I promised myself I wouldn’t go fall asleep until I saw a sign on the road that mentioned Barcelona Spain. For some reason this feels like somewhere I never pictured myself going so it seems like some sort of monumental occasion, i might as well be going to Mars. I’m sitting at the front of the bus on the top level just watching France pass by, it’s a peculiar feeling. I don’t know what else to do beside listen to some of my favorite songs to try and strike up some feelings and nostalgia. It’s interesting making a playlist of songs you want to hear and then when you hear those songs they make you think of other songs to add to the playlist, then when you hear those songs you start thinking about different times in your life, different places you’ve been/lived and who you spent those times with. The good memories feel like yesterday no matter how long ago they were, i think that’s how you know they were important. I have trouble remembering something that happened a year ago but I remember so clearly listening to “Soulmate” by No Use For A Name 15 years ago with my buddies in my room. Anyways, here are the songs I listened to tonight. Might not mean much to you but it was comforting to me, and hey, it’s my journey man.
P.S. I’d be stoked to go to Mars tomorrow instead of Barcelona.
