I made it!
I am finally here!
Actually, I have been here, for the past 10 days now.
With the luck of the angels, I have manage to have an apartment waiting for me, so close to the subway, that I can actually, hear the thoughts of the train driver, when he is in the previous station.
Many changes are happening in my life.
Two weeks ago, I was surrounded with people from my own country, celebrating my 27th birthday. I feel young and refresh.
I managed to put 60 people together in a room, singing me happy birthday... The most amazing thing is, I didn t have to pay them... I guess this is another good definition of friends.
Friend is someone that goes to your birthday without you having to pay for him or her to be there.
Alas, I still prefer the Space Ghost definition of what a friend is.
A friend is the same as an enemy, but just doesn have the courage to kill you.
Nah... Friends are great... Wherever they are, whomever they are... A cheers to you all... You know who you are...
So, here I am, in Montreal.
Friday Night, in a cyber cafe, enjoying the best hot chocolate of my life... So thick that the chocolate could actually choke me in the press of falling down on the esophagus... (is that the way you write that? - Adam Langton, please revise this.)
It has been an amazing week.
I started my classes with the magnificent 10 commandments of sound (my dear colleagues - 3 of them belong to the female side of the gender).
I bought a pair of speakers that has brought life not just to my own apartment but to the whole building where I live...
Thus far, nobody came with a machine gun to my apartment, threatening my life if I don t shut the music down... Who knows, maybe they like my wacky selection...
From Beethoven to Pearl Jam, passing by Bjork, Tears for Fears, Adiemus, the sweet sound of Vangelis, and of course my dear Peter Gabriel. The most amazing thing happens when I play Portuguese music... I think that the whole block of buildings just turns quiet... I don't exactly know if that is because of the powerful voice of the lead singer in my brothers band, or if just the quality of his music.
An amazing thing happen to my life.
I bought a cell phone.
To those who don't know me, that was quite a revolution in my life, as I always was a sort of an antagonist towards cell phones in Portugal. But due to my loneliness, I had to get something to allow me to communicate with my dear friends...
DEAR FRIENDS... Beware, I can communicate once again... and at the Friday Nights I am will be here at this Espresso place in St. Dennis Street! BUHAHA!
Even more amazing than that, I think I fell in love with my cell phone seller!!! I study all the companies of cell phones here, and it turned out that the TELUS company had the package that was just my wallet size, if you know what I mean.
She was the person with whom I talked more in these first days... Alas I only talked with her 2 times, but even so, we covered more issues than just the cell phone...
Dear friends... I need tips in how to make her want to go out with me... It would feel good to have a friend from outside my class mates... Just to be able to talk about something else.
Oh well.
What more can I say?
Cleanning, cooking, studying in the center of Montreal, the underground city, the nice looking women of this city that pass me by in the METRO, in the streets and in this passage on the Cybercafe... Oh well. I think I am on my way to some sort of happiness.
If indeed there is a will to do something, we will find a way to do it. I am that proof. My will was strong enough to fight the odds.
Now, I must keep on dreaming to find what more is lurking around, in my field of dreams.
Note to self, I must learn more about this keyboard, to avoid errors, must do more word proof revising...
Meanwhile, I am on the track to complete myself.
To all of you who believed in me, I thank you...
To all those who didn't, well one day, I will show you something.
My impression of Montreal is very positive, particularly about the sales person at the Telus stand in the St. Dennis Street.
Its time to go back home now.... My neighbor's are probably in need of some nice music.
