The increasingly poor decisions of Sean *Okay not THAT bad!..."

Wow! Okay, August 1st... hmmm, long time since I posted anything! Now its November 4th....
Well, time I give a vague idea to people what I have been doing, or even thinking.

Generally the summer went good. Working at the camp ground was great fun and was nice to be outside.
Can't quite remember all the trips, but got to Slovenia for a few days and had great fun in the capital, Lubeeeonjjjya... whatever. And even had a quick trip to Zagreb too while there. It was quite weird to go back to Zagreb after so long, but the trip turned out to be worth it.

I think if I recall went to a local fest here and donned the Lederhosens once again. Though I did the strongman competition in Garmisch, I didn't do it across town the next time. Speaking of which, I did get to Oktoberfest too! Though I went alone, after an hour of walking around I did find an English speaking German and an Aussie that was talking to him. So, 5 hours later and after getting drunk in some great sunny, even warm weather, I got back to Garmisch.

But back to trips. In late August I got down to Pula Croatia... I think...Or it was early September. But what a great town! So much there history related with the main focus on the Romans. Great to walk around the old town and find my favorite Rajika! Its strong stuff, but I love it!
Met some good people yet again and really loved getting the fresh tasty food from the local market. Was really nice to take a break from everything here.

Everything else inbetween is rather mundane. Might go to the pub or hang with people for an hour or more, but its pretty standard. My group of friends are limited, though of good quality at least. Life is fun and nice, though, I feel stuck. I'm 24 and everyone wants to re-live their college or even high school days. 26 going on 18... that's sad.

So, I work, get back, do a few things, and go off again to do the next thing, or travel. I've really love the last bit. Seeing old friends and re connecting has been wonderful. I feel as Europe, or at least England, seems like home. I'm sad every time I go back. I'm not sure how I'll handle being back in the states. This will put me 3 years overseas in 6 years. 

My love life, well that's been pretty horrible. Americans here, well, safe to say, I've had horrible luck with. Much as I try, I don't know these people and makes dating hard. There will always be a certain distance I'll have. I've done so much in the my, and I have such different view points that are more mature and European, and I lack a certain personality, a certain draw to me. Charisma I think is it. Though I have it around European/Brits and more mature Americans, I utterly lack it with younger people it seems. Ahh, life, I don't understand it. The European with the dating, its been better, but it's been bumpy or confused, either with age gaps or me not having a real work permit for Europe, but still, its been better and gives me hope at the same time it depresses me.

Anyway, now enough of that for now.....

Next post will be all about October and November!
