Back home!

This is definitely one of those times in life I want to freeze. I am so grateful.

I have my best friends. I've enjoyed a fantastic holiday with my family. Dave is back. Everything is going well with school and work. I have 10 new pants and 3 shoes.

The only complaint is that I don't have money left after japan.

Tis the season to be reminiscent and emo. It's been some fucking year for me. Transfers, internships, pulling up my gpa.

There have been wars. Sparta moments. Questioning who I am and what I believe in.

2007 was the year of the Ian. The year the boy finally grew up.

Coming back from Japan I realised we've got to snap out of thinking we live in a small village. We've got to go out there and find out what makes us really happy. This year has been that for me. Making big decisions for my life. In a big city like Osaka, you're just one little shit in the pond. The only way you stand out is if you chase something you want, not something that someone tells you to do. It could be a dream to pursue your passion, to live somewhere, to try something, to find real love. Whatever it is we're sometimes in the fucking matrix and we swim like tuna fish in a school. We just swim and swim cuz everyone else is swimming.

If you're reading this, maybe you know me or you don't. But just know I mean it at the bottom of my heart when I say to go and fucking chase the thing you want the most. Fuck the matrix. Find yourself and be happy.
