back in the states
I experienced my first THANK GOD I AM BACK IN THE STATES moment this afternoon. (shortly there after though I had a “god I miss her” moment too) ug change is never easy… anyway lets try and stay positive shall we! On to the good news…
I was on my way to the DMV to register my car (my baby thats been sitting in my parents driveway for the last 6 months) and half way there I realized I had completely forgotten my proof of insurance. Instead of having to turn around and drive all the way home I pulled into the FedEx Kinkos that was on the way and had my insurance company fax me a copy. I got it within moments and was able to get to the DMV with a 5… maybe 10 minute delay. If had turned around it would have easily cost me 20 minutes… Its not really even that big of a deal, but man it felt good to be back in a place where modern conveniences are all around us.
I see now that I took so much for granted when it came to the little things before I left for the Virgin Islands. Its not that I was just over looking them, it was more that I had always had them around and didn’t know to give them their proper value. Now that I am back I’m going to try and appreciate these conveniences more.

As I know more of mankind I expect less of them and am ready now to call a man a good man upon easier terms than I was formerly.

Manuel you completely missed the undertone message of this post. Its not about “kinkos” its about conviences, modern life, and all that jazz. Get your head out of the sand and look at the big picture and stop nit picking.
