The 1st day

Chatting online with someone you never met may cause you to develop all kinds of ideas on the person's character and appearance.  We first started communicating after first meeting on a chat site. It was his picture that drew me to his profile. We exchanged hellos and eventually exchanged msn addresses and then we would chat every now and then.  Our work schedules were one thing we had to deal with...I worked 8am to 5pm, he worked 2pm to midnight...so our chats were usually at my lunch break or when he got in from work...and on days he wasn't working and I was, we would chat briefly before he was heading out with friends...and when I wasn't working and he was, we'd catch each other briefly in between whatever it was we were running off to.
But then is came to pass one day, when I was off of work and happened to go online and find him there and not at work. We began to chat and after a few hours decided that, since we were both free, we should meet. I was so excited...but my excitement quickly turned into anxiety. I mean, sure, we got along quite nicely online, and had so much to talk about and share...but what if, in person, we did not connect? What if we just didn't like each other? These are the thoughts I'd scare myself into...and it wasn't long until I started feeling nervous.
I showered and dressed and headed out to catch the bus...all the way wondering and worrying. I arrived 10 minutes before the planned time...he was 15 minutes late. That extra time was all I needed to get more anxious and wonder if he would show up at all.  The mind plays funny tricks on us when we are anxious.  He did finally arrive and though he looked much younger in person than in his pictures, we hit it off right away.  It was like meeting up with an old friend and catching up on life...we talked and laughed, sharing a Sangria...and the more we talked the more I grew to like him...and I would be bold enough to say 'love at first site' because I did like what I saw.
Though we were from different worlds and different generations...we had much to share...and we fit each other really well.  It was unbelievable how much we shared in that first meeting.  And, I am happy of the fact that the moved in together after having only met a few days before.
I had found my soulmate online, of all places, and if it hadnt been for that chance of us both being online at the very same time, we might have never met for you see, he was planning on heading back home to Mexico that very afternoon...but put it off to meet me! I did not know this until some time later...happy I am he had not told me or I might have made him catch his flight...happy am I that he did miss it, because I have never been happier!!!!!!

7 days with You

Introduction
Life is so short.  After high school graduation everything is like a blur...gone are the careless days of running free with no worries in the world. College and University are a full time job...between coffee breaks and working a real job to stay alive, there are endless papers and projects and exams and reports and labs and productions...and then, all-of-a-sudden you graduate and are off into the real world to figure out what to do...and once you think you are on the right path, wham, reality checks-in, and there are bills to pay, responsibilities, career, relationship...
...it all goes so fast. Sometimes its nice to just step back and look at your life just so you cant remember who you are.
For me, after spending 6 years in my career and realizing it was not what I expected or wanted, I was faced with starting over.  Stats show that most people will change their career up to 3 times in their life. That's huge! When you think about all the time and money you spend in school trying to figure out what road to take and once you decided and put all your time and energy and finances into the goal, its sad to come to the realization that you probably wont end up where you thought you would.
A waste of time? Not at all. It is a part of growing and learning and living life.
Relationships are probably along the same lines. I have spent so much time and energy in various relationship that I thought were 'the one' and in the end come to realize it was not what I wanted to needed.  But eventually you find what you are looking for...or need...and then time slips away from you.
I've decided to make every bit count!
At the moment me and my love are a part...due to immigration laws and endless paper work, we cannot be together as we would like. It is a very trying and stressful time for us...we want so much to be together...but have to deal with this time a part in a manageable and meaningful way.
I am writing a small journal for my love, titled "7 days with you"...and I am picking 7 of the most important days of our relationship together...7 days that made what we have real and incredible...7 days not to be forgotten...7 days that were the most crucial of our bond...7 days that brought us 'forever' moments.
A love story? Maybe. A life story? Why not.  Lessons learned are always a bonus.
Its not all flowers and sunshine...but what we have was made incredible by what we shared...and so often in life we forget to share the little things...taking moments in life to appreciate and to be thankful.
So here are my 7 days...

My thoughts are gooberish.

Hmmm...my first blog. This is exciting!
I've been wanting to do this for a while but life always got in the way. I used to keep journals, but even then...I had no time to keep them up. So, after much thought and deliberation, I decided to get my thoughts out by blogging. None of my friends know yet. I wanted it to be a surprise.
Usually I write about life and whats going on...my observations on this whole 'life' thing that's happening to all of us. Sometimes I believed that I had the answers to life's most difficult questions, and then realize that all I really had were more questions. Maybe the questions are the answers? Maybe there are no answers. Maybe we just have to live life and figure things out along the way.
Anyway, if we did have all the answers I doubt life would be very much fun. Its best to not know somethings and be happy about it.
SO, my first blob...i guess it would be a good idea to introduce myself. My name is Peter. I am a Canadian, but Mexican at heart. I love everything about Mexico; the food, the people, the culture, the history, the food...oops, said that.  I married a Mexican and have had the greatest experiences. My in-laws are so awesome...I mean really...how lucky is that to have such cool in-laws? If I had it my way, I'd be living in Mexico right now but, our current plans are to forge a life here in Canada...unfortunately, the Canadian Government doesn't seem to agree with out plans. We are having a tough time trying to get a visa or resident status. Don't get me started on the Harper Government...a bunch of bumbling useless twits!  So, for the meantime, we are a part...and waiting anxiously to be together.  Now, with all this extra time on my hands...I write! hehehehe
My thoughts are varied.
I have opinions on lots of things.
And I like to talk about things I am very passionate about...music, writing, traveling...
So, my blogs will most likely be varied.
I am a deep person...I am a thinker. I am complex and I am very open. I am easy to know and hard to lose. I'm a good friend, great listener, and caring. 
I will write about the people I have known and hope to know...I will write about what moves me and what gets my goat. I will share stories...I will share opinions...and for sure i will blog about the person I have come to be because of the great people in my life. 
Stick around for my next blogs!  Its going to be fun!
