This blog has been mainly used for debate and discussion of issues of interest to me. As a way to see where my friends stand on those issues. This however is about to change. As most of you are quite aware, I'm leaving the country very shortly. So this will become my personal blog site for whats happening in my life in South Korea. I will still be posting debate topics but mainly I will use the site for posting about my random adventures, so people can keep tabs on me. (I am aware of who you are, especially those assigned to me by KARMA.)
With my departure date fast approaching, I have begun to realize what all will change when I leave here. Windsor is my home, and has been for almost 6 years. Everyone I love is here, everyone I hate is here. Most of my memories that I can recall take place here (even most of the ones I can't.) I have started to say GoodBye to people, mainly acquintances and co-workers and a few friends (tear shed for the cool roommate.) I realized something that I was avoiding for quite awhile, I'm gonna be alone for quite sometime. I'm not used to that since I moved into the Rankin house, I have always been surrounded by great people. (Yes, I mean you!) This experience will be the boldest thing I've done since walking home naked in the rain because as most of you know I love rain (am I kidding?) As much as I deny it, I AM SCARED. I am nervous, I am confused, I am happy, I am excited, I am sad. But most of all I am CONFUSED, I have sacrificed alot to be able to do this and doubting whether its worth it. I haven't come to a decision on that yet but hopefully I will sometime and soon.
I was thinking about how to end this and wanted something classy but then that just wouldn't be me. So.....
Hakuna Matata, BITCH!
Thank You, Rayne; My alter ego.
DEBATE- Why do we say goodbye? For the chance it will be the last time we see each other and want to prepare ourselves or something else?

who is this Karma you speak of? ....
Good bye shows esteem...to say good bye means that you care about the person somewhat, and that you want them to know it, so incase you never talk to them again, they know that they have your esteem. Cause if you don't say good bye, it can be an insult and a slap in the face, cause it would mean that you had no care or need for that person.
anyways those are my thoughts
what about the other farewells, like 'fare well', 'god speed', and the like? Do these not show esteem but with the added intent of returning from there prosperous journey, and reuniting with all the people that influenced you so much throughout the years.
My thoughts in repsonse to your thoughts
I think you can say goodbye with any word in any way. You don't have to even see the person to give yourself closure, becuase that's what it is. A goodbye or farewell or whatever is a close to something even if you see that person again in an hour some people feel the need to close their previous encounter.
I don't like goodbyes, or farewells, or see you soons, or so longs, or anything having to do with the possibily someone might leave my life for a period of time. It's a disheartening but nessicary evil.
Closure is for suckers.
I've never liked to use the words "goodbye" or "bye" or anything else that denotes an ending. People move on and move away but that is not an ending, but a new beginning. Just because someone wont physically be where they used to be doesnt mean they are gone. Some people can be standing right beside you and be further away then someone on the other side of the planet!!
Personally, when someone moves away I want them to know that I love them and respect them, wish them all the happiness, and will be thinking about them on their journey. And I hope to hear about it when I speak with them next! *wink*
You're about to become worldly, lad! It's a time for celebration (and celebrate you have). My advice is to take two steps forward, and look straight ahead with both eyes open. You have your destiny in your own two hands now, and if anyone could handle the forging of one amazing destiny it's cocky, crazy-ass Lawrence! Know that I have the upmost confidence and respect in and for you, and expect to hear of many fantastic adventures.
As for goodbyes, what could I say other than that they are not? The world has shrunk to fit in the palm of your hand. You are never truly alone (as long as you have the internet!)
Peace, my friend, and may whatever gods you believe in bless your journeys in the world.
