V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

Last week, I couldn't stop eating.  I was constantly in a state of hunger.  I ate so. much. food.  all the time.  I was like a 15 year old boy.  This week, I can't stop moving.  I went running for an hour and I am not a "running person".  After I came home from that hour run, I went on a walk for an hour and a half.   I plan on going running today as well because I have so much energy.  I can't stop moving.  Am I finally going to  have that growth spurt I've been waiting for my entire life?!?  

Probably not.  I'm 20.  

On an unrelated note, I'M ON VACATION! No work and no school! And so, I'm going to Prague.  That makes my life sounds so cool.  "Oh yeah, I'm just going to Prague for a few days, no big deal.  Whatev." That actually makes me feel a little bit cool, which is rare.  I leave tomorrow afternoon.  I'm going to stay with Beth Ceryak but my friend Christina Wills, who goes to NYU, is studying abroad for a semester in Prague so I'll get to meet up with her.  To make the whole situation even more ridiculous, I am going on vacation whist on vacation.  Beth and I were invited to go to Krakow (Poland) for Friday and Saturday.  WHAT?!?!  So basically, I'm just going to Prague and Poland.  I am going to Poland.  WHAT?  

I feel really fortunate.  Laying in my bed at night, trying to fall asleep, I often times think of all the places I want to go while over here.  One place I wanted to go to but never saw myself actually going because, well, WHY would I make it Poland...ever...was the concentration camp at Auschwitz.  But this whole thing lined up perfectly and I have this opportunity to go!  It all just fell into place.  

I feel a bit awkward writing in this thing lately.  Because I feel so lucky and fortunate and I don't want to keep writing about all of the cool things I get to do.  I feel egocentric talking about myself like this.  I am very aware of every, Me, I, I'll, Myself, I'm and Mine I use and I just feel a bit silly.  Blogging...its so hipster and internet and 21st century YouTube of me.  I have come up with a name for my generation, BTW.  I want to know how to Patent it because, damn, its a good ass name for us.  I don't know if I want to share it until I know how to patent it...I could potentially have my college loans paid off, right here, right now, and I don't want some other 21st century YouTube internaut who reads random people's blogs to get rich off of my creativity.  Look at the Google guys or the Facebook/Myspace people. I bet they didn't even think of those ideas, it was probably somebody else.  But instead of sitting around, they actually DID something and now look at them: 25 years old and retired.  Why can't I do that?  IN FACT, I think they probably rigged the whollllle thing.  Now, people hang around and waste so much time sitting in front of Facebook/Myspace/Google Earth/YouTube when they COULD be out DOING THINGS.  And then the GoogleFaceSpace people get to steal all of the ideas the internet-addicted people come up with while sitting around on GoogleFaceSpace!  I could be out patenting words right now but NO!  I'M BLOGGING!! THIS IS LUDICROUS (who is well by the way.  He beeped my two-way from his blackberry celly.  Wow.  That sounds like robot sex.)

Get me away from this cyberland.  I've had enough.  I'm going for a run.  Then I'm doing laundry, then I'm going to Prague.

PS:  Did you know that every english speaking nation, except America, calls Periods (like the ones at the ends of sentences) Full-Stops?  That would really clear up some confusion, in my opinion.
