Completing the Circle. . .

Now for the meat and potatoes of this entry; Atlanta, GA! ! ! Yes, I’m in Atlanta, GA for a much needed vacation. I’m only here until Tuesday, but glad to be back home. It’s been 5 years since I’ve been here and a lot has changed, but a lot hasn’t changed either. The old neighborhood doesn’t even look the same anymore. New houses and stop lights everywhere. My old golf course now has only 8 or 9 holes to make room for new houses. My old house is still there, but trees have been cut down and plants that won neighborhood awards are gone. It’s also very interesting talking to old friends and seeing old stomping grounds and getting the flashbacks. Oh the flashbacks are really something. Having flashbacks while looking at places we use to hang out at, old lost friends houses, and at the mention of certain names. Most of the flashbacks have been a laugh, yet some make me question myself and wonder what was I really doing and why? Do you ever regret things you’ve done in the past? Was it supposed to make you a better person? Did you learn anything from it? Why are you still doing the something now? Do you realize that you’re doing the same things you did back then, except with different people? Is running away really the answer? Do things really change? I know we grow up and learn from our mistakes (right?) or do we just grow up and tell the younger ones that it’s not a good idea and keep doing it ourselves?

One thing I do miss about Atlanta, GA is the people! Oh my god there are so many pretty people down here. The women all seem to have been genetically manipulated at birth and seem to have it all. One thing I miss about the city is being able to sit on a corner and just watching people go by. Weather they are walking or driving by and looking at them and there mode of transportation. Well I have a friend coming over to pick my up so I need to go change and get ready. I hope to have pictures to post tomorrow of sites and old friends. I know you will probably not know anyone, but I hope to be able to give you a glimpse of my old life while living here in GA.
