ive been enjoying the new house. its taken me a little while to finally unpack some boxes,
but im happy. last night i went to travis and morgan's house to visit the dead christmas tree forest that they have in their basement. they took the time to go up and down people's different streets and collect all of the trees that no one wanted anymore(it had to be about twenty or so standing patiently in the basement).
it smelled like christmas. or at least the wonderful fragrance a christmas tree brings to a room when it is first installed. i wanted to put that fragrance in a bottle and carry it in my pocket always to remind me of the days right after thanksgiving where my parents, brothers,and i would drive to landscape adventure in aquebogue and spend an hour or so trying to find the perfect tree to fill our living room.

i wish i could figure out where my old self has gone off to.
maybe its hiding between those twenty dead trees.
or maybe my old self never got old in the first place.
