Balance* have it in life.. Get out more If you stay in too much

Dave_19 · Aug 12, 2009

some times I just feel compelled to leave my house and DRIVE. You can never over indulge or lack any area of life with out consequence. You will always feel the effects.

Any way enough of that, when I felt of balance recently from being in the house too much, working on diets and routines I decide to just leave and drive... go some where beautiful and it fixed it for me. Heres a vid I took as approaching the peak of this hill, its about 5 mins from my house, and it makes me happy to be here.

I do this every one in a while Dave. Im about 30 miles south of Detroit. Farmtown, USA. Well, I head south down my town's main drag about 1 mile and take a right out to M-50 and just drive. You'll hit nothing but scening countryside and eventually make your way out to Michigan's Irish Hills. Very relaxing. Stop into a place and get a bite to eat. I tell ya, this is the best during the fall when the leaves are changing colors. It really does help take your mind off of things.

Nice bro. You made a good choice my friend. The jobless rate here is out of control. I mean there is no work anywhere. Homes are going for mad cheap money. I just seen a report on the news where a home in Bloomfield Hills (that's one of Michigan's "ritzy" areas for those who have never been here) was a $4.8 million home. It had 15 bathrooms, 8 bedrooms and over 12,000 square feet. It was selling for $800,000!!!!!

I had a lot of family move out to Cali. My Mom, Stepdad, Brother, Sis in Law, and Nephew all moved out there. Mom and dad in El Cajon and my bro and his fam are in Encinitas.
