You want to hear about how small the world is getting? No, well I’m going to tell you anyway. I have a friend from Spain (lives here), N who recently went on a trip to New York City. I am a Colgate graduate; that roughly translates to; you are abnormal if you do not live in New York City or at least the tri-state area. I happen to have a close friend L who speaks Spanish quite well so I introduced them to each other. I haven’t seen in L since he left Denver, back in February (March maybe?). However, it gets better than this. The other day I reading the news feed of a social media website (it’s not that hard to guess) and came across a message about another Euro friend D from Copenhagen. He is going to be in Bali the same time I am. Don’t know if we will meet up or not, but the situation gives that small world feeling. Especially considering another friend of mine, J has been living in CPH for the summer. Furthermore, I’m meeting CSers (in Bali, which is in Indonesia by the way) from Singapore who hail from India, Egypt, and Canada.
So what do I make of this…I don’t even know what to call it…scenario perhaps? Well I either believe that the world is about to face some crazy changes by all of these people zipping around from country to country, or I really need to stay indoors. Then again, this being my 19th move and the third country outside of the US that I’ve spent over 2 months in I’m not too surprised. It should be one hell of a trip.
In other news I’m pretty sure I pulled a muscle in my leg when riding horses because it hurts, and up until today I’ve been hobbling around. Will this keep me from my usual Wednesday shenanigans? No. I like the re-discovery of the Wednesday outing. It brings me back to the ‘good ‘ol days’ at ‘Gate. However, the music isn’t quite as good as the Jug. On the plus side, I do not have to worry about someone stealing my Northface. If you don’t get those references, don’t worry about it.
If I don’t come home, you know where to find me…
