Where do you go to get away from it all?
Submitted by Hops.
Interesting question, I guess it depends on what "it" I'm getting away form in the first place. I doubt anyone can claim there is one single, all encompassing "it". Today's "it" maybe work, tomorrow's "it" may be your relationship, the next day's "it" may not even be formed yet, but merely lurks in the shadows waiting to pounce like a cat... and a cat could be exactly "it" as well.
From the drudgery of day-to-day life? I hide in the World of Warcraft.
From the memories of an awkward past? I hide in gregarious and extroverted banter.
From my own inner insecurities? No place to hide. Not even the great Stewart Smalley of SNL fame could convince me some days that I'm good enough, smart enough or, dog-gone it, people like me. Luckily those times are few and far between. I know I gotz mad skeelz.
Today, as nice a day as "it" is, I want to hide someplace near the Canadian Border where there is a firepit, a stack of cord wood, a cold lake and a bunch of towels. Throw some brats, chips and beverages, and I'll invite everyone. Bring some Parrot Bay, pineapple juice, ice and "forget" your two piece bathing suit. Heh... I'd only invote YOU.
