It's a warm beautiful morning here in Tallinn Estonia...
Edited on Thu Sep-21-06 03:27 AM by goodboy
If you hadn't heard yet, I moved to Estonia last month. Permanently. Don't worry, I'll still be raising political hell from here...through the US embassy-if they let me in:) It's strange, but even though I'm 4500 miles away from the US, I still can't seem to get away from the Boy King...allegedly, he's coming here soon. There's talk that the Tallinn Airport cannot accommodate Air Farce One, and there's definitely no space to hang a Mission-Accomplished-er banner anywhere:)

So I've been "working hard" to make a good life here. I'm a professional musician so I've been performing nearly every night. I work in one of the hottest bars in town, and I've already become quite famous apparently. With any luck, I'll be running my own bar soon, and playing live music as well. Estonians love live music, and come out in droves for all kinds of big name acts who come here. I've heard that Michael Jackson had the record turn out for his concert several years ago, that is, until Metallica came here and smashed his record all the way back to Neverland Boys Ranch...Just to give you an idea, there are only about 400,000 people in the city, and something like 80,000 people went to the Metallica show.

It's so nice to be in a place where people talk to each other, and are genuinely interested in what you have to say. And for the most part, their politics mirror DU's in that they are peace-loving, and they ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY DESPISE George W. Bush!

So, I hope you all are well, and are "Working Hard" to get rid of the Repukes in November. Get out the vote. Volunteer for phone banking. Go door to door. Whatever it takes, there's never been a more opportune time to strike hard and fast at those vicious criminals, and help the country get its conscience back.

I'll be around, if you have any questions for me.

Peace,

goodboy

9. It's wonderful to hear good news from you!

I can only guess that your health conditions have improved greatly. I wish you and goodgirl the very best.

How is it that you've managed to move so far away?

10. hey Joanie...
I haven't had a seizure for 3 months or more....I'm not sure how long, because it's been so long.

goodgirl is Estonian, and came back here in July, and I followed about a month later. It took me a while to get all the loose ends sorted out back in the states.

So, now things are finally looking up, although coming to a new country with 6 bucks in your pocket is no easy task. goodgirl is teaching grade-school english, and living with her parents about an hour away. It's really hard not being with her all the time, but the time will come when we can finally be together again.

I love you,

goodboy

14. I love you too.

I wish you good health and happiness all of the rest of your life. :thumbsup: I hope the time passes quickly until you two are back together again.

Perhaps the seizures were from stress as much as they were from your injury. Many years ago Jon's seizures could be brought on that way, they began after a severe brain injury. He was in a coma for a while after a car accident. :(
