Where is Carolina?
I'm feeling pretty weird right now. I wasnt sure what it was at first, because its not something that has happend to me recently...but I think I have it pinned down now. After not feeling it my entire first year away from home...i get back home..to calgary..an awesomely awesome place as always..and I'm a little bit lonely. Of all my close friends..only Trent have i seen a satisfactory amount. The people I was looking forward to seeing here...amit, mitch, ray...my high school friends..i have seen little or not at all. The things I get out of talking to those friends...fun times, good memories, intellectual debate..have been strangley absent since i got home. I miss people from McGill...when you live with people for eight months they become somewhat of a regularity..and not having even talked to them much...there is a bit of an empty spot there....Mark, Kristen, Derek, Cowboy, Larissa, those names headline the list..but it goes on. Anyway..all that contributed..and it was accentuated today by the fact that lyndz and I will continue our long running tradition of living in the same city for one year..followed by a bunch of years apart. All that is annoying..and is made more annoying by the fact i cant seem to adress the problem effectivley. People are busy..even when I talk to mcgill friends i run out of things to say..and I myself have little time for the endeavour..it seems like i do nothing but work, track and physio. So..as I often do when im feeling weird..i threw on JT's Carolina in my Mind (#2 song of all time) and flew away to my own little perfect world..my Carolina. the only thing is..im not quite sure where carolina is right now..it's often at the lake..but right now it sometimes is in windsor, and sometimes in Montreal and sometimes back to normal in northern sask. We'll have to see where it ends up..but it will be somewhere good..and im glad to say this..something not too far from real life (within reach anyway). Now its my job to carpe diem and make it happen. Cheers to all.
