It’s been over a year since I wrote in this blog. That’s a long time. A lot has changed and a lot has stayed the same. I went to the USA, expecting miracles and came back empty-handed but with a dream. I want to live there forever. The american dream is very much real and I would like to live it.
I have good news – the bank will give me the credit I need to cover my expenses for the trip to the USA this summer. This is great news! Also I got even more birthday wishes from friends and family! Yani called earlier this afternoon, she sure managed to cheer me up just when I was starting to feel a down again. I spent hours playing Perfect World which is completely pointless. Remind me not to do it again. The only good thing about it is that I met a guy from Spain and we talked about a few things – current state, plans, and friendship + when friendship turns into something more. Hehe, after which I played some Counter Strike and GunZ: The Duel with my brother. At some point I got really hungry so I had to stop for a few seconds but I did manage to play The Longest Journey while eating my dinner. Damn, this game is nice! The story is so involving, I want to know what happens next. But now it’s time to go to bed, I think I’ll take a shower first though.April Ryan, if only you existed in real life 
I don’t know why but I kinda love writing in this blog. I’m getting used to it. Like I said in a previous post, I love watching the words appear on screen and form sentences, strings of thoughts and emotions. It’s good practice, too. Without English classes in uni, it’s hard to keep in shape, so I’m doing my best not to forget the language. Soon it will be time to start the countdown to my trip to the USA. I just can’t wait to land in New York sometime in May. It will be awesome, best summer ever and if I have the time, I promise I’ll keep a diary, or at least some notes of what’s going on! Maybe I’ll find what I’ve been looking for right there in the land of opportunities? Who knows? Come on 450 words? This is pathetic. You can do better!
Well, that’s it for today. Tomorrow is a new day and I should finally get to studying. I promise I will! o_O

The Longest Journey
It’s a story about an ordinary person with extraordinary abilities. Whatever he writes, it happens within 24 hours. It begins with the man waking up in a dark room, the only light coming from a projector someone high up on the ceiling, illuminating into a blank space in front of him. It’s an empty notebook. Our hero knows what he has to do. The people who locked him here and chained him to the floor want to use him, make him write and accomplish their wishes.
Some random questions:
How limited is his power? What can he produce with this writing? Is it only concrete things, or anything at all he imagines? I think it’s a good idea to have some sort of limit because otherwise he’d go like “WORLD PEACE, NO MORE VIOLENCE” and it would happen, just like that. Additionally, there may be some “penalties” for using the power. Maybe he gets a headache or goes blind and his writing hand goes numb for some time?
Who are the people who got him? Are they a criminal group, an individual or the government? What happened to his family? How were his wife and daughter killed? What lies beneath the dark? How was his normal life like before he discovered this ability? Maybe he ocassionally got sudden urges to write a story when he was a kid, maybe he tried once but there was some secret to it, so nothing came true? “If I concentrate really hard and apply some pressure, a buzzing sound in his head, things I write come true. I can wish for anything as long as it exists and within 24 hours it appears exactly where I want it. Could be money, could be a truck full of lollipops, damn, it could even be weapons of mass destruction. It’s not safe to use my ability. I should never tell anyone about it.”
I found a song today accidentally on youtube. It turned out that there is a poem and the song was made using it, slightly rewording some parts.
If you need me, remember I’m easily found,
I live all around you – in schools and in town
I live with the rich; I live with the poor,
I live down the street, and maybe next door.
I’m made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can be made under the kitchen sink.
In your child’s closet, and even in the woods,
If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.
I have many names, but there’s one you know best,
I’m sure you’ve heard of me, my name is Crystal Meth.
My power is awesome; try me you’ll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.
Just try me once and I might let you go,
But try me twice, and I’ll own your soul.
When I possess you, you’ll steal and you’ll lie,
You do what you have to – just to get high.
The crimes you’ll commit for my narcotic charms
Will be worth the pleasure you’ll feel in your arms,
Your lungs and your nose. You’ll lie to your mother;
You’ll steal from your dad, When you see their
Tears, you should feel sad.
But you’ll forget your morals and how you
Were raised, I’ll be your conscience, I’ll teach you my ways.
I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,
I turn people from God, and separate friends.
I’ll take everything from you, your looks and your
Pride, I’ll be with you always – right be your side.
You’ll give up everything – your family, your home,
Your friends, your money, then you’ll be alone.
I’ll take and take, till you have nothing more to give,
When I’m finished with you, you’ll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned – this is no game,
If given the chance, I’ll drive you insane.
I’ll ravish your body, I’ll control your mind,
I’ll own you completely, your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I’ll give you while lying in bed,
The voices you’ll hear, from inside your head.
The sweats, the shakes, the visions you’ll see,
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.
But then it’s too late, and you’ll know in your heart,
That you are mine, and we shall not part.
You’ll regret that you tried me, they always do,
But you came to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen, many times you were told,
But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.
You could have said no, and just walked away,
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?
I’ll be your master, you will be my slave,
I’ll ever go with you, when you go to your grave.
Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It’s all up to you.
I can bring you more misery than words can tell,
Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.
Това са моите новогодишни обещания.
My first post on this blog. I suppose I should start by introducing myself. Hello, my name is Teodor and I’m a university student from Bulgaria. I study International Economic Relations in the University of Plovdiv. I’m also a new member of AIESEC which is an international students organization aiming at developing young people’s potential. So far my experience in it has been extremely pleasant. I met tons of new people, had problems remembering everybody’s name at the beginning but now I think I know most of them. I hope that AIESEC will have a positive impact on me and that I will be able to fully use everything it has to offer and benefit as much as possible.
Today was an interesting day to say at least… Spent over six hours in uni even though it’s Sunday because we (the AIESEC new recruits) were having a Sales Skills training. I think I got the basics and now I can’t wait to try them out in real situations. This was my first training and I’m glad I attended it and stayed till the end. I don’t think it was a waste of time. We will begin the process of raising companies next week and everything we learned today will come at handy.
ACT (AChieve Today) conference in Sofia is in just a few days, can’t wait! Only three days left.
