Finding you back :) (RE: I am losing you)

In response to Chiara's I am losing you


I come home, and look at my house. It is filled with so much stuff. When did i get here? I the gypsy soul, whose sole purpose of existence was to leave familiarity everytime it hit home, leave unnoticed, undetected, like i have never existed, or mattered, whether i came or was gone. I never wanted to own anything more than 3 suitcases which would barely fit into my extremely fuel-efficient but tiny car.
I am slowly becoming my parents. Yesterday, i found myself thinking about buying a condo. A condo, meeeeee? How utterly unlike my restless gypsy soul..

Come and sail with me around the world! Don't buy that condo, you end up selling it anyway (just what I am doing :)

I look at the mirror, and i cry.. I am losing you.. I am losing you.. My America of my childhood, of my dreams, of my future bright, the land of freedom, the land of just and fair, the land of freedom of expression, of personal liberty, of beautiful people, of courageous men and women, I am losing you..And i don't know where to go and look for you anymore..For we have become a nation of blood thirsty morons.

I am quite a USA fan, ok, I like Canadians too which reminds me : Morgan? Where is the flag you promissed me??).
Though don't worry too much about it, the basis on which the USA has it's existence will surface sooner than you think..
Look around you and see the good and the beauty that is out there... Doing that will help the world more than you know. (hmm you are allowed to have bad days/ weeks and years though :)
