Random Obsessions at the Moment....

Finally, I'm off to Southeast Asia and to Indonesia.....I wrote about this a summer ago...but never went....this summer I have the program that I really wanted.....It's going to be great....I'm kinda person who goes off to different places around the world or travels to different parts of Souther States and poor regions to volunteer my summer time and this will be another chapter of that long historic life I have been living since my first time I have done it when I was in high school and my first volunteer work in Mexico. Little things matter, we some-times ignore that living the wealthiest and most powerful nation on earth has its fruits......but there's a world out-there that even little volunteering work-teaching locals on conservation can make a difference for their lives........that simple. I will try to write more on this later....

As any other college student, down-loading movies, music, ring-tones from the web is easy and a must :).....hopefuly they don't go after me...sh*t I only use for my own...don't make a penny and I don't share. Now, some days we don't get time to go out, in my room we watch movies that didn't even come-out yet on the net..use projector on the wall...again, don't ask..:) and I think I told this to Brian, there was two movies that came out a year ago that we some how end up watching and I have seen both of them few weeks ago and I will surely recommend them if one is interested seeing them....they can be find on the net, or U can rent them....

1. Quiet City: Which came out in 2007...
2. Once: which also came-out in 2007...

These two movies, although five out of eight people in that college dorm room did not like them.....I have to say they are great if you like movies that have some art and make you think what would you have done if that was you? Quit City; is about a young woman who came to see her best friend, but the best friend does not pick her up from the train station and it's late in the night...and she doesn't have money nor knows what to do! And Once; is about a wanna be singer living in Liverpool or Bolton, not sure the city, but in the UK and he wants to be a singer but never gets the chance...he works with his dad who owns a little store and in the afternoons he goes to stand streets to sing and make some money. But one day he meets this Eastern Europeans chick who will change his out-look in life and his music endover....both movies are slow, but make you think...

Wanting what we can't have, and having what we don't want..

This is another take to last post. I did read carefully to some of your comments and arguements on earlier post, from "this is normal way to feel from broken love in the past" to "you never love the same as you did before" and finally, "let the past go". Ok, but the weirdness of all of this is that......going back to old flame as I'm right now isn't doing the trick and she knows, things will for ever not be the same as before...no matter how hard she tries or others in between have tried...

SO, what now?

Right now, I'm in different mood on this way of thinking......I think its healthy for me......and be truthful about it. You can't really change how you feel and surely I can't have my lost love back..but still I'm wanting it to come back and I think this is just a human instinct.

One love at a time...

Never love one too much, if U don't want to not hate your-self later...Ohh how we learn these things with age. I have loved greatly once......dunno know if I will EVER love the same way as I did and nothing can change that. Others have the right to know.....thankfuly I'm blunt as it gets.

Those of you WHO have greatly loved once, did your second love felt the same as the first? Surely, mine don't.

Howdy..just came from night-out from Minneapolis with friends. The thing I love about Minneapolis is that even with its bitter cold winters; people here really enjoy their lives. Of all the places I have lived which are a lot, Minneapolis seems to have more happy people. I know some of U will just say bull about me saying that, but that's reality, but it's more about the city.

At nights, after 10pm Minneapolis feels like a dead place, where stepping outside of the bar to smoke or have a word with your other, U will find a dimmed lights of a sleeping city, few people wondering around, and for-ever feeling of a city which is some how at ease with it self and this is why I love Minnepolis. I have lived in New York as a young child, lived in Rome as a teen, been to most of the large American cities and in Europe, I can say Minneapolis has no equal on this feeling of a city that's both big and small at the same time. There's a feeling of nostalgic here, a great downtown of a bygone era, downtown Minneapolis has always been regarded in the past as the best city of all the cities west of Chicago & east of LA......This may not be the case in the last three decades, but still this city retains a magic that many cities that have came before or after lack, that feeling of a small community in a large metro....

Great to call this city HOME.....Minneapolis has no equal.

This is my party........

Hey all.............where did the week went? Man, when U have fun........days go by........zooom zoooooommmm.

My grandfather who passed away few years ago used to tell me and my brothers when we were in junior high and we were starting to get involved in school groups and into politics at very younger age to always know "If you become a member of any organized group, no matter what group, U will always have an enemy". He never meant "enemy" as "hate" by people who will have different and opposite views that no matter how ugly the discussion gets, they will stick with their "I'm this, your that". I do see this in myself, not that I'm correct 100%, but I see my views being 100% what is good for others.

U see, I love my party, the DFL, I really like the views of the Democratic Party on many issues, but it should never be made to seem that we are right and everyone else is wrong. Things are going to the tube lately, people with housing crisis, 80,000 jobs lost in last month, religion starting to mingle with our political system which is never good, congress seem worthless, now is the time to at least stand for something.....

Something that says........

Yes we may have different views, even I have different views from those who are liberals like me......but we still should have one thing in common......

This is great nation, how can we keep that greatness!

The day we come and do what's right not what's good for my party, will this be done.....without concrete political will of America's liberals, conservatives, and Indies can this country's ideals may forever be lost . We shouldn't torture people, the president isn't above the congress, no secret prisons, are all things that have always made this country different, but lately it seems that torture has became the norm, this president has more power than any other president ever, the CIA is running secret prisons around the world, congress is unable to do their core business, pork spening is out of hand, tax cuts are good, but I'm the middle class now and future upper middle class...and I really don't see why I should get a tax break, while others making less than I can't. U see, we should all be this together, or the social order is trashed....which will never be good. In a way, my grandfather was right, being in a group will surely result having another group which hates your guts, but can we some how proof him wrong that we are better than that.....
