The last thing on my mind

Yesterday, someone asked me, "So, why did it take you so long to get back to the books?"
For the last few years, I've been wandering around asking myself questions mostly and that has led me to some interesting places. When I look back at it all, its an interesting story- with the diversity of places, with different people, and some funny stories along the way.

But sometimes, I dont know how to explain it all in a new environment. How do I convey the background, my decisions, and the journey? Where do I begin?
And then again, I think- why should I explain? I am who I am, take me as I am right now- as you hear me, as you see me.
I don't really know how many friends I have taken with me along the way- but some close ones do remain.
I would say 2008 has been a year in transition. This year, I have already moved "home" three times. And there are still about 2 months left in the year.
Im still searching for that big idea- and there are so many in this environment to choose from. Im not sure which one to commit myself to. Whats viable? What will I want to commit myself to? Where will this lead?

Perhaps these are eternal questions. Perhaps I should stop being so serious and just pop off to bed. Go with the flow, I guess and follow the traits of the water bearer that my sign says Im supposed to be.
