Don't look back, you can never look back

This labour day is the first labour day in about 4 years that I will be spending it with my parents, out in the Canadian wild somewhere, full of townsfolk, bonfires, and lakes. So all I described in the previous post will be experienced once again.

I realized days before, that I haven't been out of the city in ages, and that spending a long weekend with my parents would and could be a good thing. I'm getting older now and I'm no longer just their child anymore and they're no longer just my parents, I want a good adult relationship with my parents. The waves of the after shock of my teenage "rebellion", are getting weaker and weaker, and they're realizing that I'm not the baby anymore, so I just wanted to be able to have a good time with my parents, something which many people can't even fathom. I don't have anybody in the city that I can really spend time with this long weekend, so why not tag along with my parents, where the trip is paid for, and I get to swim in a natural body of water (which I've been longing to do since June).

It should be good clean fun (in the words of my mother)

House by the sea

So I'm currently listening to Iron & Wine (AKA Sam Beam) and can I say how listening to them (er him) feels like home; like warm honey; like summer road trips where the sun is setting, your window is rolled down and the warm wind is blowing through your hair.

Iron & Wine sounds like all the best things in life!

Iron & Wine is my soundtrack for this school year; when I'm in those libraries that are so quiet its deafening, I'll turn on my ipod and instantly be transported to the summer of 1995, in the back of the car drifting off to sleep dreaming of trees, cool lakes, and fire pits.

I didn't know it at the time but those family road trips were the best times of my life (so far) its going to be very hard for anyone to usurp my family and our good times in the Canadian wild, and Iron & Wine brings me back to those innocent times.

Iron & Wine is! Just is!
