UK Weather knows how to seduce me.
I was supposed to leave earlier this afternoon, but the weather’s so nice, I had to stay.
The forecast for the rest of the week doesn’t look so bright, though, so I’m still leaving later tonight. I can’t keep up with your mood swings, UK Weather. I’m quitting you.

Out of the many “serene” moments experienced abroad, few compare to sitting in Piccadilly Circus on the night before my flight home to the US. I realized that this was the last thing I was doing in the UK after being in the country for several months. While sitting and staring at London’s world famous commercial district, I thought of all of the memories I had made there and how I felt as if I was leaving home rather than coming back. I decided that I had accomplished everything I set out to do and I had no regrets or “I wish I saw this town” moments. After reflecting on the past 5 months in England, I was perfectly content and happy with the experience.
The spot where I sat for nearly 3 hours and pondered my return home.

These are the states I’ve been to. Hell, this is EVERYWHERE I’ve been to.
This is even more accurate regarding my minimal travels.
Note that St. Martin Parish in Louisiana is split up in two because of a surveying error made in the 1860s. I have not been to the isolated southern part of it, just the northern portion that Interstate 10 runs through.
In total, I have been to 183 counties, parishes, independent cities in 13 states, comprising 5.8% of all the counties in the country, and I have been to the District of Columbia.
Overall, it’s proof that I really need to travel more. I still haven’t even been south of St. Petersburg in my home state, but at least I’ve made it to New York City, Washington, D.C., and erm … Houston.
You can make one of these maps here, by the way.

“Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution is pretty simple. It says, ‘Raise an army.’ It says absolutely nothing about race, colour, creed, sexual orientation. You all joined for a reason: to serve. To protect our nation, right? How dare we, then, exclude a group of people who want to do the same thing you do right now, something that is honourable and noble? Right? Get over it. We’re magnificent, we’re going to continue to be. … Let’s just move on, treat everyone with firmness, fairness, dignity, compassion and respect. Let’s be Marines.”
