Ok, so I'm going back to my original plan of leaving for Arkansas on the 23rd. I begged for Elissa forgiveness and didn't seem to mind too much considering you can't really talk one on one at a wedding. Good point. So I'll be there long enough to see her when she gets back from her honey moon. I have pretty much everything covered with what I'm going in AZ and TX, now I just need to finalize what I'm going to do in Arkansas.
I have two columns, things I need to do and things I would like to do.
There are times when thinking all this out I feel like I don't have enough time and then there are times where I feel like I have too much time. I need to figure out where I am staying, and when. The lovely and dearest Heather (

mylifeuncommon) has offered her guest bedroom, so I'm really looking forward to seeing her and playing with MP and meeting Marshall. And I believe Drew and Holly offered up their couch out in Berryville, which is a little further than I'd like, but again, I make those kind of long commutes all the time in CA. I just don't want to overstay my welcome at either place. We'll play by ear I suppose.
I know I have to go see my dad, he's out in Tucker. I don't know how the arrangements are at where he's at, (ie glass or what not) and I don't know how long I can actually stay and visit him. But I suspect that'd only take a half day to do. I'd be back up that evening ready to hit the town.
Which I'm excited to do. I never really went to bars or socialized out on Dickson or where for that fact when I lived out there. It was just me and my circle of friends, chilling at home. Never really experience the night life NWA has to offer.
There are many more friends that I need to figure out where they gone off to. I'll be working on that list.
I'm greatly looking forward to filling up my memory cards on my camera. I plan on driving to all my old hang outs and places where I use to live. Pictures are very important to me and help me reflect. I love looking back at my life and where I've come from.
Lastly, I need to figure out another design. A tattoo design. Something 'Arkansas'. A tattoo I'll get out there to commemorate my trip (like how I did with NYC) and the time I've spent there. Arkansas is very near and dear to my heart. I've very proud of where I grew up and being able to tattoo it on my skin would only make me more proud.
I have a few long lost friends I'd like to try to find, but not big deal if I don't. I have a few of their numbers, but, last I left, we weren't really on good terms and I'm afraid calling them out of the blue might... be strange. One friend of mine, Jason Shock, who I do miss and left on kinda odd terms with (he had something against California or something) I'd like to find. I have a number of his (who knows if its still good) and I have his wifes (if they are still together) AIM screen name. I thought about IM'ing her, asking for Jason's whereabouts, but I thought that'd be kinda rude considering I'm not really interested in meeting up with her.
I believe I have a working number for Barchmonger (Aaron Barchenger), but last I heard he kinda fell off from all communications from everyone, getting into drugs or what not. I was texting him off and on last year, and I sent him another one recently, but I didn't get anything back.
