Sometimes I don’t even remember that it has not yet been a full year since I started this blog. I have been blogging in one way for a long time, my friends can be a testament to the fact that when I write an e-mail it tends to be a little lengthy. Even when I talk, I tend to just go on and on and on… But they love me anyways and put up with the length of my communications.

I used to send a Christmas email as well as a New Years one recounting several events that took place during the year. I wonder if anyone still has one of those in their inbox… if you do send it to me. I don’t think I ever did a thanksgiving email but I want to take an opportunity to express how thankful I am.

First I want to thank God. God has been good to me this year, opening my eyes to a lot of my mistakes. Guiding me through very difficult times and giving me hope for the future. God also did something wonderful by putting my girlfriend in my path. Without her a lot of the happiness I have now would not be here.

I am very thankful for my best friend Bogi. I could not have had a better friend in the difficult times that I faced this year. For keeping me centered and going when I needed it most and also standing behind every decision wrong or right. For being a friend that I know has my back.

To the coworkers that became my friends, something I thought I would never find again. Thank you, it was rough being in a new place, but I now feel home.

To my online friends, wow what would I have done without you guys… you keep me thinking that what I write is interesting enough to read, and have debated with me on levels that opened up my view to new ideas and ways of thinking. Thanks for all the support.

I was kind of hanging out with friends and watching the game Pistons vs. Pacers game out of the corner of my eye. When I noticed that something had happened, and well what it looked like just a little fight started. » Read the rest of the entry..

Feeling your heart beating
Was a wonderful experience
Giving my life new meaning
Just from being in your presence

Having you by my side
Has made my dreams come true
Those that I had to hide
Now many dreams anew

Meeting you was not chance
But it felt rather like destiny
I want to take you to that dance
The dance that will last an eternity

Much like the air I am breathing
Without you there is no life
That is why every day I am dreaming
Of the moment you become my wife

I have been an avid videogame player since I was about 8 years old. My Dad took me to an arcade and I immediately fell in love with that little TV that I can make things move in. Video games evolved quite a bit since back then, almost like right before my eyes. I feel my generation got to see a very awesome progression on technology and with computer power evolving at the rate it does now days we get to see changes that affect society happen right before our eyes. » Read the rest of the entry..

Well, this has been an interesting experience for me. I have always tried to be polite and not get into any problems with any of my neighbors. Growing up, neighbors knew each other and were part of each other’s lives in many senses. Now days you are lucky if you know the names of the people you live around. I guess it is a matter of taking the initiative and making friends with people but who wants to after an experience like this. » Read the rest of the entry..
