San Francisco treat... or trick?

So in a very odd turn of events I had to make the 10 hour drive from Chicago back to my house in Athens, TN. It was a very emotional drive for me for several reasons. The first being that I have come full circle on this month and half long journey across america. This is were me and joe started our trip. It really feels a lifetime ago not just a month and a half. I was thinking about how just awhile back me, joe, katrina, and sarah were in NYC for sketchquest 08 before I moved from maryland. Then I spent a very short lived time here back in TN before I decided to move to Austin for school. We all know how that turned out. So I continued to drive all the way across America and back. To put it in perspective I really have gone coast to coast twice in the past year and I will never be the same because of it. The last reason this drive was tough was becasue it's the last trip me and ol Sydney would make. The point of the drive was because dad is buying her from me and selling his car. I must admit it was quite serene pulling into the driveway. I think it really puts life in perspective when you leave your home and go thru serious shit. You don't realize you've changed or what's important to you until you leave and come back. It's gonna be dificult to not have the ability to drive when I need to. It's always been a comforting thing for me to do. I do wish though I had more time on this trip to stop and see all you guys in KY and TN. I literally just drove here and am going to the bank in the morning to take care of the car stuff, then flying back to chicago. It's been a wild ride and this time truly coming to an end for some time. This whole trip has forced me to think, evaluate, and consider what is important to me. I love all you guys/gals from coast to coast and my family too, however I gotta think about what I want in life as well. I did think quite alot seeing as how I drove from frisco back to the house by myself. I have made a decision about what direction I want my life to go in the next few years so I wanted to share it with everyone. I decided to stay in Chicago until I have finished school with a degree in hand, no matter what. So that my friends is where I shall be for the next couple years. I hope that many of you will come to visit me and that I find the time to come back to visit all of you. Because other than my personal goals in life, all my friends out there are the only thing that I care about. Like I said before I love all of you and you make life really worth living that much I do know. I look foward to what the future holds for me and all of you in your own adventures. Don't forget I'm always here for all of you no matter when or what you need. See you around.
