West Virginia

I've learnt a few things in life while I was out of the Country.. You learn what you miss, and what you dont miss about everything that you know, and dont know..

NO milk bags..
I made a chicken.. Everyone loved it..
Ate.. Lebonese? Is that how you spell it?
Chinese take out boxes are so much cooler than ours..
The egg rolls are round and perfectly folded in the states.
.. Pocky? Its apparently chocolate surrounding non salted pretzels.. It was okay.
Kissed a sexy girl.. =)
Saw my first suspended bridge..
Got hook'd on RedvsBlue

You also learn where other people's boundaries are, and that younger teenagers will always be younger teenagers.. That older people, will always be older people, no matter where you go... The only thing that is different, is what kind of attitude is practiced.

You learn to hold your tongue about politics, I mean its not your country, you can form an opinion but keep it to yourself.. Its respectable that way.

While I was in the states, I found that in West Virginia, I can walk outside without a coat, whereas everyone was wearing at least a light spring jacket and calling it cold.

There are very many Americans that dont know what budgies are... ( which I'll be talking more on that in another post.. )

But you also learn that everyone has something in common.. They are all waiting to retire. Everyone in this life, spends their whole youth, preparing for the future.. But no one spends time preparing for the present. They are waiting for their time to be up so they can retire.. So they can get to where they want to be. But what about right now? I'm not where I want to be, and I have to keep pushing,a nd waiting just so I can start my life.. But my life started years ago, I've just been wasting my time waiting for the perfect moment, when everything will be okay.. Where my life will be set.. But then does life end once you've reached that high rise where you can go nowhere? Or do you claw at the earth, and claw at the edge so you'll never loose it.. Because you know one day it will be all gone, and it will slip away.. And you dont want to.

The general -"wearing out process".

So, in your whole life, you spend preparing for those mid years in your life where you get where you want and enjoy them.. Or you spend the rest of your life regretting things, waiting to die. I personally have a problem with this concept.. If we put half our efforts into preserving the world, and public services, and into society.. We might actually be where we want to be in the present.. But we're busy saving up money,bulding our skills, and busting our asses. I suppose thats why school didn't agree with me.. When it was a beautiful day outside, I was stuck inside, learning about outside from a text book...

Its like, we teach life, instead of going out and living it. Hypocracy..

Oops.. went off topic again.. oh well!
