Short and Sweet!

I figured I should post something here, just for those who may have wondered if I've forgotten all about my Journal. I must confess that I prefer the word "journal" to "blog". The latter reminds me of a 1950's vintage Horror Flick from Japan, "The Return of the Blog" or something equally foolish! Or something like:
"Lt Worf! Is that a Borg ship?"
"No Captain! It's even worse! It's a Blog ship!"
(All this is just a cover-up for the fact that I haven't a clue what "blog" means!)
Anyway, I am now back in Canada against my wishes. Many of you who are reading this may know that from posts of mine in the Lounge, but some may not. It all has to do with getting a Visa-D to stay permanently in Bulgaria, getting a big surprise when I was at the BG Consulate in Berlin and was told I had to ante up approximately $2000 CDN to pay back taxes which I didn't even know I owed until a few days before I left for Germany. But then, they had told me I could pay the taxes when I returned to BG! Simply speaking, I didn't have that kind of money, so had no choice but to return to Canada, or end up in a German cell charged with being an illegal immigrant! I am now staying at the home of an old friend, Shannon, in a city near Toronto.
What I have to do here is save up the funds to pay the $1800 (the Canadian $ has gone up rather nicely, thank you), another $400 that I just found out about today to the Consulate in Berlin, why I don't yet know - likely corruption, and the air and train tickets back to my beloved in Sliven.
I will keep you posted, my friends!

I think the definition of the word blog is something like the following:
"I'm so messed up in my head that I need a blog to share my no good life with other people with no good lives."

Du you ever feel like a character in an absurd play? Going to Germany to be able to stay in Bulgaria, then going to Canada to be able to afford to get back to Bulgaria.
