When I first created this blog it was an homage to my travels and learning about the world, the title was a pun and I loved it, because that's what life is, one huge pun.
I went to New Delhi, India in February... I'm happy to say I went but I'm sad to report it wasn't as amazing as I thought it was going to be, at least I saw the Taj Mahal.
I learned that like most third-world countries inundated with tourists, respect for women is still at it's lowest especially when traveling, and hustlers are scavengers without regard.
In May I went to Shanghai, China, that was interesting. It was my first mainland China experience, very Chinatown, which was somewhat unexpected. I was lucky to have contact with an expat there through one of my program directors [ironically the one who I went to India with!] and was able to see some of the "scene." A bit on the expensive side but I felt at home with them and I felt they were looking for someone like me to fill in their token space. A blond-blue-eyed DJ even fell for me with just my winning smile, who would have known? The computer I'm on doesn't have my Shanghai pictures will upload later.
Now I'm in Singapore, going to Bangkok, Thailand, Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia, and Beijing, China, for quick day trips [who needs more than a day at these places?]. How did I end up here? Don't ask! Especially since it's not because I have the money, contrary to popular belief.
Today [in Singapore] I took an aura picture and it had a lot of white... the crock-pot aura-reader say's its because I must pray a lot....but I don't ! Who would I pray to? I'm not an atheist but I don't believe in prayer to any one particular G-d and couldn't begin to tell you how you go about doing it. If anything, I pray to myself. I pray that I have the strength to go on living this life which I'm so ungrateful for; compared to so many, I have it so good. I see it every time I travel when I see everyone's pain and poverty. I don't wish I had their lives but like most, I wish I had the lives of the wealthy, if only just to do all the things I love, and not shop.
I miss my friend, I miss friends, what happen to them? How are they? Why have we lost touch? Once we were inseparable and then time and environment changed everything. I want to go back when I was making my college decision and go to a campus campus and have friends that are inseparable with life-long college experiences. - I have a hand full at most of these experiences. I want to go back to a time where everything was black and white, life was easy, student loans were a scary fairy tale and I could go to sleep looking forward to tomorrow's lesson at school, what would I learn next?!
I wish one of the lessons taught in school were keeping in touch with people and knowing who were the ones that were worth it and who were the ones that you could live without, life can be so exclusive. I understand why there was a one or two long-distance friend rule in the past and everyone's life was in a village where you can maintain all these relationships at literally arm-length.
Dear Life, I'm sorry people are cruel to you, I'm sorry I'm cruel to you at times, I hope Time brings you longevity and prosperity.
