I Cant Possibly Eat ANYTHING else.... Is that pasteles???
Oh my Gosh, Im a glutton. I ate entirely too much good food yesterday, half of which I cant even pronounce, it was amazing!
I got into town around 4ish, stopped at my fams house, the Italian ones, to say hey and eat dinner. Its always good to see everyone, but the joy is gone. With the absences of my cousin, father and brother, its just not the same, huge gap there. Ever since things went to shit however many years ago, I always imagined just ONE more thanksgiving, where we were all there together, laughing, eating awesome food like calzones and pizzagen, and just happy, again. It had seemed impossible for the longest time, still does really, but I think I can change that, I need to be more active in getting us together, for some reason, Im the only link between these people, I should use that, we'll see about Christmas.
Anywho, after leaving the families, I went to the other families where it was exciting as always! Spanish music playing, people dancing, talking loudly and just being joyful. I got to see all 3 of my sissy's for the first time since the wedding earlier this year I believe, it was awesome. Me and Natalia were talking about old times, we argued about who was meaner and who beat who in Jeapordy, some things never change. We drank a few beers, realized that my tolerance blows, so we went back to chill at the other house, I fell asleep for a bit, then my friend Carlos, aka Pookey, came in and I saw him for the first time in a year. He has been in Iraq fighting that shitty pointless war, he had some cool stories to tell, after all he was a helicopter pilot. It was good to have him home, glad he's safe.
I went to the beach this morning, I miss it. I miss the smells, the sounds of waves crashing and birds, the feeling of just peace. I walked along the ocean, shin deep in the ocean, so relaxing. I even managed to rake up a 10 dollar parking ticket, oh well, it was worth it.
Tomorrows the wedding and Im excited, I love being home, I love the fact that Im actually on vacation! But even with all this joy and peace, theres still another place id like to be, in her arms, maybe if she was here.
