I wanna go back
Ok, I know the United States isn't perfect. I've shared a lot of my complaints with my friends, but they're mostly government and political stuff. But I still love the land and the people from the places I've lived. For a person like me, with no race, foreign language or exotic place of birth it's the closest thing I have to a home. At least I know I'm just as much a citizen as the next guy, unless he's a Native American. And it's a place I know, I can walk around and blend in (to a degree). I know how to get around and I know how to talk to people. I've been away for too long. This place is just so foreign. I've been stuck in this desert for about three months now and I wanna go back to a place where people understand sarcasm! I need someone to laugh at my jokes, and to compliment me on my witty t-shirts. Plus, there's no weather here. It's the same everyday. Every morning I wake up and it's sunny, the temperature is climbing and the light is everywhere. It hasn't rained or been overcast one day. It's crazy! I can't wait to have some change. I want rain every now and then, I want some trees and some green and the people around me speaking english or Spanish. I want to see the leaves change color and eventually I wanna wake up to some snow. Plus, I'm really looking forward to seeing the river dyed green on St. Patrick's Day. I know that I'm not going back to SF but straight to Boston, and although that sucks at least I'll be on American soil and I have some friends waiting for me. My time here is almost up, but time seems to always drag by when you want it to go faster. I've got so much good stuff to look forward to, and it's making these last moments a little unbearable. Plus, after finishing my story I don't have a lot to do. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of guy who doesn't know how good he has it until he leaves it. I've always enjoyed my time in the States, especially when it was spent with my dear friends. And while I've been here I've been pretty good about keeping on a good face and enjoying all the good stuff there is here. But enough is enough and I'm tired of people staring at my choice of clothing. Just because I don't wear a white robe everywhere doesn't make me a weirdo. They're a little too breezy for me. Well, that's enough of a rant for now, I'm sure not many people will understand my plight, but oh well. For those of you who don't know I've been in the United Arab Emirates since Mid June. Don't get me wrong, it's a great country, beautiful and definitely worth a gander, but I miss my friends and other stuff as well. Well, that's all for now, thanks for reading.
