World tour…
It hit me like a ton of bricks last night— in three months, I’ll have circumnavigated the globe by plane. How insane is that? The journey began in Doha, Qatar, where I hatched this wild plan to jet home for Christmas, or at least in the general vicinity of Christmas. So, off I went on…

Getting it all packed, again.
I’m currently nestled in a coffee shop, a stone’s throw from my now eerily empty apartment. As of last night, my housemates have all fled the coop, and tonight, the last friendly face on our floor is set to bid adieu. Soon, it’ll just be me, tucked away in one corner, and some mysterious soul…

Clutter
Is what’s in my mind right now… I’m going to be able to pay off all my credit card debt and pay for the various monthly bills while I’m traveling for the next three months. Not only that but I’m going to be able to travel for the next three months to Thailand (again) and…

Dreams
I’ve recently been struck with dreams that I don’t want. I don’t know how better to put it, considering this is a public journal and frankly I’m not going to describe them as they are about a topic I know for a fact I shouldn’t be dreaming about, but I guess I’m just confused about…

The Games…
Before I got this random email from a guy working for the Doha Asian Games, I had never heard of the Asian Games or Doha for that matter. I’m not sure I could have even found the place without Google Earth. I used to be afraid of change, I hated it. I couldn’t stand changing…

The numbers speak for themselves
“When you have enough time on your hands to write something like this you can’t be working too hard, can you? We did everything we were supposed to do, and then we did everything everyone else wouldn’t or couldn’t do. We decided all the planning that took place really did help us in the long…

Grandparents
I sit here listening to Christmas music, and it always makes me remember the people I miss—not a bad way, mind you. I always remember the good while I’m in this mood. Given what else I’ve written about in the recent months, remembering the good times is a better place for me to be. So…

A place for my thoughts
I was having a really good conversation last night with an excellent friend, someone whose opinion I value highly. They mentioned that while reading my blog, they felt as though they were intruding, almost as a voyeur into my thoughts. I know some of the things I’ve written here would normally be put into a…

Rules
Rule #1: Be Kind to Everyone Being kind to everyone isn’t too difficult for me. I try my best, even with those who may not seem deserving. Despite this, I find it important to continue being kind, even when faced with challenging situations. Rule #2: Help Others Helping others can be as simple as offering…

No means no… Right?
I try to approach life with understanding and forgiveness, but there are moments when my patience wears thin, especially with those who refuse to accept a simple “no.” Recently, I found myself in a rather absurd situation involving golf carts. Yes, golf carts. I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d have to…
