Fantasy to reality,

To state a simple fact, I miss this desperately.

What is this world coming to...

I know I sound like somebody's grandmother but seriously! I was talking with a friend in France, and discussing the finer points of French politics..smiling-Thinking how most French people when asked said they wouldn't vote for Sarkozy, he's too stubborn,opinionated etc..But, the fact that he was going to win was visible. Survival of the fittest, when all is said and done, people want a tough, macho, no holds barred kind of politician. Otherwise Bayrou would have fit the bill. Now we have a world, which has Bush...sigh..Sarkozy..in Turkey, well we can't seem to find a non religious candidate or non nationalist..both ends of the extreme, and well wonder what's going to happen in the UK, with Blair! ahh well, at least thinking of politics and all the riots we can expect has put my present jobless state out of my mind for a bit..

Small world...

Once again, I've been amazed at just how small this world actually is! Or are we really tied together with invisible threads, which reconnect us to people that we've met so long ago..People with which we have established a good or.. (bad) energy. I found a friend who happened to sit at my table at a cafe, a friend that I met oh..ten years ago, through another friend. So, we picked up where we left off..someone else to visit in Europe..someone else who agrees with me, that New York isn't someplace that you want to grow old in. But then again neither is Istanbul...but thats another story..

Nostalgia...

Okay guys,

I sometimes hate looking through old photos. I've gotten nostalgic for Sweden, but for the times we had, not just for the place itself..
Ofvandahls!! A must to anyone who goes to Uppsala, however I warn in advance it can become extremely addictive!!!

Everything comes with a price..

even freedom..With one swoop of my keyboard I have cut myself free, but what have I lost..financial freedom in lieu of peace of mind. Which should have greater say..Ah well I drag my stress around like a ball and chain. I need to like what I do, where I work..sigh..I've been spoiled I know. A wonderful friend told me to travel take photo's and write! Oh how tempting that does sound..to be pulled between trying to act my age (which I still haven't managed to do) and being faithful to myself which leaves me virtually pennyless..well, something will turn up it must once again..Live love and learn...one is supposed to learn from one's mistakes..
