I Deserve A Second Round (or More!)

Many of you know that I had a business trip down in San Francisco last May for a week and I must say that I had a tremendous amount of fun–entertainment, networking, and adventure–and up until this point, I can say that it was the most memorable and “funnest” place I have ever been to. I’m sad to say yet again that I wish I go back and stay there for good.

Well, it turns out I might be able to get yet not only one but two more chances of being back there. One is a vacation with my good friend Gino (25, Jamaican) at the end of September since my Miami trip two weeks ago did not work out so well, and two is that I’ll be planning our annual meeting for one of my clients for the 2010 conference at the same hotel, etc. To be honest, I’m really looking forward to it. I told myself Yay! I’ll be back there sooner than I really anticipated. Good for me! I can go back and re-connect with someone. I hope he’ll still be in San Francisco. I’m sure he is–but we’ll shall see.

I had been communicating with Miguel off and on during the last month or so. It is kind of upsetting for me because of not having that much of a luck to connect with him simply because (1) I’m 3000 or so away from him, (2) I met him (he met me) typically in a visitor-localist scenario, where “Ok, nice meeting you. Let me show you the city” deal come to play, and (3) I can’t really expect too much from that “nice meeting you” experience since I’m not even ready to move to California. It has made me depressed for a little while and I’m still recovering from that and hopefully find something that interest me for the meantime. Knowing what DC has to offer, it is quite challenging.

Though for the last two weeks or so I have found some ways to detach from that depression and focus on some things more positive but keeping that thought/hope alive in the back of mind.

All I can do at this point is focus. Stay track with my goals and stick with the things I want to accomplish while I discover things that could occupy my mind, things that interests me like my older hobbies with which I’d like to get back to doing, meeting new people of course–keeping that door open–and whatever else there is to do/see. There’s only but so much things here but I’m gonna try and turn things around positively.
