A Friend's Travels

My Ex-Apartment mate is now in Japan. (one of his pictures on the right)

He is over there teaching the children how to speak fluent English.

I am going to go ahead and skip over the "American Educational System will destroy this country" rant, and go straight to how my buddy Ross is one of the coolest people I know.

I cannot remember how many times I have said that i wanted to travel, i have said it before going into college, during college, and after college i have said repeatedly that I will go check out the world. In fact, I think that the older I get the more i get more realistic about my travels.

Before college i wanted to travel around the world, see everything. College I narrowed down my travels to Asia, Europe, Australia, and Russia. Now I find myself narrowing it down even more to English speaking countries only (pure laziness). Mostly I have been thinking recently that if i go to Europe that will count as my world travel. That is such a shame.

Obviously there are plenty of other things that I have said I will do, that I never did, but at this point I think travel is most prominent. I have been to about 5 cities in the US and a couple islands south of Florida. This is just disappointing.

I am not going to be changed now that i wrote this for the anonymous internet. I am not going to say that I will now travel. I am not even going to say that I will try to follow through on what I say. I think that in no way will I try to better myself because I wrote a blog entry.

What is my conclusion? Simple, Ross is cool. He has lived in Austria, he has been living in Hartford, and now he is living in Japan. Where he has lived is not the reason why he is cool but a circumstance of his coolness and I tip my hat off to him.

Here is a little ditty to prove my point
