Side Note; oct. 1, 2010

Something just came to my mind recently:  I'm sure people are all wandering whether I miss my family, my friends, my house, all that stuff.  Here, people ask me all the time if i miss my family.  Well, here's the answer.  Honestly, no, I don't really miss anything, or at least like maybe people think I would.  In my experience, the only time I (or maybe anybody) miss something, is when I can't have it.  For example, if I'm really freakin hungry, I could really go for some american pizza, or peanut butter, or something like that.  Or, maybe, just for a second, I could go for a turkey sandwich.  But, to me, do I miss these things?  No, not really.  As far as people go, here's how it is. (again, just for me, it's different for everyone I think) In one little instance, I really wouldn't mind hanging out with one of my friends.  Or, maybe if in a certain situation, I might think "so-and-so would really dig this."  As far as family goes, well, I think about my family occasionally, but I really don't miss any of them.  Of course, it's good to talk to them and hear from them.  I think as a whole, there are only maybe 4 things that I "miss" from the states: My amp, peanut butter, american pizza, and driving.  It isn't a problem at all for me not to have these things, but it certainly would be nice to have them.  I think that in general, people miss home the most when they are bored, unhappy, or (this one might be the most important) refuse to adapt to their new surroundings.
