My room mate loves me.

Haha. China often lets me use the laptop in the room when his colleague isn't using it. So I get to nerd out when I'm not in the business centre or on my psp.

Dragon boat race tomorrow... which I'm sure will turn disastrous, because half my team can only speak spanish, so I don't know how the hell I'm going to teach them how to row.

Its interesting to see how differently each of these guys carry themselves. There is the ultimate gentleman, the superficial snob, the super friendly guy, the loner, and the crazy shit. Yes, there is a crazy shit. And no one understands him and quite frankly I am tempted to put him out of his misery at times.

Hearing of how different the culture, society and sex in different countries... especially denmark... my god. I felt like I needed to run to a church to cleanse myself after just hearing some of the things that go on.

Crazy things happening everywhere... even here actually haha.

In 30 mins it will just be 9 more days till I'm home. Home sweet godamn frickin home.

Being here confirms that I don't need a luxurious lifestyle to be happy. Some of the guys really enjoy this place, but some don't. Some wouldn't mind coming back here, spending 10-20k for a few days... but all I want to do is do what keeps me going in life.

I think that as long as you love what you do, you don't need such a break. I mean yes, its good to take a rest every now and then, but you don't really need... well, this.

I'm glad I wisened up early and started directing my life into where its headed. In the future some of our path will be unfollowable, untouchable, and perhaps looked up to, just because we dared. Anyone can be who he wants to be, but only so few dare, and only fewer remember what it is he wants to be.

Music was always a stupid ambition. It never seemed like anything that could bring in the money. Perhaps some things that we enjoy doing will never bring in the money, like rowing or training, or fighting. But the smart man will think of a way to revolve his life around something that will accomplish both tasks. I pity people who always use ultimatums. They limit themselves in trying to limit other people.

But being the rebel that I am, I could never stand for that. Maybe its this rebellious nature that made me want to break away from it all so badly. Maybe it was ego to think that I could accomplish something more than the common drone, the common student, the common worker.

Being a game designer empowers you oddly. It makes you think that you can create your own game in life. Instead of playing the game that everyone else is playing. Ultimately we choose who we are.

Oh yeah, none of the guys whom I look up to here do anything stupid like smoking. That's one perspective to keep.
