Missin' the Days

It's not the days of high school; the so called "glory days", or even the wonderful days of college (experimentation in all things; a fabulous social life)...no, I'm itchin' to find my pre-teen days...somewhere between ages 6 and 11. I am so longing for innocence, no responsibility, and a complete sense of fun. Things were so easy then. I guess it's the fact that I'm watching Six Pack, that I'm reminded of my early childhood. I saw this one w/ my brother and my dad in the theatre; way back when. The song "Love Will Turn You Around", brings up so much. I would love to not have bills to pay, obligations to fulfill (other than getting the morning paper out to the folks on my route), or people to impress. I want an easier life. How do I do that? How do I find the innocence of my childhood? How can I reverse the jading process? I don't like being jaded, but I think it's inevitable. My greatest wish right now, is to do some serious travelling. I want to experience new things, meet new people, try new foods. I think our road trip from Chicago to Phoenix and then eventually to LA, really left me wanting to travel more; road trip style. I'm ready to get on the open road again. Give me some cash, enough to take a couple of years (if not the rest of my life) off from a day job, and let me spread my wings. Hmmm, feel that breeze. Hell, I'm ready to get a damned RV. Let's go! Thanks, Tom Selleck.

509. 509. 509. That's my new lucky number. 9 has always been, but I've added the two other digits recently. I'll spare you the explanation. 509 is what I need to begin fulfilling my travel/innocence/carefree dreams. Make it so.
