The promised land?

Today I packed up as many of my belongings as my laziness would permit and hopped in my Ford Taurus to begin the four hour drive home. Somewhere along the way, while listening to my limited number of CDs on repeat (including Rilo Kiley, the Garden State Soundtrack, and my friend’s MileyTaylorShakira&GaGa dance mix), I looked up at what I could only hope was some type of mythical and culturally symbolic bald eagle soaring through the sky and thought THIS IS AMERICA.

Looking back at this afternoon while currently watching the Twilight movie with some recently converted fans (aka my parents), I can’t help wondering why I would ever want to leave this country in the first place.

All I have to say is GOD BLESS US, EVERYONE!
