HELLO MY BEAUTIFULS!!! in case you didnt know.. i am back in the US of A!!! all good things must come to an end like this vacational summer; however, contrary to one's belief the school year will be grueling and next thing one will know, it will be summer once again! Neat n Sweet, JR. prom, girls we are almost there!!!! we have passed the halfway mark and now we are working on that 40% of school that is left!!! woo hooo!!! So right now although its like 4 in the morning its only 11 in the morning in greece so me n panteli are playing power rangers.. damn the time zones fuck with your head way to much... although its great to be back here and see my friends... i still miss it there in greece...ever felt like home wasnt really home and that you no longer feel that what you used to refer to home is home? well thats how i feel.. and if you understand that thats super if not.. im sorry.. but like... the whole way back from greece my mother kept asking my brother if he wanted to go home and reminding him that we were going "home" and it had me thinking... what is one's definition of home? According to www.dictionary.com a house is.....
1. A structure serving as a dwelling for one or more persons, especially for a family.
2. A household or family.
2. Something, such as a burrow or shell, that serves as a shelter or habitation for a wild animal.
3. A dwelling for a group of people, such as students or members of a religious community, who live together as a unit
4. A building that functions as the primary shelter or location of something
while a home is...
1. A place where one lives; a residence.
2. The physical structure within which one lives, such as a house or apartment.
3. A dwelling place together with the family or social unit that occupies it; a household.
4.
1. An environment offering security and happiness.
2. A valued place regarded as a refuge or place of origin.
5. The place, such as a country or town, where one was born or has lived for a long period.
my point is that maybe home isnt really home... who knows what all my blabber is about.. i dont even know what im talkin about but its just something to think about.. on the lighter note.. becca and chris believe that next time i come back from greece im gonna be like engaged or some shit like that... haha what if i never come back next time i go?? hah! yall didnt think of that! The more i think about it tho... if i were to live in greece i seriously think my parents would be like disappointed in me.. like granted they are all like 100% pro -greek and all that stuff but like if i were to live there... then all their hard work to raise me here in the US and to educate me would all just go down the drain... not that many people know what its like to live in greece and how hard it is... ever since the Euro came along.. life in greece is expensive as hell... could you picture going to a bar and spending 5 euro on a drink? thats approximately 6 bucks and like 10 cents... or the fact that like people spend more than half there salary of like 600 Euro a month on like cigarettes and Drinking... thats horrible... the other thing is that its not like both women and men work there... i mean dont get me wrong in some of the bigger cities in greece or whatever both the husband and wife work... but when you get to the villages and stuff the man does all the working, going out and enjoying himself while the woman just stays home watches the kids, cleans and cooks... would i really want to subdue myself to that kind of shit? People there are soo lazy... i mean school there is such a joke.. would i want to send my kids there so that they could accomplish nothing? Despite all this talk about the negatives of greece... i still find myself wanting to live there... whether it is in the little village of tholopotami or if its in the city of Xora... i think if i really want to live there i can make something out of it... even tho it wont really require a college degree or what not...if there is a will there is a way.. and i think i am willing.. im sure this doesnt mean much to alot of yous but it doesnt really matter because i just need to put all my thoughts down...
on a lighter note.. i think im gonna get a job but i dont know where... and i dnot think i am gonna play basketball because with my job i am hoping to be able to pay for a ticket to greece next summer... yeah that would be frickin awesome... i could go from canada straight to greece... ahh just thinking about it gets me all excited!!! woohoo!!! i also need to take drivers ed sometime soon because im 16 and no liscence... kinda sucks but whatever its not like ill have a car anyways.... so enough mumble jumble... i really didnt expect for this too be that long but i guess me just rambling on at like 4:30 in the mroning can do that to you....
JUST MAYBE IM CRAZY THE WORLD SPINS ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND!!!!
FILAKIA!!!
