Today, My Heart Swings

Today I remember Jon Krist and Tommy Myers

I'm listening to Interpol and it reminds me so much of the time that I spent living with them. 5 guys in a 4 man room. Who could forget that? Interpol also poses the question, "How are things on the West Coast?" So for this I will divert to Jon Ryan, presuming he reads this. Go ahead Jon.

Jon: Apparently it's on fire again.

Ian: Well that bring me to a new point. Why build houses in a wildfire area. The earth has a remarkable way of renewing itself. Take the four seasons for instance. a constant renewal. Different places renew differently. Florida renews itself through constant rain in the summer time. California just happens to renew itself by burning. I mentioned to Jon Ryan (former roommate who is from the Monterey area) one day that there was this huge fire in Southern California. He spoke to me with shoulders shrugged and said, "So what, happens every year" and never even turned away from the telly. Which made me think why people are so up in arms about it this time. They problem with last year (which is the first one I remember) is that people's houses were burning because they had built them where there are fires. So people's houses were getting destroyed. Go figure. I hear you can get some cheap real estate on the banks of the Nile too.

Also, in just a little poke. I wanna mention that Nevada cancelled their delegate meeting because Ron Paul had an overwhelming "Super Majority," and they just cancelled it. That sure doesn't sound right. Get on it, Cliff.

Oh, so I truly need your prayers at the moment. I just applied to University of Edinburgh and I'm really hoping to get in. Also, the more I think into the future. The more I don't see myself staying in the US. I think I would come back to Edinburgh regardless of whether I got into the school. I just think it would be a cop-out for me to stay in the States. I know this might make some people sad, but I must follow God's little breadcrumb path. So at this point, I think that going back to the States is a waste of money, if I'm just going to fly back. I could get housing here and work my butt off for the pound, since the dollar seems to be sucking wind now anyway. So pray for that. I miss my family. I do miss Florida though. I miss my friends there. I would love to buy a house with my mate, Cliff, since now seems to be the time. I just can't see myself still in Florida in 5 years. I can't see myself in Scotland either, but I don't think I'd be satisfied if I stayed put.

So that is my big dilemma.

So tonight, is the Barcelona v. Manchester United football match. I'm going to go watch is with some mates from work. I just don't know who to cheer for. Well, I don't really like Man U. because they are Man U. and they are also English, which a good Scotsman won't cheer for, but at least they are British and they are the favourites. Barcelona is NOT English and I can speak their language. (Barcelona is in Spain) and they are also the underdogs. So I think that I might go for them, but I don't wanna be the only one in there. Maybe I'll find some nice Spanish folks.

Probably not, everyone here is either Polish or Italian.

Oh, I wore short-sleeves today!!! Woo Hoo.

I'm goina go enjoy that beautiful Scottish sun before it goes away. Even though, it'll be out until 10 or so. Remember what I've told you.
