It has been over a year...


I always go through these spurts of blogging I used to have a xanga site but that was a different time in my life and it actually pains me to read some of those posts.
A little bit about myself; I am 21 I live in Hamilton and I am potentially moving to this amazing apartment in Stoney Creek in a couple of months...but that all depends. I have experienced alot in my 21 years some things I am glad and some things that still keep me up at night but I guess that is a different blog for a different time. I spent half of my life in the US of A five years in cali and five years in Alabama and the other half has been spent here in Canada. First things first...snow was awesome my first winter here...after ten ...not so much.
I am extremely competitive in so many aspects of my life I play a bunch of sports my first love is basketball though after a few seasons of indoor soccer that may change. I just took up boxing and it gets out so much aggression and beating the shit out of people for fun is awesome. I hate to fail and I hate to quit I have pushed myself past injury to the point of stupidity but without sports I would go crazy and probably gain three hundred pounds.
I am a Christian but I fail daily but God is an important part of my life the only consistency in a world of inconsistencies
My friends are very important to me I love meeting new people and I have lots of acquaintances there are very few who I consider true friends but the ones I do mean the world to me.
I love the summer I hate the cold, I love music everything I do involves it I have to either be listening to it, playing it, or singing in my head (don't judge you all do it). I love photography I am constantly seeing things as though I am looking through a camera lens. I love travelling and I know that where I stay is always temporary. I would love to see the world everything and anything I think it would be amazing to have been everywhere. If it didn't cost so much damn money to travel I would do it. If I could just backpack everywhere I would the ocean prevents me from going anywhere exciting.

Well this is all I feel like typing
Until next year
peace

The good, the bad, the deported.

Well there has been an interesting turn of events in my life lately. When I moved here there were some complications with my Visa that I found out about around week 2, so I always knew that this might happen - but I also know that the Indonesian government changes laws every other day so the chances that I would get my full visa and be able to stay here for a year where equally as possible. Basically right now I am on a training visa which is a 30 day visa that can only be extended a maximum of 6 times. Mine has now been extended 4 times. In order to get my full visa I need to apply for my kitosk which is basically my Indonesian citizenship, unfortunately the government recently put up strict restrictions about foreigners who can get this kitosk, the government doesn't believe that I am qualified enough and has kept rejecting my visa application. Recently some English teachers from another prominent English school in Surabaya got caught with drugs, which is a HUGE HUGE deal here in

I am currently reading the book "Eat, Pray, Love" and I am finding myself relating to the author on SO many levels. If you have never read it I strongly encourage you to it is a good read, and there is a movie coming out starring Julia Roberts . . . Anyways, it is about a woman who decides to take a year of her life and make it her own and travel - something she loves. There is a part in the book that I feel is straight from my experience here so far. She is talking about when she was in China parents would bring their terrified children up to her to shake her hand, which upon happening the children would burst into tears. I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me since moving here, they see a buliea (Indonesian for foreigner) and bring their poor chid up to this towering blonde giant and make them shake my hand. Considering the size of Surabaya (it is the second largest city in Indonesia) there are not very many foreigners here. When I first came here it r

BALI BALI BALI . . . and stuff

My goal when I moved here was to try and update my blog at least once a week . . . I suck, I know. Things have been, well, interesting as of late. I am not going to go into too much detail but basically a vicious rumour was started by someone Kelsea and I had called a friend. Long story short she knew she was wrong and is no longer in Indonesia. Well the week that this all came out was a tad stressful so Kelsea, Tico and I decided last minute to go to Bali, this was decided on Thursday night and we left on Friday. Friday morning I went to book the tickets and forgot to book a return flight home (I am stupid I know). Thankfully our boss found us tickets to get us home, but we had to pay double for the tickets. Anyways our flight was scheduled to leave 8pm on Friday night, I was finished work at 6:45 and the airport is 20- 3o minutes away from the school. I told Kelsea and Tico to be at the school for 6:45, of course they were late and we didn't end up leaving the school until 7:20
