Hello! I finally thought I'd catch up with the rest of you and make a journal. What did I do today? I worked on the mural I've been doing lately and i wanted to smash the wall with a sledge hammer today. But, I got over the hump, and I only have about 5 more hours to work on it. It's looking decent. The lady I'm doing this for is really getting to me. I don't think I ever want to work for a woman. Not this one anyway.
I'm going away for 62 days, Mom counted. Weirdo. I'll miss home, and a lot of things and people at home. Mostly cold food and drink, like Orange Juice. Bed's will be missed, and the news and my cat and dog, Onyx and Casey respectively. This trip it's going to do a lot for me I think. Hopefully my mind will be clear when I get back. Probably not, though. My thoughts will be clouded by my craving for the United States. Although, a part of me wants to stay out of here forever.
I got home at 5am last night. I think it's far better to fall asleep with the birds chirping and the sun coming up than to wake up to it. I feel like you've lived a little bit more. I got to experience something sane people don't. I don't know what I'll do tonight. Time's running out, but I'm in no rush.
Some people don't listen or read the lyrics to their favorite songs. I'd almost rather read the lyrics than hear the song itself. Almost, but not quite. You know a song really means something to you if you get that quiet thinking feeling when you read it.
Tomorrow I will become a recertified lifeguard. I miss the kiddies. Most of all, I miss the swim lessons. Teaching these little ones something they're dying to do, but are terrified to try is an incredible feeling. Do you remember when it was scary to put your ear in the water, let alone your WHOLE face?! These guys are living it. They lived in water for 9 months, I just don't understand it. I love the water now. I go absolutley insane, for all those who haven't experienced me this way, if I'm not near water at some point in the week. Pool, creek, river, ocean, whatever. Mostly the pool, with the swimming for college and all. Oddly enough, I can't wait to start training (aka, destroyed every inch of my energy I have). It feels good, no matter how tired and painful it is. Hard to put into words.
I bet I could go on forever on this thing. Typing makes things a lot easier. I can sit and hand write in a journal for an hour, imagine what I can do on this thing for an hour. I don't know how often I'll do this.
You know the weirdo you are with your family? Especially the ones your age? I like people that aren't your family that you can be that way with. It's rare. Canada said today, on the news, that it's better for your brain to to bilingual. OOOOh Canada. Rock on.
