I've always been a city boy, for as long as I can remember. Getting shit-faced in Harvard Sq. or Copley with my friends as early as 13 years old. Man, those were the days. I just spent the last week in New Hampshire. Bristol, New Hampshire to be exact, which is quite possibly the raddest place I've been in a while.
It was in the high 80's to mid-90's the whole week, and yet unlike shithole MA, quite comfortable. Went swimming practically everyday, sat by a huge fire every night, and sat up until the wee hours of the morning watching the stars. When you live in a city, you start to forget about stuff like that. Breath-taking stuff in the truest sense.
One of the most incredible experiences I think I had on the trip was probably experiencing true darkness. I went walking one night, in an area with pretty few sidewalks and even less traffic (at those un-Godly hours...) and I found myself in the middle of a highway surrounded entirely by nature and darkness. Never before have I had the chance to feel that, complete isolation from the world yet surrounded by green trees and the breeze off the lake. If there truly is a heaven, I want it to be just like that.
They have drive ins in New Hampshire, we went. When i say 'We' I am refering to myself and 5 friends. One of those friends is a spectacular gal who I would very much like to spend every waking moment with. I'm terrified of losing her friendship though because she's one of the neatest people I've ever met and just awesome in every way. My favorite night was at those crazy Drive ins, where after Wall-E (Which was adorable by the way, go see it) we fell asleep next to each other during the Chronicles of Narnia.
I'll wrap this up before things get too mushy, since there's a strong possibility she'll be dating our mutual friend Tim, whom she has been acquainted with all of six months and whom I got a job for. Daggers through the heart help the body stay ventilated I guess.
