Comments on: Home Is Where the Headache Is http://www.amtrekker.com/california/156 I'm an unemployed vagrant. All I have is a backpack full of technology, a shoestring budget and a very important list. When everything is crossed off my list I get to go home! Let me know if you want to trade one of those shoestrings for help. brett@amtrekker.com Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:23:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: amtrekker http://www.amtrekker.com/california/156#comment-1201 amtrekker Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:03:10 +0000 http://www.amtrekker.com/california/156#comment-1201 [...] zone than an actual residence.

There are places that you want to be when youre at your very best and when you're at your very worst; The places where you go to glance introspectively at yourself or to rejuvenated and inspired. For me, it's not the geographic location or the event occuring, but the people that I can spend all day doing anything or nothing with and still love every second. 1st: Nebulous - great word use.

When we were on the college program, I thought Thanksgiving and Christmas were going to be excruciatingly difficult for me, because I had never been away from my family for the holidays. But we had such a close-knit group of friends, that when we made our Thanksgiving dinner, it almost felt like home, like a second family. Looking back, I would say that it wasn't my apartment in Chatham Square that seemed like home, but Shawn's. That's where we cooked Thanksgiving dinner. That's where Margarita and Sarah and I layed on the floor singing along to the classic rock radio station until we fell asleep. I missed my real family very much, but being with those guys made it so much easier. So I don't think you're wrong when you call your host's house "home." They have welcomed you into their home, you have become friends, so now it's kinda like you live there too, if only for a few days. That's probably why you feel like the entire state of California is home...because you have so many memories from there, made with lots of special people in your life. That's my two cents. Merry Christmas Eve, Amtrekker! I say home is where your loved ones are. When we were on the college program, I thought Thanksgiving and Christmas were going to be excruciatingly difficult for me, because I had never been away from my family for the holidays. But we had such a close-knit group of friends, that when we made our Thanksgiving dinner, it almost felt like home, like a second family. Looking back, I would say that it wasn’t my apartment in Chatham Square that seemed like home, but Shawn’s. That’s where we cooked Thanksgiving dinner. That’s where Margarita and Sarah and I layed on the floor singing along to the classic rock radio station until we fell asleep. I missed my real family very much, but being with those guys made it so much easier.

So I don’t think you’re wrong when you call your host’s house “home.” They have welcomed you into their home, you have become friends, so now it’s kinda like you live there too, if only for a few days. That’s probably why you feel like the entire state of California is home…because you have so many memories from there, made with lots of special people in your life.

That’s my two cents.

Merry Christmas Eve, Amtrekker!
