New Year, New News
So Its a new year and I think its time for an update. I just wanted to say sorry for not posting more, but since I have been in Sweden I have been pretty busy and havent had a lot of time for LJ. Right now Im back in Paso Robles, my home town spending time with my family. Boy have things changed. Everybody I know has changed and everything else in the country has changed. Before coming home I hadnt watched tv for 3 months straight so to come back and see what is in the news and what is popular was very strange. Politically and economically things have gone down the drain. The subliminal messages in commercials have become insane and rediculous. On the bright side it seems like people are getting pretty fed up with it and are noticing how crazy some of the stuff societiy is pushing on us really is. Im 21 now and its 2005. Time is going by so fast I cant believe it sometimes. I wake up and ask myself "where did the week go?" I never really thought 2005 would be how it is, but I guess you can never predict the future. I go back to Sweden in a few weeks for another 6 months or so and I still have lots of stuff to see. So far I have seen a lot. Ive been to Holland, Scotland, Ireland, England, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. I should see at least that many more countries when I go back. Seeing the world has really changed my perspective on life, but I hope it doesnt change the relationships I have with my friends back at school. I can tell it probably will though but what can you expect? Times change and People change. My mind has been haunted with the questions about the meaning of life, religion, the future, my purpose and all so on but it seems like the more I think I have an Idea of what the answer might be, I come to the conclusion that I really have no Idea about anything. This puts me in a very confusing place and I wonder if I will always feel like this, or if it is just a phase or something. What makes it even worse is that when I try and talk about what I think with people they become unintrestedor think im wierd because I dont care about the latest trends (mostly I dont even know them since I havent been watching tv) and they dont want to talk to me anymore. On a brighter note, I have a girlfriend who is going to my school in Sweden who is from Finland. She is the greatest girl in the world and makes me so happy. I think we are going to try and work it out but I dont know if I can have a long distance relationship for very long. I can never live in Finland and she knows that so hopefully I can get her to come here. I would never force her to do that though so that could mean that it wont work out. Only time will tell. So many crazy things happened this past year with the War and the Election, and all the little things that nobody remembers but I have a feeling that This year will be even crazier so there is no point to try and predict what will happen with our relationship. I would like to hear whats going on with all my friends so if you read this you sould post a little update for me or something. It would be great to hear from you all. I never really know what to say in these things so if you have any questions or anything and If I left anything out, just let me know and ill write you back. Happy New YEAR!
