Perfection is not necessary; there is no arriving, only going. There is no need to judge where you are in your journey. It is enough that you are traveling.

I´m sick

yeah, so I may not be in the best of moods.....or wanting to write much...my classes are getting harder...and it doesn´t help when you´re nose is runny, and you have a sore throat...and when you can´t explain how you feel to others it makes it worse. My host mom thinks I need to go to the doctor....it didn´t help that I told her I fainted a few days ago when I came home late. ok, so I came home from a cafe, and drank some coke and then couldn´t breathe and I fell to the floor, then I woke up 40 minutes later. I wasn´t drunk either. I think the gas they use in the coke is different here.....
anyways I have a mobil here...and I receive free incoming calls!!! (34) 66 2329 021

first time to a computer

Hello, from Valladolid...I landed in Madrid on friday, sat at the airport for 8 hours and then took a bus to Valladolis with the group. The city is beautiful..I have pictures but have not been able to connect my camera for some reason. I am still in the "getting used to" phase here...my family is great...I have 3 brothers here, the youngest is 27 and speaks english....which is great for those moments when I have no idea what is going on. The other students I am with are great...it should be an interesting semester.
OK, the women in Spain-Valladolid.....are GREAT, wow. There have literally been moments where my mouth dropped and I unknowingly made a gasp. haha. The clubs are great, everyone stays out until 3,4,5,6,7..8am even the older people. I did dance with a Spanish girl at a dance club.....I can die a happy man now....
I just had my first day of classes...this is going to be a very challenging semester...my head already hurts from thinking in two languages and even writing this blog in english is difficult...I am forgetting how to spell in english and I will type in spanish without knowing it.....i guess that is a good thing though too. There is definately something I love about the lifestyle over here....I don´t know if it is the slower pace, the lack of materialism or love of life the people have here. I like it, less less stress. I hope to buy a mobil today, I will get free incoming calls all the time so...haha ya´ll can call me....you can find great deals for calling spain...my parents pay only 13 cents/min. I`m not saying people have to call me, but I´m just telling ya´ll it is way more expensive for me to call people in the US
I am still a little overwhelmed right now, I will explain more later. I hope all our well.
sta lo (how people say hasta luego here, which means see ya later)

my first blog...

Hokay, so having completed 24 years of life exactly on this day at 8:12 am, I am starting a blog to leave comments about anything that happens in my life. Mostly, I want to use this while traveling in Europe and living in Spain for 3.5 months. How this blog will change is unknown. How I will change while blogging is as well unknown. My wish is that I will be able to share my thoughts so I can reflect on them during my future, but also for others to read my thoughts, stop, think....and comment if they feel so moved to do so. I ask that others use this blog solely for sharing ideas and thoughts relative to my experiences and shared momments. If one wishes to contact me, please use my general email, mmjoe12@yahoo.com

the the journey begin...
