August 7, 2005Dear Journal,
I arrive here in florida at 11:55 PM August 4, 2005. So far its been going great. I’ve been hanging out with Michel and Mai for a couple of days. Also hanged out with Leandro for a couple of days. Dang dont know where to start for this state but gut damn its very hot.
After a year of feeling free and lonely I can feel the happiness again. After a year of hard working I realize the opportunities out there. Work has taught me many values that I have adapted. On the 1st of August I recieved a phone call from Mai and Chi Hoang to fly in to meet see a present that they have blossom giving me that one light chance. After hearing many sucess stories of the dream statue that I have been dreaming all my life begining to move with the words they have whisper through my ear. That same night I got up and grabbed the earliest ticket I could fly to Florida. This trip so far is very buggy. I’ve been working really hard looking after servers and wishing that same dream whispered through words comes out through action. Sitting here wishing day per day for the 9th to arrive and hopping that one light year stands there long enough for me to wrap my whole arm around to claim it before anyone else does.
After a whole life searching you wish its the end of the searching but theres always that one glimpse of uncertainty that you’re not going to even get the chance.
Dear Buhhda and viewers of my journal, I hope you all pray for the best. I pray for that one chance to come true. I hope that loyalty, trust, values and entitlty dont past me by.
