Dedicating my seemingly endless time into creating myself into a useless internet meme

It has been 4 months since I landed in this abyss of culture. Or, is it the environment I am in right now makes it impossible to enjoy what I thought was just simply part of everyday life. Life music, great wine, simple yet delicious food, fine women, great friends and long bike rides. Crap, I dont even have the luxury to bath in clean air. According the Taipei Times, an english language news publication based in Taiwan, the city of kaohsiung, which happens to be the city I reside, has the lowest air quality when compared with all the cities on this tiny island. Simply amazing!
Acceptance, as defined by the ever evolving wikipedia, as when a person knowingly experiences something, usually with negative connotation, he or she abstains from it. I have accepted the tragedy that there is a possibility I will never be able to return to my old glorious days of poor yet lavish lifestyle ; poor in the materialistic senses, lavish in spirits. My life has been in a stalemate.
As I sit on the couch covered with my grandparents' old bamboo mat, looking toward the light right on top of me while dwell in the abyss, the memory of the past haunts me like booze, boobs, and a breath of fresh air.

  2. Poor yet lavish lifestyle
    Oh yeah, the freedom of poverty and laughter of deprivation. And yet I know that my poverty is only relative. There will always be those seemingly ahead and those falling behind.
