Having a dog is amazing. Dogs never fail to make you smile. No matter how disobedient they can be, how much of your shit they bite or ruin – all they need to do is look you in the eyes or give you a lick and whatever they did is forgotten. At least that’s how I feel. I’ve spent less than a year having Snuggles living with me and I already think of how much I’m going to miss her when I leave Malaysia (something I hope to do as soon as possible).

A Wilhelm Scream
I have no idea why, I just felt like sharing this:
The Wilhelm scream is a film and television stock sound effect first used in 1951 for the film Distant Drums. The effect gained new popularity (its use often becoming an in-joke) after it was used in Star Wars and many other blockbuster films as well as television programs and video games. The scream is often used when someone is shot, falls from a great height, or is thrown from an explosion.

Crossroads
So what’s been going on in my life?
Besides the usual daily grind of working life, the weekend jam sessions, and hanging out with my buddies: not much really.It’s at a point where I think I’m too comfortable with where I am. I’m not unhappy, don’t get me wrong, and I’m definitely content. But is this what I want? Life could be so much more than what it is right now. But then again, am I too idealistic?
I have a lot of responsibilities right now, and I constantly use them as an excuse to tie me down to what I’m doing right now. Is that being too selfless? Should I just do what I feel or want to do, and go ahead?
Most of you who know me will know that I just want to roam the world, picking up odd jobs every few months, save up enough, move on to the next country and so on. I just want to experience as many different things in life before I die (I wonder when that will be?) just so I can say I did something. I didn’t waste my life away wishing I did something when I could.
Or is what I’m thinking about doing a stupid idea? Should I just forget it and live a “normal” life, one that everybody leads. I don’t know. I really don’t know.
When people talk about crossroads in life, and how hard it is to decide which way to go: I guess I might be facing one now. It’s just that I don’t know how long the path will stay open.
It’s been awhile since I’ve felt this lost.
