good ol'nampa

when i think of the places i have visited in my 17 years so far on earth i start to realize how much i love being home in nampa. sure nampa isnt sunny and warm like hawaii, or fancy and famous like paris, but its probably my favorite place to be. we get a variety of weather, and the hot summer days make you appreciate the cold of winter, and the cold winter nights really make you appreciate the hot summer days. nampa is no tourist magnet, in fact there are absolutely no tourist attractions. well unless you count the warhawk air museum nobody has heard of but has some sweet planes that were in the pearl harbor movie. but the nice thing about no tourist attractions is no tourists! no people that dont speak the language wandering around asking some question nobody understands, i know from experience how irritated people get when you dont speak their language. so when i look around, whether i see snow or heat waves rising from the streets i know im home. im not sure why i felt like writing this, maybe because i know a lot of people that are desperate to get out of nampa, or maybe because i have been so desperate to get out of nampa but when i sat down to figure out why i had no idea. i may not stay in nampa forever but while i am here im loving it.
