hello seattle!

There's nothing like taking a vacation from work, where I can relax in a far away place and nurse away the crappiness of the previous week by drinking a dozen beers and kir royales. Where I can chill with old friends whom I haven't seen in years and spew about the good 'ol days into the wee hours of the morning. Where life is simple, and all of my problems are a thousand miles away.

Yes, I know, it's a temporary fix; a fleeting feeling of happiness that disappears on Monday when I arrive back home and all the troubles of my past are there to haunt me again. But until then, I'm going to enjoy my time away, and live life to its fullest.
