Progress
It's been over a month now. I have come face to face with my idiotic and naive ambitions, and recognizing this and letting ago has been the real achievement so far. First off, Danish, is not an easy language to learn... at all. It's extremely difficult actually, especially when trying to keep up in demanding classes, two of which are in Danish. Somehow, somewhere in the past two years or so, I've mistakingly built up this over confidence in myself and my ability. Where I got that from, I really do not know. I'm the type of person who makes even the most simple tasks difficult, so thinking that I could actually come here and do the things I wanted is beyond me. It's as though for the past month I've been trying to build this strong comfortable foundation for myself, but the only thing I have to build with is cooked spaghetti. Man I'm hungry... but these ideas are what I'm all about. If I can make five of one hundred come true, then I'm doing well. I've just got to learn to recognize when to let go, back off, chill, enjoy what I have and where I am.
So you'll have to be patient with me. I'm adjusting, and slowly realizing this isn't a Spanish vacation in Denmark. And I've also found those wheels I was looking for. Yeah yeah, it may be a lady's bike, but guys ride them out here, and the basket up front and rack in the back make it perfect for groceries. What's important is that it's in good condition, and that I don't ever have to pay for the bus again if I don't want to. The 12 km trek from Copenhagen with no map only took 45 minutes. That includes the time that I was lost. Not bad...

Lately I've heard grumblings of my Mediterranean containermates concerning the looming Danish winter. Rightly so... It can be a depressing place. Far less sunshine, more rain, snow, and overall the fear of succumbing to the purpose of the container: to contain things. That means less clubbing, less beyond-container-walls drinking, and to many that insinuates less living. We might as well hibernate like bears. I know I enjoy a good nap on occasion. But for me, it usually also means a bit more art. And honestly, if it weren't for engineering, I'd be doing this a heck of a lot more. I've uploaded some new pictures to a new set so check it out. I'm hoping to be working with a new medium soon, instead of the generic photoshop. So with a little luck and a lot of time management, soon, I'll be posting some images that are a bit more interesting. Until then, enjoy.
