Home is Where...Where?
And the winner is Lil' Soap! This shirt has been a big hit. I've gotten several compliments on it when I wear it out.
I've become a real t-shirt and jeans guy over the last few months. I've always worked in casual work environments, but lately I've been rockin' the zip up sweater/t-shirt combo quite a lot. I suppose I have to enjoy the cooler weather while I have it. Before I know it, Mighty Ra® will be beatin' down on my fare city with his cancerous rays of 100 plus degree heat.
Speaking of Mighty Ra®, this August I will have been a resident of The Valley of The Sun for ten years. Sometimes it seems like yesterday when I rolled into town, sight unseen, in my big ass Grand Marquis with the driver-side window that didn't roll down and no air-conditioning. (What. Was. I. Thinking?) Other times, it feels like I've been here forever.
I've been having a bit of wanderlust lately. Although I enjoy my life here in the desert and have made a ton of great friends, sometimes it just doesn't feel like home. Honestly, I'm not really sure what home is suppose to feel like. I guess it's one of those, I'll know it when I see it kind of things.
So you tell me, what does home feel like to you? Are you living there now, or is there some place you'd rather be?
Comments
The only place I've truly felt at home was New York, which sucks, since I'll never live there again. I'm hoping Boston will feel like home when I get there, someday.
Home feels comfortable. People notice me but only fleetingly. I know where to go for everything I need. I'm confident on the streets, and I'm happy in my house. Home is being part of a community, not necessarily being best friends with everyone there, just being a part of it. Home is something very deep inside that just clicks into place when I'm there, and never seems to fit right when I'm not there.
Home is hard to find.

I def. consider NYC my home. It's where I have built a life and I love it. Even though I grew up in the south, and my family is still there, and I go to visit them a lot, my parents and siblings don't live where I grew up, and so, it's not really home to me anymore. So, my home is NYC...and it will always be. I love it here.

minneapolis is the official home and i quite like it, however NYC for me is "home" - ever feel inately at home somewhere you've never been? that's nyc for me - the very first time i went there it felt like home.
