Go west, young Louis [25 Jun 2004|01:47am]

Hello, one and all. Tonight I'm joining you under strange circumstances because in just...three short hours, the Virtel family in their party bus is skippin' town. We're heading to the wild, wild west (Jim West, desperado), and by "west" I mean Colorado. As I have previously stated, the mother of all family reunions will be occurring, so it'd be less than becoming of us to not show up. Hopefully there'll be things to do...I've brought Trivial Pursuit, my cd emporium and almost anything else I can think of. I always end vacations using far less shit than I bring...I have no idea when in my life I will wear that much underwear. Or eat that many Cheez-Its. It's vacation though, I suppose anything is possible.

But anyway, what the hell else is new... not a heck of a lot other than I feel like nowadays I'm really waking up and smelling the sweet-ass roses moreso than before. It really is nice to finally be in a stage where nothing is stressing me out completely. For some reason I don't feel too behooved to give a shit about the money situation and Iowa, nor care about over-sleeping or minor frustrations or...oh most anything! Fact is, although I sometimes feel I can project the wrong image of myself, I am really feeling more comfortable in this skin than ever before. However, I don't think I'm as... sporadically creative as I was awhile ago, but I do think I've gained focus and a better understanding as to what I think my "purpose" is. My penchant for communicating and being known and spreading the word never ceases, and I don't even know who I should be showing thankfulness for it...all I know is I'm grateful. Elyse once told me that she's glad I turned out the way I did...she said something along the lines of "People like you can either grow to be inward and intense and depressed or they can be outgoing like you are." This goes along with the fact that I am, as I like to refer to it, the "black-ass sheep" in my family. It's a good thing though, I feel like I add a lot of energy and extrovertedness and flava. All of us add a lot of things individually, and so in that way I think each member of my family is irreplaceable. We're like an ecclectic, bitchy, sarcastic jigsaw puzzle. We fit together, but that don't mean we won't make fun of shit.

Like that grammar, eh? Bet you didn't know I was from Compton, did you...

Everything's peachy. I think I'll make this a short entry, and head on out. Have a pleasant week without my deadjournaley goodness...and believe me if I can manage to find a damn computer during my stay in Colorado, I will hook you guys up, don't worry. Nothing better than live-from-the-action entries. Like those entries where I'm in a typing from a bunker in Vietnam or I'm typing while winning Wimbledon. Well, those were my favorites, anyway.

Alright, I'm out...love you guys 24/7, keep up the keeping up.

Louis.
