Kind of self explanatory.....
First things first....How great is love? Secondly, things are looking good here in Bangkokizzle. We just spent a lavish weekend in Hua Hin filled with crab feasts, loungin by the pool, and surprisingly some good movies. Yes, i did watch a few movies. See, I'm not the biggest movie fan in the world, 2 hours is a long time to keep me engaged for, so the movie has to pretty pretty darn good, if I say I love it. But this movie would be right up your alley B. "Safe House" with Denzel and Ryan Reynolds.. by the way..... Is anyone as good at their profession as Denzel is at acting..? But basically it's about Denzel who is the most notorious CIA agent of all time that goes AWOL and flees the country and starts selling government documents to terriorists all over the world. But Ryan Reynolds is a young CIA agent who has been in South Africa and stationed at at "safe House" (get it) But the safe houses are set up so that if something bad happens in a particular area the detainee can go there so that it is a secure location. Well Denzel pops up in South Africa and gets arrested and then gets put in the safe house. Wow the dialogue is vintage Denzel. He plays mind chess with Reynolds. And B, this is right up your alley. Good chase scenes, gun fights and a good ending with a twist. Wow...all I could think of was "Bri would be CAPTIVATED, by this movie." But we had popcorn and Mountain Dew and I was sooo pumped.
But getting to the blog... Things are going so well right now. Life is like room temperature. Things arent hot nor cold. They are exactly as I want them to be. I am not ecstatic about anything and I'm not upset by anything. A room that is room temperature is perfect, you can't even really feel that you're (proper usage) in it. It is like perfect harmony with nature. Nothing can go wrong in a room that is room temperature. And that is how I'm currently living. I am perfectly content. And I think that has a lot to do with my current routnine. Routines sound monotonous and they can lead to a rut filled life. But at Loyola I tried countless times to to find the "perfect" routine. Get up early, have great classes, get a ton of reading done, only eat super healthy food, find time for friends, play basketball, do homework, rinse and repeat. But for some reason, things always seemed to get in the way. I could never point a finger on it, but I always just seemed to point the blame on the college lifestyle. And even with the "perfect routine" never being accomplished, I was ok with it because I found the girl of my dreams, had some of the best friends possible, and had more memories than I know what to do with. But then coming to Bangkok was a dream. Things were much more relaxed then at college. I was the teacher, not the student anymore. My days are a lot more broken down, and I don't have the stress of schoolwork to keep me busy at night. Each day has something to look forward to. It might not be the greatest thing in the world. But it keeps my occupied and excited for every day. I think that is the key to being happy. Finding something each day that makes you want to get out of bed. Finding something to chase, because most of the adventures don't happen at the destination, but during the trip there.
I have fallen into a perfect setting for me that can allow me to workout, read, prepare lessons for classes and have introspective time to process things. The wind has never blown with such harmony. I can't see a blip on my radar. My smile never seems to go away, and that is how I like it. So I think that finding something to occupy our time that leads us down the path we want to travel is very important. And that can be anything from photography and reading, to watching movies or exploring. We all find pleasure in different things, but it is really about finding what helps you live in a room that is truly room temperature....
