turkey for turkey day

it dawned on me recently (with brian's help) that i have not updated my blog in a while, which is a shame because i do enjoy writing in this thing and keeping it up to date. the summer has been a little crazy for me though. i find it hard to set aside time to write when i barely set enough time aside to sleep, eat, and have some sense of fun in my life during the summer. i turned 24 since my last post and i must say that while getting a little older is nice, but it is just that... old. year after year i feel myself growing even more disconnected from my "peers" or from the age groups that i used to really like being around. for some reason chattering about careers, mortgages, and politics seems so much more appealing to me. i especially notice this age gap at the cafe that i have been working at for a few months. i am friends with a few of the people that work there because i find them to be enjoyable and entertaining and MATURE, especially for their age. Lately though i have realized that the age difference between myself and some of my co-workers is actually quite profound to me, yet in a way some of them remind me of people that I once knew or still know.

earlier in the summer i went to new york and had some fun times in the city with brian and dayne which was great! brian and i got some free yankees tickets and then got a "buzz from the guz!" while we sat in our awesome first base line seats in a truly awesome baseball stadium. now, i am NOT a Yankees fan. I was born and raised with the red and white of the red sox but there was just something about going to yankees stadium before they tear it

in other news i have basically decided that boston is the land of assholes! i really can't imagine myself living here for too much longer and i have began to think about the new places that would be fun to escape to this time. on the short list right now are Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, Seattle, and Miami. We'll see exactly where this takes me but I think that I would definitely prefer the west coast over anything else. i just can't imagine staying in a city with so little common courtesy or human decency and the longer that i stay here the more i notice it. i guess another reason that i feel that i do not want to stay in boston any longer is because my dad and i started fighting again. it's been a month since i spoke to him and i really feel no urge to start any time soon. i've done a lot of thinking about this, especially after his most recent actions while my brother was in town, and i definitely feel that my dad is one person in my life that i would be completely content with not speaking to again. it's sad, but i am so tired of his antics of playing my brother and i off of each other and the fact that whenever we start fighting he does some immature bullshit act just to spite me or get back at me for not talking to him. whatever, i'm done with that shit. i have no desireto live anywhere near him any longer and maybe one day after i move away he will realize what a selfish asshole he has been all of his life.

i bought tickets to go to Istanbul and Athens for Thanksgiving this year. i'm not telling my family that i am going. so keep this a secret! shhhh....
