[enter nostalgic title here]

I suppose we all have pretty unreasonable dreams, and some not so unreasonable. I like to believe my dreams are tangible and most certainly achievable. It is, however, very possible that I have too many dreams, and therefore I'm often weighed down by what others would call their (my dreams, that is) "loftiness". I wrote this poem a year ago:

Globe Trotter

If home is where the heart is
I have a hundred homes.
My homes are spread across the globe
Each housing a portion of my soul.
Others claim I need solidity,
But a house cannot be built
On wishes and lofty dreams.

If I were a turtle I could carry it
Wherever I go.
But I am not a turtle.
Shall I make my home a sail boat then,
And let the wind make up my mind?

No.
I am not the sailor,
I am the wind.
I will not be bridled.



You see, my biggest dream is to travel the world and see as much as I can possibly see. So far I've only been to three countries outside of the U.S. (other than Canada, cuz it doesn't count). So yeah. At this point I'm not entirely sure of the direction I want to take with this blog. Mostly it will be, like the title says, pointless tidbits that happen to cross my mind. If I bore you, I'm sorry. You chose to read this though. :)
