DUDES! What do you in Brussels!? I have no clue!
Well now thats out of the way, how is everyone?
I am currently in Brussels, Belgium. Ive been here for roughtly 2 hours and am waiting to get into my hotel room, yes! My own room! And I dont have to leave tomorrow!
As far as languages go here there is a mixture of German, Dutch, Belgian French and broken English. It is very hard to know what to expect, and it rather confusing.
Seeing as how I have two entire days to do whatever in this city Im going to sleeeeep and enjoy my own space today, and have to worry about a dozen people coming in and out of my dorm room wanting to shower at ungodly hours. And my motivation is kind of running out, and Im getting more and more tierd by the day, and I need to be fresh for Paris, I have two and half days to do everything there, and buy stuff!
Well its time to eat and hopefully figure out some worth while things to do in this city.

HOT.
Hello folkses, how are we today? Good I hopes.
Well, I´m killing a day in Antwerp, and it shall be grand.
After a very long time I actually found my hostel, but that just made me appreciate it more and relish the shower, best one of my life.
I will be heading across the Atlantic once again [this will trans-atlantic flight number 4 in 4 months] in about a week, thats soon! But I miss ye all, and will glad to see you all again.
I am currently on listen number three of The Reminder! Weee! I have fallen in love with Feist all over again and now I definitely can´t wait the 3 and a half weeks till the concert! It is a HOT record.
Stephanie Campbell if you are reading this I have found your Belgian Counterpart. Seriously, it´s actually kind of scary.
I think I have dreamed of my hostel before, it´s painfully familiar.
As you can tell, I really don´t have much of substance to write just little thoughts.
That´s all for now, I think I´m going to catch up on some Brother hood 2.0, I´m a little behind.

I feel like a turtle
I´m in Antwerp, Belgium! Holy Crap! I didn´t even know this place existed a few days ago! But I bet the 461,000 people who live here did. I´m here waiting to go to Brussels and Paris. I really do have to wait, both of those cities are prqctically full, from a hostellers point of view anyways. And because of my wonderful father, I actually have places to stay. I owe him much.
Anyways.
In regards to amsterdam. I did a lot of complaining, but that was just me being a pity whore. But I´m in a much better mood now mostly because I can actually breathe through my nose again. I enjoyed amsterdam, but if I were to go back I would go with someone else.
The keyboards here are the weirdest I´ve encountered thus far. They are seriously messed up man. SERIOUSLY.
Well I´m off back into the sun and heat to hopefully find my hostel, and pray it´s not too far away.
This would normally becoming a lot later, but I need to look up the name of my hostel and was going to be paying for half an hour anyways.
S-s-s-something from the comments. Vapid [Aweome! I got to use the word vapid! I don´t even know if I´m using it right!] rumours have been flying about it being jesus who said it was a sad life. I don´t think this is true because he said it in Dutch first andwas smoking. I think we can all agree that Jesus is in fact not Dutch nor a smoker. CRISIS AVERTED.
I want to weigh my backpacks see how much weight I´m charting around.
Cioa.

Casiotones for the painfully alone.
Every step actually hurts and on the way back to the hostel a guy came up beside me and said,
'It's a sad life.'
'It's a sad life.'
Amsterdam.
The people who come here and live here like to party or smoke. I don't do either and starting doesn't either doesn't really appeal to me, also the only parties are pub crawls, and from what I've heard aren't that much fun, it's really just 40 overly drunk guys running around listening to shitty music.
So yea, my eta in Regina is getting bumped up again to the second or third. I'm getting more home sick by the day, and my cold isn't going away. Also, something other than an air mattress or bunk bed sounds AWESOME.
I miss my life and I want it back.

They really DO have mayonaise with fries.
It's actually pretty good.
So, I'm in Amsterdam. Weee. Sorry if I'm not overly enthused, it's just I'm still kind of sick, didn't have much sleep and haven't eaten much of substance, also, the veritable purple haze that is pretty much EVERYWHERE is giving me a headache. But, I am here and I have the rest of the day and two more days to fill, and I don't think I'll have much trouble.
I'm in a little internet cafe somewhere (hopefully) close to my hostel, I can't find it, I took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up lost, everything looks pretty much the same. I need a shower desperatly, man, how many times has that thought crossed my mind in the past two months...holy shit I've been gone for almost two months.
I had all these thoughts and musings about amsterdam, but as is my curse, unless I right them down at the time, they are gone...just that amsterdam, unlike many other places, is pretty much you hear it is and expect it to be. One thing people don't really tell you is that the city is gorgeous. Dozens of canals go through it, the trees and tall and pretty, the streets usually cobbled, the buildings old, high and brick, the cathedrals are gorgeous, and yet people just think of it as a party city. Which is true, and puts me a weird spot, I don't really party. Sure, this could be a good time to start, and may well be the start, but partying is busy work, and I am haunted by almost constant exhaustion. My mind is working way to hard to keep up with the fact that there is something utterly new each day and coupled with poor sleeping and eating habits, you lose gusto quickly. But enough complaining about being tierd, that's for when I get home.
I had some more things to say, but they left with my energy a few hours ago, maybe some m0re later, if I don't end up crashing listening to radiodread (I had to go to Holland to find it, but I did).
Later my home-ees. Word to thine mother.
