Life Back Home
Well, its June 25th and I've been back home 6 weeks. I haven't had a nervous
breakdown or been put or Prozac (yet), but life back home is majorly depressing.
Last time I wrote to you all, I had been back just under a week, and hating
it. Well I've been back 5 weeks and hating it even more, just getting worse. Feels like my 14 months on the road, is a distant
memory that I'm desperately trying to cling onto. It feels like Ive went in a time machine for 14 months, came back, everything
and everyone is exactly the same.
Managed to get a job in the first week back, couldn't cope just sitting
in the house all day, as much as I like doing nothing, been depressed was, well depressing, lol. Working with the
academics in the Glasgow College of Building and Printing, doing all the Student enrolments and stuff, majorly boring,
but its a job I guess.
Not been upto much, meeting up with people, showing my photos, telling all
the stories. Gets a bit boring after the 20th time. Its at this point where I wish I had someone who was there to look
at the photos. Its funny looking at a picture and laughing hysterically at the slightest thing while the person
your showing them too thinks your insane - just cause they weren't there.
Planning my next trip away. Managed to get to London over the May bank holiday, and going again in a few weeks. Still plan
to move there at the beginning of September, hopefully get a job with a company that will send me abroad. Currently
looking at working as ground staff, for one of the airlines, or been a trolley dolly - although not too sure about that. Also
going to teach English in Japan, is another idea
Loch Lomond at Balloch, looking north to Trossachs |

Where to
Next?????
Its Sept 22nd, and Ive now been back just
under 5 months, I think Ive got past the initial shock of everything, the depression, the where is my life going, it
went from bad to worse, but now I think Ive got my head sorted a bit. I've had hundreds of ideas running around my head. Move
to OZ, move to New York, move to London, go teach in Japan, work for an airline.
Thankfully I saw sense before going through with any of them.
Was also going to go to New Zealand on a working
visa and hopefully not come back. I had booked a one way ticket to leave in December, but changed my mind, too complicated
to go into it all, yeah I want to live abroad, but I got my reasons to hang around here for a bit longer. So for the moment
Im just happy floating, trying to get myself sorted, after 14 months on the road, and having experienced so much, I dont want
to just jump in head first doing something that may seem right just now but in 6 months time, be the worst thing I could have
done.
Ive booked a mini trip over Christmas. Going
to Thailand, Malay and Singapore on to Sydney then Bali, just for a few weeks, will be good to get back on the road again.
Well since last time I wrote, Ive just been working
mostly, chillin, drinking, clubbin n pimpin. Been to London a few times. Met up with Sam who I met in Thailand, also Mustafa who I met in Sydney. Maheeb who I met in Sydney came upto Glasgow, showed him the sites and Loch Lomond, and took him out for a proper nite out.
Went to London again for Sam's birthday and leaving do - missed my flight home, lol. Last weekend (sep 20th) was the big one. Headed
down to Brighton to meet
up with Dan, Liam and Chris. Last time we were all together was in the Viper Room in LA - who knows what happened after that

prove that. Bring on Amsterdam lads!!!
