It's been so long since I wrote a blog, I have a million things to talk about. I'll start with the most important thing on my list. In 11 days I was suppose to be boarding a plane headed for London, England, to spend 2 weeks with family and friends. Last week I reached the decision that financially it is not in my best interest to go on that trip right now. I had already paid for the ticket, but I was virtually going to have no spending money what so ever. I called the airline and postponed my flight, so they gave me a credit with the airline which I can use at a later date. I am hoping to be in a position to go later on this year.
Story number two involves the car I just bought. I wrote last time about how I bought a 2006 Corolla, well that has since changed. I was driving the car for two weeks, when I got a call from the dealership, asking me to bring the car in. When I got there, they informed me that because of the mileage on the car the company they were working with to get the car loan denied it. They took the car back and told me that if I got a new one they were 100 percent sure it would be approved. I kind of felt like I was being swindled, but I found a decent car in there inventory and it was a reasonable price so I now have a 2009 Toyota Corolla. It's going to cost me a little bit more than the 2006 would have so that is another reason I decided to stay here and get my situation under control first.
The third thing i want to talk about is completely off topic compared to the last two. When you are in a relationship with someone and everything is comfortable, you can say anything, or do anything around them and you know they won't judge you for it, its such a great feeling. Most people say the beginning of a new relationship is the best, because the getting to know each other stage is fun and excited. I disagree with most people, I think the getting to know each other stage sucks, because usually both people are pretending to be something else just to impress the other. A few months down the road when they really let there hair down and you get to know what the other person is really like, thats when things begin.
Lastly this past Saturday I went to a party with my new friend Aaron. It was a party at his cousins house for her boyfriend who just came back from Iraq. His entire family comes from Kansas and they all moved out to California at various points. I was amazed at how welcoming and friendly they all were. It reminded me of all the parties I went to in Europe, where people were just dying to talk to the new face in the room. I started thinking about how different people from all the regions in the United States are, and how much more meeting them made me dislike the Northeast states. As you know I spent most of my life in the Northeastern United States, and there it takes months or sometimes years for people to let you into there circles. Everyone is wearing blinders and only takes them off when they enter a room full of people they already know. Life is too short to waste it living like that in my opinion. No matter where you go in the world its the people you are with that make the experience either good or bad.  ¶ 12:44 AM
