Seek Your Adventure

I love it when you get those little butterflies in your stomach when you are thinking about someone. It's the best and sometimes the worst feeling all together because it is a mix of your biggest hopes and dreams mixed together with the reality that it may not end up the way you want it to.

Fall break

I am going home for fall break - the train ride here was very nice, and it did not feel so long because I was watching Into The Wild while the train was passing by. Arriving at the train station in Charlotte, I was waiting for my mom to come get me and I was also people watching since I had nothing else better to do.

Most of the folks were uninteresting, but there was this one kid - maybe 16 or 17 years old, and he was riding around on a skateboard with the smallest wheels I have ever seen. Absolutely tiny wheels. So this kid was there before I got there and he seemed to be getting frustrated for having to wait so long. He asked to use my cell phone and he called his mother, but the tone of voice that he used to talk to her with was so repugnant and rude, if I were his mother I would have put him in his place faster then you can say - go. I left before he did, so I didn't get to see him treat his mom in person, but he aught to be so appreciative that he has a mother that will come and pick him up in his time of need. He doesn't realize how completely dependent he is upon her, and her importance in his life - all taking into account that yes, adolescence is a difficult time for a developing young person but there is no room for disrespect to your parents.
