There are a few places around the world that I would love to go and visit before my vital organs cease to function any longer and I die. I would love to live in Costa Rica (Spanish for ‘Rich Coast’) for a while. I could get stay in some Costa Rica vacation rentals and just hang out on the beach everyday and read classics like ‘War and Peace’ and ‘The Iliad’. When I’m done reading, I could slip back into my Costa Rica vacation rentals and snooze, maybe play some guitar. I’ll have to run this plan by my wife when I get home.

Another place that I would love to go is India. Maybe I’ll hit Goa, or maybe Calcutta. That would be a good time. I love Indian food, so I can only imagine how good the real stuff is over in India. All of the Indian people that I’ve ever known are super polite as well. One other place that I would love to go is basically anywhere in old-world Europe. Barcelona, Warsaw, Kiev, Glasgow, any of those places would be a blast to go and visit. If those don’t work, I’ll just stick to my Costa Rica vacation rentals.

Un jour, quand je serai vieux et riche, je vais acheter beaucoup de choses. Ma maison sera remplie de armoires sur mesure, des tapis sur mesure – tout sera d’origine. Je n’aurai pas un élément que l’on ait d’autre dans le monde entier. Je sais que cela semble assez scandaleux, mais ne vous inquiétez pas, je ne sera probablement jamais être riche ou vieux. Haha, je raconte des blagues. Dans mon rêve, je l’aurais St Léonard Quebec armoires sur mesure. Mais en réalité, je préfère dépenser mon argent durement gagné sur ma famille, ou les organismes de bienfaisance.

Je pense que la meilleure vie peuvent avoir une vie qui est vécue dans le service. Je crois vraiment que lorsque nous aidons les autres, nous sommes vraiment nous-mêmes aider aussi. Je crois vraiment au karma, et quand je aider les gens, ils vont m’aider dos. Donc, même si ce serait bien d’avoir un château dans les nuages, avec des armoires personnalisées et de belles œuvres d’art, je préfère avoir de bonnes relations avec les gens que j’aime. Ma mère a un signe dans notre maison qui se lit “Les choses les plus importantes dans la vie ne sont pas les choses” et je suis tout l’amour de la déclaration. Je pense que cela résume parfaitement mon mantra de ma vie.

Right now, I have sitting on my desk next to me an orange. I love oranges. They make me feel all bright and sunny and happy. They remind me that there are places right now that aren’t covered in a foot of snow with a layer of ice underneath. They remind me that there are still places where you can get Vitamin D from the sun. They make me hope for a better life.

You see, with all the nasty weather that I’ve been living in for the last few months, I really have been pondering and considering moving to some place that is less, well, nasty. In my dreams, I have already moved into one of those apartments for rent Gainesville FL where the world is still a bright, sunny place. I dream that I can just walk outside one of those apartments for rent Gainesville FL and I will be able to pluck an orange off a tree and eat it on the spot. It will be fresh and delicious and healthy.

But unfortunately, right now I live in the middle of a snow storm. The only thing that I have to remind me that there is a better world is my orange. I love you, orange.
