Drifting

I was talking with a friend in New Orleans today. We were talking about the upcoming elections. She asked me what was going on in my neck of the woods.

The answer I gave was " I have no idea".

Here's the deal, I don't care. I don't watch the news here, don't read the papers, and don't get involved. Period.

I just don't care, I don't feel like a part of this community...and I don't want to be a part of it.

I read the times picayune, gambit, listen to wwl online, etc...

My heart just isn't in this place I reside. It's not New Orleans. I'm stuck in limbo and cling to any news of New Orleans I can get my hands on.

We are about to move to Dallas until we can save up to move home and I'll know it'll be the same there. I won't even try.

It was like this when I spent two years in Florida. Never having lived outside New Orleans, I compared everything to it and found Florida lacking.
