The plans for the future...In Shallah June 14th, 2007

I just got the call today about the apartment, and we have confirmation River Rat, I repeat We Have Confirmation...The mission is go!  I get to go there next weekend and pay out all that money.  Well, at least I won't be broke now.  I have been trying to spend as little as possible because everyone knows I think the worst and when the worst happens there are no disappointments.  So I should have a few hundred bucks left over, which will come in handy for the last of the bills here at the house.  I am debating on which caribbean island I am going to visit in November.  I think I am going to make that a yearly thing.  I hate the holidays anyway, so why not go somewhere warm.  I would go back to Bermuda and visit my friends there, but I think I want to see a new island.  So if anyone is interested in being a travel buddy, let me know by September that is when I am buying my plane and hotel tickets.  But I do have a friend in Barbados, so maybe I could give him a ring and let him put me up for a few days.  Thankfully only the U.S. celebrates Thanksgiving, so wherever I go around that time outside of the U.S. I can not worry about being in the way anywhere.  Just a regular day in other countries.  In March I am going to China, and that is a language I am thinking about tackling next.  In Shah Allah means God willing, just an FYI.  Anyway for a guy like me, God Willing is a catch phrase...The China trip is through school but it is two weeks, Shanghai, Beijing, and the Wei River Valley.  I am not sure if the Great Wall is included in the curriculum but I am sure it is since it covers a big part of the country in the north.  It is only 1400 bux, and I get to travel a big part of China.  I would like to learn the language, especially the written, there are over 1000 symbols used, and even more symbols that are not used anymore.  Plus my interest in buddhism, Taoism/Daoism, and Confuciusism will help me learn more about that since China has a vast background of religions.  I am thinking about still transferring to Hawaii in two years, but that is so far away I cannot be for sure.  I know I will be here for the next two years at the least.  Plus, I have that job lined up at the treatment facility working with the youths who have drug/alcohol problems next summer.  It is full time and I will be making 30K to start.  Plus it will be second shift which will allow me to continue to school.  I am going to hate leaving my job because I love it so much, today was pizza day because it was Anthony's B-Day.  It was awesome, we just sat around all day and bullshitted, and then on top of that the new fall schedules came out and there are only 8 classes scheduled for what I do, so that means I will have a lot of free time when I can leave early or come in late, I haven't decided which one yet.  All around, my travel plans, my work schedule, my move coming up soon, and few other activities in my future are looking to be really exciting.  I am in a GREAT mood right now, and hopefully nothing bad happens to ruin it, but I know something will, Damn Pessimism....LOL....
My new song on my profile says it all!!!  Ocean rocks!
