24 Hours...

...from now, I'll be setting up a tent in the North Georgia mountains. Now, that might not sound like fun to some folks, but when you live every day in a dirty, ugly city like Atlanta (actually, it's only really dirty and ugly in the heart of summer and winter), you look forward to fresh air, green grass, trees, and clear water.

Also, 22 hours from now, I will be dropping off my roommate's 18-year old kid at college. Big day for him - bigger day for me. Two months ago when he called to ask if he could stay with us instead of his mom, I figured, "Sure, no sweat." I must have been smokin' some crazy shit back then. The irony is that he was hardly ever there, but boy, when he was... I just thought my little brother was a lazy ass, but he ain't got nothin' on this kid. I think he also has short-term memory problems and he might even need a hearing aid. I mean how many times do you have to say, "Throw the empty fucking Coke can away!!!!" OK, enough about that especially considering my roomie might be checking my rants.

In any event, we're headed to the mountains to camp, kayak, eat, drink, and be merry. I am so jazzed about breathing real air and enjoying my first vacation since January!! It ain't France, Malaysia, or Peru, but it ain't Altanta either. If I see a beer-swigging bear, I'll be sure to take a picture.

Everyone have a great weekend as I will be sans-technology for the next three days.
