Do what you do.

During any endevor we come across in life, there are good times and bad times. There are times that test our true character, and times that let our true personality shine. Relationships are the same way. Sometimes there are times that make you feel like the happiest guy in the world, and somtimes relationships can push to your limits. Relationships aren't hard, they arent easy. They are what ever you make them. And the endevors I am currently engaged in certaintly keep me on my toes.

There wassome misscommunication in a recent conversation I was having. The classic expression "Sometimes having fun, isn't always fun" was the topic. Living here is certaintly different from anything I could have expected. The college lifestyle ended in late may, and after 4 years of constant recklessness, poor nutrition, 4 hour sleeps, binge drinking, a ramped drug culture, friends always around, and not a ton to do...my life has been flipped around. In the Domicilian sense of the word, I'm not really having fun here. I'm not going out to clubs and raging my face off. I'm not spending reckless money going on weekend trips and packing my agenda full. I'm not always the center of attention and getting into all sorts of mischief. I'm rather staying in and focusing on the things that I somewhat neglected the past 4 years. I'm trying to focus on myself. Following up with goals is something I havent always been the best at. So here in Bangkok that is exactly what I'm trying to do. Get ample sleep, and not become a bi-polar maniac, stay in good shape and work towards a better fittness lifestyle. I'm also trying to make a better effort reading consistently, so who cares if people say staying in on a friday night is lame, I call it productive.

But I am not "having the time of my life" here in Bangkok, but I am having the exact time that I wanted. This is certaintly a relaxing life, because that is what I'm looking for. Sometimes just sitting back with a "cold glass of lemonade" as they say, is the perfect thing in the world.

Here in Bangkok I seperated myself by 8600 miles from the things I had been building up for a lifetime. But no matter the place, or the company, Jeff Parsons is a happy camper.

Eventhough our hearts may be apart, I think the influence and confidence we bring to each other is more than evident. I don't want to let you down B, so I have to bring my A game. No excuses.

This may not be where I pictured myself a year ago today if you asked me where I was going to be, But I think this is the place I love, and the place I need to be.
