"It says home is where the heart is but what a shame cause everyones heart doesn't beat the same" -Jesus of Surburbia by Greenday

1:15 am on D-Day. The day I've dreamed of since as long as i can remember. A chance to escape, to live, and truely see who I am and what I'm capable of. This undeniable view of what life and freedome truely are.

However life came together in for the first time in years on one night in a house of dozens. Friends who I've had for years gathered together and talked the night away. The gamecube blazing in the back as Samus and Mario duled famous battles that always ended up with Mario on top.

A night of poker chips, stories, and tales off sports vs. cudaling gone oh so wrong. 1000 hugs this week 1000 good byes and moments that never seemed to end.

21 years remaing in one place. Home. While no goodbye is nessicaraly goodbye forever, there is still this deep sadness inside over having to leave the friends and familes that i have grown so accustomed to having in my everyday life.

Mixed feelings, of joy and elation to starting the latest and newsest chapter in my life and sadness and and remorse in closing the chapter on life up till this point.

All i know is I will have a fantastic time these next few days as i move in build some furniture, and spend 5 glorious nights with an absolutly wonderfull girl in an absolutly wonderfull house.
