So my brother’s in the states now. How the hell did that happen? Well his Uni screwed the funds closed down and the main centre in California took in all the displaced students.

This move of his seriously takes me back to 1997, and the start of my Uni years. You go there, not knowing a soul, it’s the start of a new adventure, a clean slate. The world at your feet, and there’s a certain amount of fear. It’s your first time away from home and you’re in a completely different country, sometimes it feels like a completely different world.

Then your first culture shock hits you like a ton of bricks and all of a sudden things get weird. After a little while you start seeing the trees from the forest and you start understanding what’s going on.

Good luck bro you’re going to need it, as you get used to living in the same space with someone else (roomies and all that rubbish).

1 more day in Athens. It’s been a fantastic 10 days, got some drawing done, got some writing done, and did a bit of creating. Capped off 2004 in style. I’ve got to put the final touches of my mammoth 2004 in review post, but here’s wishing everyone a good and productive year.
