8 Months
So here I am sitting in the internet cafe beside my house, 8 months into my Vietnam trip.
I am happy, because I have tons of free time, I'm finally making money, I have all the luxuries of home and sometimes more (but I realy really really miss going to shows...not seeing a live band in 8 months is killing me).
I have been dating a few girls here and there, many that dont speak english, which seems completely retarded, but obviously it can work.
I live in a nice house, but unfortunately my room mates are arent the best people to live with. I bought a TV, so it seems that I cannot use the livingroom if they are home, or if they dicide to take a nap. There are three people living in the house, but I pay for half of everything... In the kitchen, there was no room made for any of my dishes, or room made in the fridge for my food. So I cook in my room, and I have 2 mini fridges in there too. Clearly I am renting a room in this house, instead of sharing the house.
I found a really nice apartment in an apartment building. 2 bedrooms, on the 15th floor, for 600 bucks a month. My rent in Toronto was $550 for a one bedroom basement that I shared with an old man, and a crazy old lady that helped herself. I am debating whether or not to take this apartment. It is really beautiful, AND comes fully furnished. I will look around somemore, and see what I can find, but if I cant find anything, I am taking this, and I know I will be happy. I FUCKING hate living with other people, and playing by their rules. I want my own kitchen, so I dont have cockroaches, ants, and geckos running all over the place...I want a livingroom so I dont have to sit in my bedroom all teh time....
School is getting much better. I just got a new schedule for next week, and I have 29.75 hours. I hope it stays thats that way. This way I will have money and free time.
When Sean left for Canada, he left me his computer, minus the hard drive. I bought a 120GB hard drive, brand new in the box, for 85 bucks. Samsung ATA 300, 7200 rpm, so its a decent drive for sure. All i need now is internet at home.
I have been thinking a lot lately about kids.... and wanting one of my own. But then I look at all the girls I like, and know that I am not ready to settle down. Nor have I met the girl that I want to start a family with.
I wrote about a girl name Tam before, and how I thought she might be the one. We have had dinner a few times, shes came to Huys house with me and met my friends, came to my house and hung out, and nothings happened. I dont know if anything will, but after talking to her about her goals and her family, I dont think shes the one. First off, she doesnt want to leave vietnam. So who knows...
In February I was down to 209 pounds, and really happy with my shit. March 12th I moved into my new house, and I stopped going to the gym, and started on a terrible path. Eating BAD food, and just getting back into the bad habits of before. Coke, chocolate, ice cream, cereal, milk, butter, mayo..... so now I am up to 225LBS again. Didnt take long to put it all back on. I have been taking "prednisone" to help with my sinuses, and this also helps you gain weight. So with being really fucking lazy and the medication, I have ballooned again. On Sunday I start at a new gym, with a personal trainer and a very specific diet. I will be 185lbs for Christmas. This is my goal.
