Having not written in awhile, I feel the need to explain my unconscience neglect of a confidant I once found dear. It wasn't because of a lack of emotion or even a lack of originality but rather a lack of time. I've been working constantly this summer, saving for school and a vehicle; yet, still the ends just don't seem to meet. Normally, panic would over take me, but thankfully this time, I have someone strong to lean on. This weekend, Josh and I traveled to Carbondale to visit a friend for his birthday. Not only did we have a great time partying, but being alone together was possibly the greatest aspect. Here is my story...
We left on Friday, and for a person that hates driving, the trip was long and slow. Three hours later, we met Bob and got settled into the hotel. Not having any time to rest, right after getting ready for the evening, we left again with Bob to get the evening started. The night began with a tour of the SIUC campus, which was a truly beautiful sight. I really think it would be a nice place to go to school if it weren't so big, spreading across the entire town. After a great dinner, a couple of bars, and a couple of beers, the evening was topped off at the end with a stellar performance from the Brat Pack, a band that plays only the best of the 80s. Sufficiently buzzed, Josh and I ended the evening, falling asleep in each other's arms almost immediately after getting back to the hotel.
The next day began in the late morning with a quick lunch at Steak N' Shake. The rest of the day was pretty lazy, just hanging around the hotel, swimming in the pool, casual shopping at the university mall. Overall it was peaceful, relaxing, and endearing... (to be continued)
