i had forgotten what vacation was. it had been a long time since the two of us had spent time together, so we needed to get reacquainted. vacations now are not what they used to be for me however. vacation is as busy as real life. you are always checking your work email, writing work reports, reading stuff for work, not to mention if you go to your hometown like i have, you are constantly visiting someone. there is no rest on vacation. vacation is work cleverly disguised because it is not at the office. boo you vacation, you saucy temptress with your lies and allurement of frivolous mirth. foul i call you...not like your cousin HOLIDAY. there is social disembarkment which knows how to enjoy oneself. this escape from mecca is definitely lost with activities still yet planned, but one day i shall HOLIDAY, and oh what a grand HOLIDAY it will be...

(I know this was goofy, but hey, every once in a while you have to let it go)
