What about your friends??

So I had a fantastic end to my week. I volunteered at another youth dance on Friday night for the local kids organization, SAFE. I have also met someone to spend some time with as a friend. A person who has some similar stories of woe and misfortune, but also the insight to look for the positive ways to move forward and deal with the situations life is destined to throw one's way. Today she brought me to Aleknagik lake for the first time and it was rather impressive to say the least. I also had chinese food for the first time in two months!! It was an awesome day to chill and relax and enjoy the company of another with no agendas, hidden or otherwise.

Good Luck to Palermo in the morning.

3 times and you lose

even when they tell you
the words plain as day
you just cant forget it
you cant let it go
you have these feelings
they must come from somewhere
but you know they are telling the truth
which part of you is lying
your mind or your heart
still reaching grasping seeking
something that may not exist
hung up on a notion of an emotion
one that cant be termed or contained
and yet its there and then
its gone
it never was
and it always
will be

shame shame

So my host family took me out last night for a "few" birthday drinks. Guess what happened?? We found ourselves on a 4am talk until you drop kind of drunk. The two of us moped around the house while the kids hounded us to stop being slouches. At least you can't get in trouble when it's your boss who gave you the hangover :-). I don't have much reflection in particular about my actual birthday. I suppose I have finally attained one thing I have always wished for throughout the years. That is to be somewhere, to be doing something fulfilling, to grow, and to achieve a place in this crazy world. The countdown begins and in 24 days we will be in Anchorage. A new page will turn on this Alaskan adventure.

The Rosanero are in a nosedive right now. There are 8 games left I believe, and they may be fighting just to stay in the league, whoa is me!!
