Home Land Bound...!!!

OMG!! It's finally Friday, and I'm on my way to the Home Land today. The week has been long and full of anticipation for anything on a stick, friends, and family. I will be at the fair everyday till I leave with various people. It's true. So if you're one of the Home Land readers (100+), hit me up! Maybe we can share one of those buckets of chocolate chip cookies. Hahaha.

I text my mom this morning that I was on my way home and the first few lines of an Ozzy song. In my younger years, I used to call my mom and sing them to her as I was coming back from out of the country from a mission or random trip. "Times have changed, and times are strange, here I come, but I ain't the same. Mama, I'm Coming Home. Hahaha. She'd cry just a little cause my mom's always gonna be my mama!

The week has proven to be full of new things and old friends. As far as the job goes, I've been offered one of the positions for a newly being constructed store in my old neighborhood. It is a fast-track to regularity in scheduling and a more regular life, and I've really been thinking about what that means....a regular life. I have nothing really keeping me anywhere, and it's made me think a bit on what to do next, who to do that with, and when I should get to it. I've got job offers internationally to practice chiropractic of which one includes Australia! Yea. I'm really considering it, but I also got an offer to do some other industry work in Japan, and that interest me for one reason alone--I might get a chance to study the way of the Samurai. I'm at a cross-roads of sorts, and I know the time is either now or never, but then there is a girl in there somewhere! LOL. So we'll see what happens this next quarter of the year. The New Year will be new beginnings.

 In the picture to the left, is my Australian friend Margie and her new husband Seth. They met last year in Colorado and three weeks later were engaged to be married. The rest has been history. I got the pleasure of meeting Margie a couple of years back at the place I normally do karaoke. I put the encounter in my second blog story, Recovery: Surviving & Reconstructing the Dream, where she essentially told me that my buddy Fallon was a 10 in singing and I came in somewhere around a 8.5! LOL. That number has gone up over the last two years and random times we've gotten to hang out. But, last night was just a star in the sky as I happen to be driving on my way home on the PCH and she informed me that they where in Santa Monica having dinner at a super familiar place. It was good to see her and catch her up on my love affair or the lack there of with K.C.

The rest of the week was more or less spent getting ready to come on home for a long weekend, stay healthy while getting my fair share of handy work done for my friend Al. Everything from cabinet assembly, to washer door 'jams', and dishwasher stuff. Yup. I'm glad I'm Mexican and actually know what I'm doing, but really I'm just glad to feel useful and able to participate in someone's life that I'm comfortable with and don't have to explain myself to. Hahaha. Although, I guess if I wasn't emotionally unavailable as one of my other chic friends put it, maybe things would happen. I'll let ya know how the HOME LAND visit is next Monday!! Till then, be safe, drink enough, and eat as much as you want!
