I firmly believe there is a higher being that oversees everything that goes on in our lives. God (if you will), like Santa, is always watching. I have to believe it because someone needs to take responsibility for the ironic waywardness that is my life.

I will never in a million years claim South Carolina as home. To say I dislike the state is an understatement. Between the lethal driving behavior of its citizens, the shit pump behind Burger King, and the paper mill, I can barely keep what little sanity I have left.

I miss Ohio, because there was always something new to see and do. It’s got everything I need: A Best Buy, a 24 hour Wal-Mart, 2 baseball teams, good shopping, camping and hiking… The list goes on. Tonight I especially miss Ohio because Missy Higgins is playing in Cincinnati and Cleveland over the next two days. And her tickets are cheap because no one here in the USA has the slightest inclination of who the hell she is. I’m so happy that the Navy has stationed me here in Goose Creek!

In other news, I’m in the middle of Bill Bryson’s book, In a Sunburned Country. It’s got its humorous points and interesting tidbits here and there. I’m enjoying it. The chapter on Australian politics and the governmental system is particularly interesting because I have been looking for a simple explanation on the subject (which there isn’t and Bryson agrees).

Any Aussie readers out there have any comments on Bill Bryson or recommendations on other Australian books?
