I had been wanting to visit Europe ever since I was a little boy and was unable to.Instead I left my native country barely a young adult to come here(Toronto).I've been to the States several times and have visited a few African countries(Burundi,Congo,Uganda,Kenya).
Each time I'd come back a changed man.For instance the 1st trip back to Africa made me realize how short and priceless life is and I came out to pretty much to everyone in my familly which wholefully changed my life.
This summer I went to Europe and I visited France,Germany and Belgium(where I have relatives) and I can't believe how much perspective that experience trew my way.I came back to Toronto and...well...without saying much,let's just say that I left my former job that I had for four years for a new one,which pays me better and allows me to explore other horizons.
So in the words of Shaggy,I'll sum it up as follow:
"I guarantee you that if half of the people in America used their passports a little bit more and travelled to countries like Afghanistan, Cairo and Dubai, (U.S. President George W.) Bush wouldn't have won and we wouldn't be in this situation."

Life so far
To Everyone reading this post,
How's life treating y'all? I, for the most part,am enjoying every bit of it,although at times I feel like time has stopped and I'm in this really big black hole where everything is spinning over my head and then I tell myself that it must be what everyone feels at my age.You know,mid to late twenties,stuck at a job that I hate,single and still looking!!
Of course I wake up and realize that it wasn't a bad dream but actually my life so far. I pick up the phone and call my parents on the other side of the globe just to keep my self sane and you know re-connect with my roots. We talk for hours and after that,bam!! My bad dream resumes where it left off...
You're probably wondering which part of my life I actually enjoy as I claimed.Well,here it is...
I then realize that I share my apartment with my sisters and brother whose faces and voices actually make my days brighter and nights shinier and I take a look at myself in the mirror and say"...well,you know what,kid? You ain't got it so bad after all." And I rejoyce.
Of course by then I don't feel pitiful anymore and I call my friends and we get back at it.Party that is!!!
Life should be about that,don't you agree?Enjoyable and not every single one second of it wasted on negative thoughts and/or action.But spent as if it were the last second.After all we can never get back that one second,now can we?
So folks,until I talk to you next time.How about you promise me to enjoy your lives just the same as I enjoy mine?If not more!
Come to think of it,life so far isn't that bad...
