Not that I ever will again, but....

"Grass is greener"?

One can ague that some humans don't look outward to other places in youth, and like where they live. Growing up I hated the cold winters in Northern Virginia, and longed for Florida and California and Hawaii. And even wanted to see Japan, literally as a kid because of the Godzilla movies. But even long before meeting Bob or John, even with Australia, I knew of Olivia Newton John, and never imagined back then, that if someone had told me back then, that eventually I would cross the Equator and visit the south Pacific, I would have called you crazy.

I can understand wanting to visit new places, but why would you pick one ‘just because of the name’?

DUH, FUCKING WIN......

AS IN EV O FUCKING LUTION.


The irony in my youth my reason for wanting to visit Australia would have been hormones and having a boner for Olivia Newton John. Not much of a reason other than liking her music. But knowing that Australians bothered to name a city after the scientist who put evolution on the map, and fucked up superstition, yea, I'd kinda want to see why that city did what it did.

I also, if I didn't hate flying would love to visit Hawaii. I wouldn't visit it for Pearl Harbor, which would  be a lagit reason to visit it. No, I would want to visit the same places that the Original "Steve McGarrett played by Jack Lord in the  Hawaii  Five 0 played. But I have no desire to visit Hawaii, just for the fear of flying. I have no family or friends there.
