Daydreaming in the City of Brotherly Love

This weekend I flew up with Jerry to visit Jaime and Dan in Philadelphia. It was a great trip. One of those weekends that feels like it lasted more than two days. Jerry and I were exhausted and on our flight back all we could think was, "Damn, we did a lot this weekend."

I decided that instead of writing a lengthy post reflecting on every last detail of the trip, I'll just write about some thoughts and impressions that I have from this trip:

1) You know how you know someone is a true friend? You don't see them for a year and yet when you're reunited it feels like you were never apart. There are a lot of superficial friendships and acquaintances in this world. But certain friendships you know will last until you are old and gray.

2) Good friends are GOOD to travel with. Jerry = most laid back, low-key person I've ever traveled with. We were delayed for 3 hours on the way back and not once did I hear this man complain. I spent a large part of the 3 hours griping about how I'd only get 5 hours of sleep before my class on Monday. Yes, I can learn a lot about having a positive attitude from my friend Jerry.

3) West Chester is gorgeous. If I could could describe what my ideal suburban paradise would be - it would be West Chester. The houses are huge. The houses and lawns are immaculate. There were these beautiful trees with white flowers all over them that I couldn't stop taking pictures of. You'd think I live in an urban craphole - but you seriously don't see things like that around Orlando anymore. I wonder if I can convince Steve to move there.

4) I've said it before and I'll say it again - I don't care if it's Philadelphia or Prague. I love to see new places. One thing that I liked about Philly was all the random street art. It added a colorful, trendy kind of aspect to the city that I really liked!

4) I missed acting a fool with my friends. I really like playing Mario Kart. I love to drink cheap beer and sit around talking shit with my best friends. My friends define who I am. Life is dull without my friends.
