What to do?

The title of this post is a question that I have to ask myself almost everyday. It starts off as a grand list of doing work or something productive, that soon withers down to me sitting down in front of the TV and playing Wii.

In my parents eyes summer = go do something productive. I tend to disagree. I just want to do what I want everyday with out someone telling me what to do. I'm guessing that living alone has greatly influenced my current thinking. Therefore everyday I have my parents telling me to do something, get a job, go do community service, get off the computer!

All of those are good suggestions and I'm probably just lazy. Then again those words are really easy to say but not so easy to carry out (well some of them). How am I going to get a job in HK that benefits my chosen field without a degree first? Seems slightly impossible for me. Sure I could grab some part time job, it doesn't do anything for me in the long run. I probably need a resume too...gotta get working on that.

I also have a few books piled up here, most of them fall in to the 'self-help' category that my dad loves to buy. I wonder if he read any of them, they look like they haven't been open in years. Especially 'Rich dad, poor dad', I've been avoiding that book like the plague for over 6 years. I believe that concepts don't make sense to me because I've still to receive my first paycheck. How can that book help me when I'm not even at that stage of life yet? I'm sure the book will be more helpful later on in life.

All the talk aside I still need to find something to do. Maybe tomorrow I'll go to the library and sit there reading comics...pick up a new novel is what I mean.

So far...

Been a while since my last post, I've somehow transported over 800 miles across the Atlantic ocean and now I'm in Hong Kong. The trip and the past few weeks have been quite calming and nostalgic, I've been having a lot of fun.

Before I continue theres one issue that keeps jumping up and down in front of me like a hyperactive child on an IV of glucose... If you want to say something about someone, don't tell it to the public using a simple code. A code that's extremely easy to figure out. The person really wanted to say the phrase, but knew it may hurt someone and so tried to hide it. People are not dumb, its worse if they figure it out.

Random babble aside, I've been reading a lot of manga. Nothing too action oriented, I prefer stories that are just slices of life. Stir in a bit of comedy and romance and you'll have the perfect formula to make me feel fuzzy and warm. Current favorites consists of Ai Kora and Rec.

The weather (ha ha I'm talking about the weather now) is very unforgiving, humidity is a killer of good moods. Even movement is limited due to sticky skin. I guess thats just one thing that makes HK so special, I went to the peak to visit my friend and the fog up there made the scene look like it came from Silent Hill (all it needed were some hellish creations).

Currently I'm still waiting for a few of my friends to get back, I can't wait to just fool around and relive the old days. We've even made a list.

I wish I could do something useful though...
