I would appreciate the sameness more than I in fact do.

This girl needs to go see some new horizons.
