Back 2 London

Hello all, been a while but hey I’m still here. I’ve been here in London with the kid (Freddy from Mirandola). We went paintballing last weekend, had a blast. We also went to a water park, which was pretty boring. But, after the firsthour I spent most of my time reading a book (on Che) whilst Freddy and his friend had fun. At the end they apparently hit it off with some girl, so I gave him some advice which actually worked out- I told him to tell the girl he liked that he had something very important to tell her and pull her aside, when she asked ‘what?’ ‘Just kiss her’ I said. It friggin’ worked and well, wasn’t I just the proud teacher! Heh.

Paintball was great too. We were with some hardcore London blokes about my age, all calling each other ‘blood’ with gnarly London accents and all from some part of London where I definitely wouldn’t belong. But we had fun and have the wounds to prove it!

It all started well, but since then things kinda went down hill. To be honest, I don’t think I was prepared to go back to being on me’ own. I don’t know if it’s just that I miss Jo, or maybe I just wasn’t prepared for it; but, I fell into a bit of depression since arrival. I don’t know. Trying to figure out what to do next can be quite stressful, figuring out the whole money/income thing can be quite a burden…

Sleep suddenly became such a great thing; the great escape. I started sleeping a lot, only waking up when I need to to wake Freddy up for school, to fix dinner or do some side-trip to the natural history museum (which wasn’t as cool as I’d been hoping, although I was led by Freddy who’s been there too many times). Man, I dunno I am figuring this shit out, but I feel that I should’ve made more of this time here. I just wasn’t prepared for the emotional reaction that took place. Eh?

I posted some vids from Koh Phangan that I couldn’t do before due to shitty internet restraints. I’m gonna post a few more on asian-soup.blogspot.com, which Jo and I are trying to keep alive. Which, btw he just posted a Bali post with some pics from Uluwatu, the coral reef spot (after my camera died). So check it out, and I’m gonna keep making posts there as well.

Don’t know what’s next. Oh well, fuck off for now, time will have to tell aye?
