What's up with Chris?

This is a journal of my recent life in a far off land. Things started off very difficult for me here, and only got worse when I left for Thailand and came back. I am hoping for a drastic turn-around. This journal will show whether or not that happens. Remember, it starts from the bottom!

Name:
Location: Canada

What I look for in life seems so simple to me, yet so impossible to find and hold on to.

Trials and Tribulations... and dead white guys

The rain has destroyed my phone and my minidisc player... so I am without music, and it's pretty frustrating... I need to find some little waterproof bags for these things, well, I guess not anymore. In the future though. At the moment, I'm using a loaner phone that is barely working. Not a lot has been going on otherwise, nothing i care to discuss anyway. I am wishing I had brought some good poetry books. I don't have much to choose from when it comes to good reading.

Nifty little tidbit of information

Apparently, and this should come as no big surprise, the rainfall and flooding that's been going on here the past couple weeks is the worst it's been in over 30 years. How about that? I remember when I once went to visit a friend in the middle of the Mojove Desert (I think that's right) and it rained there too... for the first time in years and years. I think I might be some sort of rainmaker. I dunno. Maybe I dance funny? I told some people I've been driving through puddles like 6 inches deep... well now I'm driving through rivers... yes, that's right, rivers crossing the street. I never know when my bike will be swept away with the current. Also, there are hidden potholes beneath the surface that would swallow a man whole. It's pretty insane, but as many of you would know, it puts a smile on my face. I've got rainpants now.

Frustrated

I'm starting to feel really convinced that I just am not meant to be here. I'm fed up with pretty much everyone. I'm looking for a new place to stay because things just aren't working out for me where I am. Really need to meet some new faces somehow. It feels like people are different out here, and it's not much to my liking. I believe that there are some good souls out here. I'm just not so sure the life out here is what I need right now. It seems so empty, so hollow, but maybe that's just me. I need to start looking in new places. I don't need a girl to be happy, though it makes it so much easier, but something I think I do need is a real friend.
