Peoples perspectives on things can change greatly depending on the particular instance. For example, at certain points, I think of Madonna as a brave and independent free thinker, who has been an important female in the world and has creatively reinvented herself. However, most of the time, I actually think of Madonna as a rank midden, who has cheaply exploited her sexuality, surrounded herself with powerful and influential men to aid her career and has manipulatively jumped on every new trend to disguise the fact she has never had an original thought in her life. I point this out, only as a crude illustration of the way peoples opinions and feelings can drastically vary.
Concordantly, my own moods and views, can vary frequently and so you should take any of my posts on this blog and any MSN conversations etc, with a pinch of salt. I have frustrating days certainly, but on the whole I am a happy chappy. I have managed to adopt a mindset where my day to day life is relatively stress free, my work load is to be honest a piece of piss and I am saving some money. When I first got here I was certainly overworked, overwhelmed and bloody miserable generally. I have managed to come to a mental ceasefire with the childhood nuke bomb that is the Korean education system. Certain people still seem to think I am miserable all the time and seem to worry about me. Although the concern is touching, don't fret, I am doing just fine at the minute.
Oh and as I am sure he is reading when he has a chance, hello to another globetrotter in the form of Mr Niall Kennedy. Niall is settling in Caracas as I type and I am sure he will leave his own indelible imprint on the Socialist paradise. Good luck!!
