When it comes to friends.....
I don't think I have much to complain about.
I wouldn't say I have a huge number of friends like some people I know.
I do have a small group of friends at school and at church.
We are very close and we are the best of friends.
I feel perfectly comfortable around them.
I always feel like I can lower my guard and be completely myself.
Whenever I'm with them, I feel completely at ease.
But the last few years or so, I feel like things are different.
And I don't think it's my friends that are different.
Maybe I'm the one that's different.
Or maybe it's not that I've become different in some way.

If theres one thing that really makes me tired, then its the annoying kind of people you come across in traffic. Imagine a traffic jam on a road where you can take a turn every 500 meters to go off it onto another road, but also you can drive back onto the original road again. Well, and then you have these morons who keep driving off and on so they can get back in the traffic jam 200 meters further, making everyone wait and holding down traffic even more. But hey atleast they got their 20 meters extra, cuz usually they end up right in front of the car they were behind previously.

WHY do you do this, only thinking of yourself.

It's been forever since I've been to mailfriends. I mean forever. Those that I made friends with a year ago probably forgot about me. Then again, who could blame them?

I'm just moved to a new city with a new job and a new life. I'm now three hours drive away from my family, and I miss them terribly. However, I'm not going to return. There's nothing for me down there. All the jobs are taken. Those that aren't pay little, and I have student loans that I'm repaying. So I moved. Moved to a place where people are ruder, pushy, and just plain mean. I have yet to find friends in my area, and those at my work are keeping a fair distance from me as if I'm an alien from another galaxy.

In Britain there is a current trend to hate:
The "immigration problem".
And George Bush.

If you look back over History no one or no establishment has ever been universally popular but this isn't what annoys me. It is the narrow minded % of the population who are so bigoted and xenophobic towards immigration that it clouds their judgement. Sure there is a immigration problem in the country but it is no where as bad as it is made out to be. People tend to forget that Newspapers don't act in the interest of the "people" but rather print a story that'll sell. A good example would be the out break of Bird Flu with the Daily Mail predicting we'd all be dead come the New Year. It's now 2008 and about 60 people died in total (correct me if i'm wrong) and I'm still here.

I got old. Not old old. Not like I have grandkids or a hip replacement old. Just old.

I don't actually know how it happened, you know, I still feel 20, occasionally I still feel 5 or 6, but it depends - normally I just act it.

So, step-by-step I've wandered along my journey, not really taking notice of my age, I mean, why would you? You can take it for granted that it changes every year, that the wrinkles are getting a little deeper, and the 'podge' is getting a little.... podgier - why take time out to notice?

Well... this year, right before my birthday I decided to return to an old hobby of mine - radio controlled planes. Time was, I could launch a plane, fly around, wow the people around me, and land it relatively comfortably.
