The Excellent Exile

This is it...a significant tranisitional phase; travelling, if you will. On Wednesday morning, 13th September, I realized the very instant I woke up that this day I would leave Oulu. The cloudy, gray weather served as a perfect background for a somewhat melancholic departure.
Of course I'm dramatising. But I do admit the trip brought about a somewhat bittersweet feeling on this pale Wednesday morning. On one hand I'm excited to get far, far away from this boring city, Paskakaupunni, and on the other..leaving the place I have inhabited for about 22 years feels strange, even awkward, perhaps.
Thankfully all my friends are malfunctional, retarded or otherwise just annoying, so I won't be missing them that much. I kid :D Some of them might come and visit me in Sapporo, if they win the lottery..Poor bastards. Don't be so uptight, it was a joke. (But the are bastards)
Halfway to Turku, the hint of sadness clouding my mind in the morning hours had faded away as I watched the monotonous rural landscape passing by the train window. It once again dawned on me that this was indeed a wise move; to go see some other scenery. To go see some other culture. For almost an entire year. The thing is, when I get back (of course, I'm only referring to Oulu) it is very probable that nothing has changed, except for some bar some Seppo might have decide to erect. He does that a lot, you know..
So this is it, then. The biggest trip of my life has just begun, and I don't mean TKU or HKI, I've been to these places before. And I'm not talking about drugs, either. Or am I? Maybe I'll just travel to Sapporo by my..dragonfly, while I'm at it I might just kiss the sky.. Don't believe everything you read. But to conclude on a more serious note: Desmond is coming soon to a Sapporo near you. ...whutt....?
