So unless I decide not to, I'll be wayfaring Jackson and perhaps even Birmingham by later this week, which is - to put it bluntly - padded cell worthy, baby! Oh yeah it's true, I'm flying blind and solo through the jungle of flippin' bonkers! Just a few cages short of a monkey farm I am, but rest assured my little darlings, I'm almost there!

Presently amid a rather unsettling entanglement of emotions regarding this trip, and to be honest with you a muddled mess such as I shouldn't really be going out anywhere - let alone Mississippi - without a helmet on, and the strange thing is, I haven't the slightest clue as to what's wrong with me. See, I've never felt so strange about travelling, ever. But I do know what I must do, I think.

So long as I remember that I've no control over anything other than now, I should be alright. Truly, realizing that the future is nothing more than a mind projection and that later is always - in reality - now, should ultimately help ground me in my thinking. So with that said, I shant worry my loathsome little head for one second longer. Whatever happens will happen for whatever reason. I must let go. After all, mind projections are unbridled babble and they really shouldn't be taken too seriously at all, right? Right. Plunk! You cats are too much!

Regardless, I had to vent over it all one last time before skipping my way out the door, and now I have. Done.

On a seperate note, I'm a hyper-sensitive gargoyle!

Blow me kisses,

Sullen

You lucky duck (Score:1)

I wish that I was rootless sometimes. Having a child makes this impossible, because my son is in school and developing important social skills by making friends etc.. Unless of course, I was wealthy enough to have private tutors for him, to take with us on our adventures. I wouldn't mind going to Peru. I just saw the movie, "The Motorcycle Diaries." Machu Picchu looks incredible. Have you ever been there?

PS -- I really like your style of writing. It flows very nicely.

I've never been to South America. The furthest south for me was Mexico, and that was for a very brief visit. Oh, but I'd love to go to Peru though!

You have a son? That's really cool. I envy you having a child. Truly, your journey with your son is far more spiritual and beautiful than any journey I've ever had so really, don't feel too badly about missing out on geographical adventures.

Seriously, it's rather miserable at times and not nearly as romantic as I'd thought - back when I was envisioning my future. See, loneliness kicks in at times and when it does, a warped sense of self often poltergeists, ultimately leaving you amid an emotional quagmire of sorts. But that's another story, for some other time.

*Blushes* You like my writing style? Thank-you very much for saying that. You've made my day!

can i just chime in with "it doesn't have to be only 2-sided"?

Sullen is right about parenting being a beautiful adventure. But I must also state that parenting does not have to prevent you from having adventures in other countries.

My daughter and I lived in Nicaragua when she was four. It was a difficult experience at times (okay, the whole time), but well worth it, especially because it helped me finally learn that any journey that I might go on on my own, I can also go on with my child. Currently my journey involves me being in graduate school.

But I guess the point I'm trying to make is this: enjoy your child. He is a wonderful blessing. And this is definitely enough. But you don't have to sacrifice your dreams for your child nor your child for your dreams.

And Sullen, I wish you the very best. My kisses have been thrown to the wind for you. I know in my heart that everything will work out for you just as it should. And, if things do go awry, I think you'll find under all the difficulty something really useful or beautiful or both.

No gargoyle you (Score:1)

Hello, you "hyper-sensitive gargoyle",

Sorry for not (immediately) recognising you earlier, it's been *so* long since I checked the journals... Speaking of which, I hope you will keep yours up-to-date during your journals both inward and outward?
