Living like this is like gripping the wheel of a fast moving vehicle and guiding it's thrumming, voracious fuel-craving engine through the curves and obstacles ahead. The more I am doing, and getting myself into, the faster I feel like I'm going, streaking details past in peripheral.
Adrenaline is pumping decisecond decisions, and so far, it's compensating.
I didn't really expect that I would enjoy my life here. Had you known me even 5 years ago, I didn't expect I would even enjoy life period.
Now I am in control, for the moment, and I am taking from it what I need and giving back everything I can. I will take anyone willing along for the ride. If I can find the way, I can go anywhere with this.
I'm having an optimistic morning.
I ran my first half-marathon last week. I won't be ready for the Dubai Marathon on my birthday this year, but I'm doing a pretty good job of keeping on track so far. In just over a month I get to travel again. I paid off my provincial student loan, now it's just the federal to deal with. I have a place to live, and not only is it getting comfortable, but I have fixed my own plumbing, and have been fixing things and making cables for my friends to set theirs up, and people come to me for help with their moving-here problems. I wish I could take a masters degree in dealing with unexpected shit.
On another note, I'm compiling a digital theater library, and I'm very interested in any fantastic films or tv-series of any genre and any age that my connoisseur friends might recommend. Suggestions?
