travelling

One of my main passions is travelling. I have been all across the US and the world. I have been to several places in Europe as well as to Canada and Mexico, and my college graduation present was a trip to Australia and New Zealand. We have seen three of the 7 natural wonders of the world along the way:the Grand Canyon, Uluru (aka Ayer's Rock), and the Great Barrier Reef.
In the US, we have been to Baltimore a bunch of times(we have family there), Washington DC, Seattle, San Francisco, Colorado, several places in Texas (we live in Dallas), Orlando, North Carolina, and lots of other places. I hope to travel to lots of other places in my lifetime, like other places in Australia and NZ, New Caledonia, Vancouver, and Nashville.

friendships/relationships

I have discussed before on stuff like Facebook and MySpace about my frustrations involving how I can never seem to form relationships and friendships, especially with women. Things people have said and done to me before have been harmful. A lecture my mother once gave me about how people notice me and how big I am was especially damaging, as it made me very self-conscious about the way people perceive me and how I can intimidate them by approaching them.
I have learned that some people have gotten married and/or engaged recently. I had been interested in them. I never get the chance to tell people how I feel. These songs sum up my feelings towards this.

You've felt this way, haven't you?
My biggest what might have beens come from high school and UTD. I met a girl in high school at PSHS and suddenly was talking to her every day during lunch and in between classes. At the end of the school year she moved to Houston, and ever since then I've never been able to prove that she even existed. I became friends with a girl at UTD, but she moved too and last I heard she was married. This song sums a lot of things up.

A few years ago I saw a movie where a guy has a curse placed on him-every girl he sleeps with meets Mr. Right immediately afterwards. For me, it's every girl I'm interested in finds Mr. Right.
I have been trying to meet new people and track down old friends (facebook, google, etc.) at the same time. Wish me luck. There are some people I am interested in, but the trend will probably continue.
