Willem, drop me a line if you ever want to chat. I have some ability to empathise, and I'm not all that far away from where you will be, as the fates have it.

Come back soon.

I'm in Vancouver, so the same applies to me as NYE.

I know we've disagreed, but I've always enjoyed our debates.

I wish you luck on your new ventures on the island. I hope you find everything you are looking for, some answers on the road of life.

Good luck and God bless.

So what do you think I'm doing now?

There's been a couple of times now that hanging out here has been a good way of getting things off my chest, before I get overloaded and start beating my head against the wall.

Oh yeah, were are you?

That's why I intend to leave, I want to find my heart again. I think I left a part of it by the ocean more than 10 years ago, and I want it back.

Yeah...the ocean is special. Really started missing it when I spent 4 years in Chicago.

I spent one summer living in a squatters cabin, built by the draft dodgers in the 60s, almost right on the beach. It was a truly magical place. Many times, just when I was starting to fall asleep, the sound of the waves made me feel like I was being rocked to sleep. It was very soothing. Unfortunately, that place is gone now.

One thing I've always regretted is that I never made it out to Long Beach, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. So I'll be getting a chance to rectify that mistake.

This is my hometown area. Stop by and take a look if you're passing through. No (legal) jobs there, just grass.

I hope you can take the tragic events of the recent past and make something good happen. Good luck.

Victoria is indeed a pretty city...jobs are tight like everywhere of course.

Good luck. In some ways, I envy you and the journey you're about to take.

Good luck Willem. Hopefully life will deal you a better hand in your new journey.

Well I have 5 years experience in that area myself, so who knows.

Well I'm planning on getting back into the hospitality industry so hopefully I won't have to much trouble finding something. I was just looking at the classifieds in the Times-Colonist and there's more jobs in that field available now than there is here in this area, and the tourist season hasn't even started yet.

It's been on mind for years to go back there some day, and since I have to start over anyway, I may as well take the leap now.

Thanks. I guess it will depend on what I make of it. I can't really complain about my life here overall, except for this last little stretch, but I know I can do better.
