Remnants Of An Old Life

Fri May 22, 2009, 4:49 PM
The title almost implying that the life that I had back in Australia is shattered, could be... With time comes change and with change comes lessons, experiences and stories. 9 months after my last journal entry and without a single upload onto the site, it pretty much feels that the old life is shattered. Not in the worst way of course, although the new location doesn't offer the services of a civilized country... it doesn't mean that it doesn't offer friends, adventures and love. After deciding that I should take a break from the old camera and emphasizing that I should go back to the older days... The ones that I would go on always on a set of adventures and get into maximum trouble. Although... with time, that too has changed. Instead of adventures, you got a college with a knack of having the same behavior has the Roman Colosseum and trouble meaning more of either putting up with the shit of people who somehow managed to be alive for how many years without actually having a life and then judge on others... meaning also physical pain from accidents or the visits to the local orthodontist who happens to have his license from American and also my favorite... the lack of patience and the increase of aggressive behavior against "other" civilized and monkey people.
One the things that comes constantly into my head is the unwilling losses that have happened ever since I came here, especially between the loss of patience, old reliable friends and the "usual" activities that one can do in... other countries. Of course not all of it goes to waste, as I have acquired an accomplice or rather a partner... And Lauren was her name, a being that has showed many secrets to this apocalyptic country but also that has showed that even when you just happen to be in the middle of a deserted wasteland, you can still find happiness and love. My past experiences have taken me so far although even with an outsider's look and non-African experiences, life still takes unexpected turns and unpleasant surprises. One can only learn so much, although when the day that I shall finalize the required amount of time... in it's turn the experiences acquired here will be a useful tool on the rest of the world. Hoping that too Lauren can join me when I embark my ass on a flying vehicle with "civilization" written on it. As for the 5 years of fun, good, hate, horrible, love, friendship that I had in Australia and for the many lessons and experiences gained that are always contributing to my attitude, character and charm... well it's what I now call

The Next Adventure Is Set

Sat Sep 20, 2008, 2:49 AM
Okay, funny feeling that I just felt like to write something =P but on with it... the next adventure is set...

Apart from having no new photos to upload I can only say that life is ironic. It is your friend or a really hard slap on your face after being rejected by a beautiful girl that you said a cheeky pick-up line to. Not implying it was me.. I'm off the market for that matter. :D =P
Point to case is, I have a good house, more than decent clothing, stuff I don't really need, awesome friends, my camera and in between others my wonderful girlfriend :) :love:

Harare, Zimbabwe, South Africa. That is where my next adventure is set. Leaving this house and hoping most stuff don't get lost in the way there, soon I will be saying good bye to Australia for what it seems to be for the rest of my life. Not saying it was about time. Being here 5 years is a long time especially where most people reject the thought that you're not from here and treat you with a lot of hatred. Not saying everyone is equal...

I do guess however that Zimbabwe has being clearing up since the presidential elections. It is however a sort of end of the world. Nothing can be found there and supplies are non-existent. On the good side it makes anyone appreciate life like never before.

I just turned 18 making it even harder for me, I hate only relying on myself to get me through things although my family is there as well I'm sure that they will however make me learn about taking care of myself. Not to say that I will be pretty much disconnected from the world which at this point is not bad at all...

Apart from all that what worried me much is the idea of leaving my fond girlfriend behind for a couple of years but hopefully just a few months before she comes to visit. I have been in long distant relationships, yes I know they never work but she is different from everyone else... meaning she has religious believes tying her future to me, a true love and a lot of emotional charisma and my experiences and my family made me very loyal to the people I care most about. That's why I hope that after I'm done with this adventure I can live with her for a couple of years and eventually get married although not that early and soon.

I know it's crazy and stupid but in my eyes... well I don't lose anything I wasn't going to lose. I get a deep, meaningful and unique dream to hold onto while I'm off in Africa.

With that said, monkey boy is happy, terrified and fearful. Oh and crazy too. But love makes you like that and with her... I love being in love :)

I blame myself when everything goes wrong though and not anyone else... according to Murphy's Law =P "Everything that can go possibly wrong, Will".
Leaving sometime in October after the 10Th. The 1st of Oct however I will stop coming on for a very long time. For those that hate me.. bad luck =P

Farewell,

Luis
