So... my student visa has been cancelled by my university for my leave of absence... which means that I no longer am residing in this lovely country you people have here legally. It is apparently in my best interest to leave before I get kicked out of here, so that I don't get banned for life from the U.S. Going to Israel ofcourse involves the fun fact of having to enlist in the Israeli Army. At least if I can take comfort in the fact that I might not get enlisted at all because I's craaaaaazy or that if I do get enlisted I will probably serve in a non-combat professional job which will provide me with some sort of career training, money, food, and a roof over me head... which are rather necessary things in life, I must admit. Anyhow, I depart in around 3 weeks time, yes yes. I don't think I'll actually fully realise that I'm out of the U.S. until I get on that damn airplane. I'm just trying to stay as optimistic as possible, which isn't easy when you're forced to go to such a peaceful country as Israel, but... I gotta live man, gotta live. I must admit that I did bring this upon myself (even though it's a tad hard to hold me accountable for my mental illness), and that I did expect this a tad... so at least it doesn't completely suprise me. Hopefully the enlistment only starts August-ish, which will give me time to go and live in a Kibbutz (commune) for a couple of months beforehand and relaaaaaax. If I am not admited into the army, then I do have the options of re-applying to college outside of Israel, or going to live in a commune for a bit and waste a tad of time... so that's not too bad, I would guess. Anyhow, this is indeed a shitter...but life ain't pretty. Gotta face it... I leant that the hard way. Be happy to be American citizens... you Americans... it amazes me how so many people here talk about "revolution" this and "revolution" that... while they do not realise that they live in one of the best possible places on earth. Ungrateful sods Anyhow... your support is always welcomed and I shalt be posting religiously as I already do for the next three weeks as it is Ahh life... such a silly thing.
Awww.... I'm really sorry to hear that. I was actually just thinking about your situation the other day and I hope you don't have to enlist in the army there. Seems like you have a good attitude about it though and I suppose that's all you can do.
Yeah, I've said the same thing. People don't always know how good they have it here because nobody has anything to compare the place to... such a vast range of things to do and places to go freely, with only worries of people shooting or stabbing you, rather than mass bombings and the other crazy shit out there... you know, shit'll change more someday because there's really only room for improvement, competing with everyone else. Seems like this is the year we're really going green, too (as if it'll convince China or some dillusional notion, but it's worth a shot). Just stay safe, man... and be sure to get your ass back over here whenever you can, because we can probably use a few more folks like you, anyway... and I'm glad you've been enjoying the Southeast region. It's rather bitchin, you know.
Ehhh... just a thought.... I think a lot of americans know how good we have it here compared to a lot of other places. But that doesn't mean that those of us that live here that are actually semi conscious in their ways of living and not totally superficial and actually care to learn about other countries and don't have PRIDE just for being an AMERICAN (american pride... in the sense of "we are american and we are the best nation and we are ENTITLED to great things by God")..... well, when many of us bitch about this country it's not because we don't know in a relative sense have it very good... it's because it's kinda sickening if you look at many of this countries people.
It doesn't relate to that... but you never hear from the people or the moderates in our society because we're dissapearing, as a whole. And... as someone who really could care less what political idealogy you have or party you belong to so long as you try to do something good for yourself and for someone else every once in awhile, you know. At least you're doing something for the improvement of society, as the first step is personal preferences and improvement on yourself and your attitude towards society as a whole. Society pisses me off, sometimes. Though, that doesn't relate to any faith in specific, I'm a Baptist; God or not, the main thing is to not be at each other's throats and do something with yourself every once in awhile.
Aye, just gotta hang on. It's just a tad shitty that enlisting is actually the better option. In Israel, no one...NO ONE... will hire you for a job if you didn't go to the army. Crazy Jews. So yes, I might come back to the US some sunny day. Maybe to marry an American lady so that I could escape Israel But ehh... I can't make anyone marry without love. ... And... I wouldn't lie about my religion. I'll tell them the truth... that I believe in the dark lord Satan
Rather very likely, thank satan. I'm not built for combat, plus... I don't think they'll let a bi-polar maniac who talks in poetry into the combat forces
naw brother im well aware. maintanance tho. gotta keepem in line or theyl line you up. had a good friend gooney similar situ. was from turkey.aint heard from him since stuff. gettin kicked aint no fun. no ireland no uk fer me ever again.you havta go back n then leave n then if they let n u got the mandatory fight sum bullshit for nationalismo bullshit.cunty shites.well yer not stupid n yer not a **** so. bleh thats fugly. fuckit less worry n more doin. do anything now you can or want to. n keep yer head on fer avoidance of serving sum fat old **** . your clever yer brave so get dodgey.no mopin.besides that itd be fun to hang out sumday. fucking hate gettin kicked. states are a bit easier fer this n that. gooney ,turkish laws a bit harsh fer draft dodgin. firin squad. hopes not the same. if there isnt a game plan fer stuff id say take yer chances here. worlds fulla folks with no country.but if you can beat it n still hold yer family n stuff. im prolly repeatin junk but just in case. be well brother.
Cheers man. Dodging the draft in Israel = 3 years of military prison. If they want to take me into combat, then that will probably be the result.
Wow, that sucks. I'm very sorry to hear that. I'm sure you could find some lucky american broad to marry ya.

That really sucks man, good luck in Israel and hopefully you can go back to the US sooner than you thought!
shit man that really blows. i'd let you marry me if it meant you'd be granted citizenship, but that's not exactly legal just keep talking in poetry and you should be fine
