Chile is great. I think I want to live here. I don't know though, I'm probably just saying that because I'm here. I do know that I want to be able to travel the world and namely south america. I definitely need to be able to speak Spanish though, and I'm working on it, it's happening slowly but surely (I hope). Suzanne isn't too happy about it when I talk about moving here. So I guess I need to convince her to move here as well. It's gonna have to happen anyway :)
I have had a lot more time to pay attention to politics since I've been here. It's really frustrating the things that are happening world wide and the inability of our society to know about it or care because we work too much and depend on it all too much. I should know, i live there too. I just hope that we can pull out of the direction we're going before it's too late.
Did anyone else hear McCain say he wanted to war to last for 100 years? (I'm sure it was all over the news). And he's apparently #1 for the GOP? Why do I find that so hard to believe when most of the country is Anti-war? And there's no way he took Arizona when he's open-border and anti-gun. I smell something fishy. I hope everyone at home does too.
It's increasingly frustrating to think about Matt. I keep going in the same inevitable circle: I miss him and love him but he still is a video-game playing pothead who never made love to me the way I require. And he doesn't want to move to Chile or anywhere besides Europe and would never want to live in the country. No matter what way I look at it, we cannot live together. The city drives me into a manic-depressive psycho, and he loves the city and doesn't want to live anywhere else.
And Frank makes me really happy. I have trust issues with him, I don't know why. Well I do know why, it's because his ex is always confronting me (and now my friends) and telling us these tales about Frank. But I have to remember that she is on probation for beating him up and her sister and close friends have confirmed that she's a little bit insane. Anyway, Frank's life seems to be going in a direction that is better suited for me. It's weird to think about relationships like that, but after enough being blind to the facts, it's time to grow up and realize that in relationships, you have to look at compatibility because that's going to last longer than the butterflies. Besides, Frank gives me mad butterflies.
Chile now is like America in the 60s. That is confirmed by my old man, since he actually lived through those times. So I'm really happy here. It's just amazing.
Peace and Love. Read the news. Pay attention and vote!
