Farewell to all

Well... the only thing I can say after having the chance to live in Bogota, Colombia, is that I had a great time; after spending 1 year and a few months there. The people were cool, Bogota is a very big city (which took me a while to get used to), very nice considering that i was driving around one day and saw two lesbos making out in broad daylight haha. Hell Colombia is an awesome place, you meet and make a lot of cool friends..., COLOMBIA�is a kick ass country.

But like a friend said "all good things end sooner or later", I had already gotten used to living in Colombia, school was going shitty(my fault I guess), i was finally playing good tennis, I was starting to know people, and people were starting to know me; hey life was great. I remember the day, it was on a wednesday, my mom told me we were leaving, she was crying when she did. I sat there doing nothing , thinking "this is a joke, they can't do this". I talked to my dad the same day, i heard what I didn't want hear, I heard the same thing he told me in Venezuela. I thought this moving shit was finally over, guess not. I didn't go to school the next 2 days, what for, i was leaving.

I guess i never learn from my mistakes, everywhere I go , I leave something that makes me go back, friends, my dog..gf....etc. The same day I was told we were leaving, I had a stupid arguement with a person i had grown very fond of, I liked her, and when i say "wa ai nee any" i mean it.... I tried to apologize, she didn't let me talk, she didn't listen, i probably didn't try hard enough. I never told her face to face i was leaving, I'm sorry, but like i said nobody has to worry for someone like me. Especially her...I had a good time around her, didn't know someone could be so cool, so harmonic, so peaceful, i had finally found someone. Hey cya in MIT, you gotta take me to that buddha temple....

Friends, lets see, now that I've left i want to wish all of you luck; hope to see some people go to the States and marry their girlfriend and have kids and 7 bulldogs; maybe someone will become an F1 race driver; a 25cent prostitute in Cartuchos; maybe someone will create his own software company or go to jail for illegal software before that; an astronaut of some sort; a geologist? or was it a biochemist, engineer, or system programer?haha a lawyer?; etc. Yeah, well whatever it is, g'luck.

Time flies, people go by, they are born, they live, they hate, they kill, they love, then they die and its over.... nope it starts again. And the cycle goes on and on. You can't make your future, I thought I�was going to stay here in Colombia and settle down, graduate, I hoped it could have been this way and then leave, but no(who was i kidding right). It's not going to be that way at all, i'll probably go back and visit some people, i'll mess around there once in a while, but that's it, unfortunately. I'll never settle in a place, people say that it's cool to fly around and visit new countries all the time, it gets frustrating after a while,. Yeah i would like to do what my dad does for a living, but I wouldn't have my wife around me, i'd let her stay in a place and then let my kids grow up with her, yeah wouldn't that be nice...

I guess it's time for me to sign off 'til next time. Maybe some people will read this and get confused by it, some will understand it, others won't even bother, but what the heck...

We'll see each other someplace, somewhere, sometime, what do you know "it's a small world after all"

Peace,
