dad -

i ahve no idea what to say here. mom suggested i write letters to y'all before i leave, so to keep her happy i am doing so.

thanks for the help with everything. thanks for the patience. and for paying for everything so far. i appreciate it. and i know i dont show it all the time, but i try. so yeah, where to from here?

im not sure, im never sure, but i am sure that that is ok. i dont know need to know, not know, not ever. but i do have ideas and goals that i would like to see come to pass.

im excited about the farm. im excited that you and mom are excited about it and im happy as a pig in shit that you guys are begining to get out of the corporate cubicle commidified life style that y'all have been living. that makes me really happy, and the prospect of having a working farm is real exciting - cause now i never have to move out! hahahahaha. just kidding. or am i?

but yeah europe should be wild. i hope to come away from it with a fuller understanding of european history, eurocentricity, and international politics. also a greater understanding of myself and what i want to get out of life. and to learn, to make friends with european activists, to kick ass, take names, and see the beautiful and try not to let cities get the best of me.

i hope that you make that choice soon to head off to the farm, cause the sooner you get up there, the sooner we can start raising mushrooms and bees and all sorts of other yummy things.

i love you and i thank you again for everything. and ill see you in a few months.

with love demetrius
