Cities are designed for effortless movement, the grid system easily allowing identification and travel. The grid system in New York being among the more famous, I've noticed that the farther west you go, the more the grid seems to break down, the roads curve, merge, and one-ways run parallel.
The sheer size of most major cities, St. Paul and Minneapolis included, I personally feel ropes you in, makes it impossible for you to escape.
I was worried about that when I was applying to colleges, that I wouldn't be able to escape campus and the surrounding type of landscape, in this case city.
I think what I'm trying to say is that wanderlust is hitting me harder and faster than ever before and restlessness will probably be my undoing.
I just need to escape sometimes.
"It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." - Carl Sagan

- I think about a lot of things, break more laws than I should, get frustrated with people, and love every second of it. On the whole I'd give life a 8.9 out of 10, the ending was lackluster.
