The Best of Both Worlds

I finally decided to book my flight to Peru, and damn, it feels good!  I am going, and that is it.  Now I can just sit back, think about all the beautiful mountains I am going to see, the cool people I will meet, the wonderful new food to try, and all the great photos I will bring back.  I am going to get my new ipod, and go strolling through the mountains while breathing in the mountain air, and listening to Bob Dylan sing about the ways of the world.  A vacation in nature, its going to be fantastic.  The Japanese word saikou (Å‚) — not psycho!– which means the highest, the greatest, is the best word I can think of to describe how it is going to be.  I only hope I don’t get mugged somewhere along the way.  That would be about the only thing that could put a downer on the trip I would say. 

It always feels good to make a decision, and be done with it.  Now I know, and I can just sit back and wait. 

On another note, I just talked to my mom about me and Aiko breaking up.  She seemed disappointed, which in turn brought out the exact same feeling in me.  Not thinking about it makes it feel like the issue doesn’t exist, but right before telling my mom what happened I started to get a knot in my stomach, and I realized how much our break up hurt me.  I guess I wanted to believe that it wasn’t a big deal, but hearing my moms reaction just confirmed to me that it was.  You don’t meet so many wonderful girls.  To lose one really hurts.
