So I'm finally cured of pneumonia. Sad thing is, now that I can get back to work... my tablet broke. So sucks balls having to buy a new one. but it's a must i assume.

Secondly, I discovered that I need to renew my Spanish I.D. so that I don't lose my European citizenship and can't work in Europe where I'll eventually escape the fucking disgusting west coast. So I need to do an emergency trip back to Barcelona and do that. I leave March 20th and come back April 10th

It's weird going back to Barcelona. I've moved so much in my life, but Barcelona has been where I stayed the longest I've ever been anywhere. (5 years) from 12 years old to 17. So it's where I'm most familiar and the closest I can call home. I've been away from Barcelona for about 3 years now. That's long enough for time to do what it does to things and make it feel like a distant memory. Which is a weird feeling.

I'm incredibly excited to go, and will actually be staying there a bit extra to catch up with old friends, and see the sites, and generally disconnect for a while from the overwhelming place that is San Francisco. I have no direct problems with San Francisco, nor do I think it's a shitty place. In fact, it's got some great things. Overall, however, I have realized that it's just too culturally different or clashing to what I prefer to live with. So it'll be a nice break for me to be back in Barcelona, which is closer to what I'm comfortable with.

It's been an incredibly rough start to the new year. A lot of crap that I will NOT get into happened this past year and since the Ball dropped at midnight, things just got worse. On top of that I got dangerously sick which left me a lot of time to think about while I lied in bed... and that didn't help either. Apparently, mood swings is a symptom of pneumonia... yeah.... weird.

But now that I feel better, my head is clearing, and i'm personally sorting shit out. It's been really intense, and the doctor said stress was probably the reason I got so sick so easily. But I guess that's life. You hit these hurdles of problems. Jumping over them just trains you to increase your height. Soon, problems that seemed big before you hop over no problem.

Anyways, enough metaphorical bullshit. I'll see anyone who's going to the Tank Awards in Philly.
