The Eye of the Storm

I have not written in my own voice here in a while. I just returned from a two-part vacation. The first was a short trip to Miami where oddly enough roaches were awaiting me and my travel buddies. Apparently my friend's mom rented out her condo to Oscar the Grouch. Let's just say I am thankful for the beaches, the weather and the brevity of the trip.
Judging by my Miami experience I was more than reluctant to revisit the Sunshine state. I wasn't really in the need of a vacation. I had already flown more this year than in the past two years combined, visiting my friend in Georgia earlier in February. Things were on the up and up, I was break dancing more, sticking to my open mic Thursdays, exercising, and generally enjoying life! Alas I decided to take in a new experience and enjoy some good weather in Orlando. Joe's Crab Shack, Aquattica, Universal's City Walk, and seeing my friend get shocked by a stun gun on a bet were the obvious highlights that come to mind, but I think I will remember the little things more. The peace of mind riding through stretches of highway with a view of endless horizon is something every New Yorker should have.
Running on three hours of sleep and flying into Newark to get back to Queens is weighing me down. I believe I will join my cat and take a nap in the sun. Yay, for karaoke, honesty, sincerity, new experiences, and dark chocolate bunnies...To be continued
