i miss virginia :(

  1. that's it...i miss virginia

    i miss the calm

    i miss the open sky

    i miss my house by the woods

    i miss the thirty minute drive to the ocean

    i miss watching the naval ships sail in

    i miss norfolk, virginia beach, and portsmouth

    i miss driving my car through the city

    i miss paintball in the woods

    i miss the quite mornings

    i miss watching the hawks

    i miss watching the deer

    i miss my neighbors who were neighbors

    not the strangers next door.

    and it's odd because i was born in new york, then lived in virginia for 9 years. now that i came back,

    i feel homesick

    I feel your pain Mugen (is that Japanese? as in "let's dream?') You know what I would do? I'd imagine the hawks and the deer as people and the animals in your area as the neighbors. ;)

    don''t mind me, i'm crazy, lol. i'm over my homesickness. i'd never go back to the eastern shore permanently. sloooooooow. i was just really tired yesterday

    i didn't know what mugen meant before. i took the name from one of my favorite characters, Mugen from Samurai Champloo. but when you mentioned it i googled it and it came up with "limitless" or "infinity". better than cow-poop, right :p

    I feel your pain. I come from a very rural neighborhood in western ny. Panama doesn't remotely feel the same unless I drive at least 2 hours away from where I live. I feel a bit closed-in at times. If you're in New York City, I would imagine you would feel similarly.

    Hey, while you're there, try some ropa vieja and platanos, ok? :)

    wow, lol. if i had five favorite foods, platanos would be one of them. they call them plantains here and i usually find them at Caribbean or Asian buffet lines. never cooked them myself...

    ropa vieja and platanos...yes maam ;P i'll definitely try it

    The green one we turn into "patacones" here in Panama. The yellow ones with some cinnamon are the best! :)
