well here i am. alive and well. the time is winding down, fast, but not fast enough. well i have been thinking a lot about what i'm going do after this all ends. I thinking about mexico, i was thinking about staying here and getting an apartment, and now I have been thinking about Iowa. Iowa? Seriously? Yes, Iowa. My cousin April and Family are up there, and have been for about a year now. Why would i want Iowa? Well there is a few reasons. Besides the snow, they live in a small town. I know in the past I have been anti-small town, i used to tease Matt because he was from Kerrville. I was the young punk from the big city of San Antonio. But you know, with recent trips to Mexico City, and Houston, I'm a bit burned out on the big city life. Or even the middle size city life. A simpler life appeals to me, and this might be my chance to attain it, even if it be for a week or a month. And did i mention the snow? But I do crave the simple life, no not the Paris Hilton show, but a truly more simple, easier, less complicated way of life. I'm tired of rush, the hurry, the frustration, the things that seem to find you when you live in the city. So just like anything else, I'm going to visit and see what developes, and see how the lifestyle would be. I'm not saying I am going to move there for good, but I think maybe a month would do me good to see and get a grasp on how the life would be. Plus I would have to test the job market, and see if its possible I could get a job. I'm really interested in it though, and I guess the trip at the end of year will decide my fate. Living arrangements are being tended too, but if all goes well, I might even have my own little apartment. How cool is that? I mean, honestly, I am very excited about it. I love San Antonio. I love Mexico. I love being in the South. But I can't see myself being happy here. I've tried, but there are just too many memories here. Too many things to remember. But if there is one thing life has taught me, it's that nothing is certain, nothing is concrete, nothing in this world is for sure. So can I say I will love Iowa? No. It might be the place that helps me realize how much I love San Antonio. That is yet to be determined i guess. But for now, that's what I'm going to plan on. This is what I want, this is what I have decided. Too many times have I made decisions based on others and what they want. So yes, you heard correctly, Iowa. Did I mention the snow?
