You like music? I do... particularly smooth jazz. In my twenty-four years of existence in this world I've listened to almost all kinds of music... from the oldies (songs from the 60's down), to rap, to metal, to mellow, to pop, to a whole bunch of other stuff. But I seem to have fallen totally in love with smooth jazz... somehow, it soothes and relaxes me. It's very, should I say "light".
Sigh... twenty-four years...
Twenty-four years is no short while.
I remember looking forward to the day I would finish college when I was still very young. It took me 17 years of homeworks, projects, and exams to get there. Now it's been almost a year since that happened. Before that, I had always been very excited about going out into the real world and be counted as one of the "warriors of the concrete jungle" and get myself employed and mold my own future. Unfortunately, things aren't going very well right now.
In that twenty-four years I have learned countless things, most of which I now take for granted and some I still can't believe I can do. These include valuable things and some things that one would learn just for "fun". My craving for knowledge is now bigger than it has ever been, which is rather ironic because I never really liked going to school when I was younger, and I have never had much interest in what was being taught in school. College was an exception though.
With my tremendous craving for new knowledge grows my desire for new experiences, may it be doing new things, or as simple as trying out a new dish. Three things that are on top of my "wish I can do these before I die" list are: bungee-jumping, sky-diving, and hang-gliding. As I always say, I would try anything at least once when given the chance. And if I like it, I'll do it again.
But not so many opportunities have come my way... sigh... maybe someday.
Do I tell you how I look like? Do I tell you what place I'm from? Do I tell you about my life, and the place which I call my home? Do I tell you what I've been through, and what I'm looking forward to? Do I tell you what books I read, and what music I listen to?
These I consider unimportant, and I'd rather leave out. I am human... just like you and just like anybody else.
