Another month, another post! So much for a promise solemnly kept…
I’ll get back into it, I swear (here we go again)! Presently, my blog is plagued with strange comments which contain links that undoubtedly lead to malicious viruses and spyware. In a week or so, this blog should be smelling all fresh and clean. Wordpress will be updated, the comments will be gone, my photo albums will be working again, my links refreshed and my last music played should be displayed properly.
The reason to why I don’t post as much as before is simple: my life has been quite boring and ordinary of late. Not to mention that I have very little time on my hands. Lots of scheduling, lots of work, lots of studying, very little sleep. In other words, I’ve developped a routine…
NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Seriously, my experience in Sweden clarified most of the questions that I had been asking myself for so long. Not only did I find myself abroad but I also discovered how I wanted to live the days to come after my return.
- One simple principle to reign them all: never a second wasted. Life is wonderful yet short… so live it out!
- The real world: the working world. I neither want to do slave work, nor easy work, nor non-gratifying work, nor unimportant work. I want to be my own boss. I want to work in order to make a change. I want to make lots of money. I don’t want to live for my week-ends. I don’t want to talk about the weather in the elevator every morning with the lady that works on the floor below me. I don’t want to work in order to pay for my car which I use to get to work in the first place.
- Relationships: don’t waste time on people you don’t enjoy. Keep your loved ones close, the new and interesting in sight and the unimportant at bay.
- Love: life is nothing without love. Find love at all costs.
- Something new everyday: routine is to be avoided.
- Sex, drugs and rock and roll.
See that list? That’s what I wanted life to be. Guess what? My current life is perfectly described by the near opposite of what is noted! Well… not completely. I found love, which is absolutely wonderful! So I can scratch that one out.
Love: life is nothing without love. Find love at all costs. Mission accomplished!
As for the rest… well. I have no free time. I’m working for a wonderful company but as a lowly programmer with an ordinary salary. Just the fact of having a salary is a turn-off for me… dividends I say! I don’t get to see my friends enough. I definately don’t get to see my family enough but that can not be avoided unfortunately (800 km away). My big brother, the only family member that I can see on a weekly basis, has got some big changes coming up in his own life so I may not see him much anymore either. My days are already molded to a T before I wake in the morning. To top it all off, I don’t even have enough time for the last.
It’s time for a change. That change starts today. Well… next Monday. Maybe the Monday after… my dated goals tend to get pushed back a lot since I’ve gotten back from Sweden. Once I get my time off from work for the Summer, I’ll have more time to study, more time for me and more time to:
- bathe in the sun.
- read books.
- spend with my boo.
- shoot some photographs.
- see friends and family.
- eat out.
- plan a trip.
- catch a gig.
- river kayak.
- kitesurf.
- go mountain biking.
- learn spanish.
- learn to play guitar.
- think about higher education.
- discover Québec City.
- discover Montréal.
- enjoy Osheaga.
- enjoy the Festival d’été de Québec.
- enjoy life!
So there you have it. An incomprensive update of my slightly disfunctional story. Like I said, watch this blog closely. Should be much more active than it has been for the last four months or so.
