Thoughts on a train. (not a normal "blog")
So, Last night i was at My host dads girlfriend birthday party, It was a very complicated day because today i was heading to europa park with my friends from school. so i had to figure out what time i had to take the train and where i was going bla bla bla.ANYWAYS.
I just happened to have one of my note books with me. So i decided that for the entire half hour ride i would right down nearly every thought i had. Plus there was a weird man in the seats next to me so i used this as a distraction,
anyways. with each though i will either explain. or simply not.
Thought 1: Family's sharing and gifts from the heart. So you see about 20 minutes before i was on the train i was still at the party, and my host dads gift to Sandra his gf, was he sang her a song, and then he organized for her kids to play the guitar and sing a song for her too. and as they played, i looked through the crowd to see her reaction and she was crying! it really did almost bring me to tears! it just made me think about how special family's can be.
Thought 2: Stuck in the friend zone WTF? Basically this means exactly what it says. the friend zone. it can be the greatest thing in the world. and also the worst. but hey. at least your still friends right? that outta count for something
Thought 3: Teases with girlfriends. OK Boys, that tease girls that have gfs. i simply DON'T get it. You have a great girl, and you would not trade her for the world, and you love her, yet you tease other woman, not cool. Leave the teasing to the single people folks. its one of the only things we have over you couples!
Thought 4: Fear of going home?
Thought 5: Weather, Can it really effect Whether you are in a Good mood or not? Clearly the answer to this is yes. The past few days have been phenomenal. The su. is shining high, the leaves are beginning to bud, and with a smell of fresh cut lawn in my nose id say i was pretty good to go. Normally i sit in the train and listen to my chill / "thinking" songs. but i cant help but... not. Hence my new playlist called "Country Summer" as opposed to "Country Chill" which is much more of a winter setting. Im not saying that Winter is glum and depressing cause i LOVE winter, but the sun just brightens my day, literally and metaphorically :)
Thought 6:Letting go - - - - - - - - - > Music! I would try to explain this one but i can't remember.
Thought 7: Dirtbags (word has been edited) = (almost boyfriends) I am still AMAZED that my biggest heartbreaks have been with boys that i was never officially with.
Thiught 8:The dating game ... Swiss boys don't know how to play. First of all. its not all "hey can i take you for dinner sometime" its like hey lets hang out. and then BAM the next day they are dating and will date for probably at least 2 years. people here get into there relationships and squeeze tight. Which im not saying its a bad thing. but it is completely different from back home.
Thought 9: Being alone. Those who can handle it, and those who cant. It really truly does make me sad to see people that always have to have bf's or gf's
Thought 10: Dogs, why are they so loyal, what the heck did we ever do to deserve that
Thought 11: having huge ideas and never following through with any of them.
Thought 12: Getting FAR to emotionally involved. NEVER DO IT. hahahaha.
but seriously. don't.
TODAY!! So,
I slept at Stephies house Last night and we had only 3 hours of sleep because we had to wake up at 5 to get ready to go to EUROPA PARK. It was REALLY cool. they have little areas throughout the entire park that are like "austria" and then you walk a bit and then you are in "holland" and it just continues like that and in each place they have food from that country, its REALLY cute. i LOVED it there. Not to mention it was a scorcher! SO hot. i am a little burnt i must admit but it was totally worth it. Ok so the ride there was not so exciting because we were all tired and stuff. but as soon as we got there and saw the Achtderbahn it was like. SHOW TIME. Now i mean. i LOVE adrenaline, i have always known this. but i have never truly been able to test it out. but then i see this HUGE roller coaster that just goes on a straight incline up to straight down, over and over and over, and for some of you these coasters might seem really tiny and no big deal but they were awesome. and i KNOW that when given the opportunity to go on ANY coaster. i WILL rise to the challenge. anyways it was the FIRST thing we did when we got there. and I gotta say that when we got to the seats i definitely had butterflies but then, i was like, i KNOW that later i will love this. *minor detail. you get to go only once around... boo* anyways we head out and then a couple seconds later we are going higher and higher and higher and i am like oh shit. (no other words to express it) and then, because we are not at the very front you dont have a clear idea of when you go over... until you do.. so then all of a sudden my hands were in the air. i was screaming, and i felt like i was on top of the world. everytime it went gave me another tiny thrill that i wish i had constantly. so then after we headed to this Poseidon ride, it was like a roller coaster mixed with a water ride cause at the end you make a huge splash and get wet but at first its just like a normal roller coaster.
caught up in something

Hi again: Loved your latest blog and your thoughts on a train,self reflection is a very good thing Jerrie. The ride on the roller coaster was a great experience for you, you are so into adventure. I wouldn't even venture on that ride, I am a wimp you know. I hope you have a great weekend and we shall be thinking of you. Love you nana.
I LOVED "Thoughts on a train!" <3
so you!
Europa Park sounds like sooo much laughter & fun! Loved reading every moment! Thanks for blogging! I am on the HAPPY TRAIN! hahaha
Love you to the moon & back!

Jerrie(cherry),
Hi! Just woke up and Nana is making me bacon & eggs so I thought I would write you.
We had a good time at your Mom's with Easter dinner but still isn't the same without you. Molly was in a "downer" mood as she didn't even get excited to see me(weird)! My guess, is that she ate a chocolate Easter Bunny or is eating something she shouldn't.
The weather here has finally taken a turn for the better and wea enjoying a absolutely stellar long weekend. I have been doing all of Nana's spring chores and her yard is looking awesome if I do say myself.
Great job on the video of you roller-coaster ride. You wouldn't catch me on that ride even if you paid me! Looks like you had a good time?
At the end of April, all the star NHL players that didn't make the play-offs will be playing in the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS in Switzerland and if you could get to a game, I think it would be a wonderful experience. Have you seen any ads for these games? I will try and find exactly where in Switzerland these matches will be played. Do you carry a "SHARPIE" with you in case of a chance meeting with a celebrity? I hope the answer is , YES? Roger Fedderer(Tennis Star) must be HUGE in Switzerland?
Nana is calling me that my breakfast is ready so I will continue my letter tonight.
In closing, keep on having FUN and always remember that you are always in my thoughts and that I love you a whole bunch! HAPPY EASTER! Love, Ken. XOXO
I too love "Thoughts on a Train." I smell a play. And I love our chats. You get ten points for being super cool. Love C
Hey Jerrie,
Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it. Euro park sounds cool and I love random thoughts, I had enough time to plan my life the last 12 days and did a little of that but a lot of random thinking too. Straight up and down coasters are the bomb.
Stay classy in Switzerland!
Jerrie,
Hi! I think the hockey World Championship is going on somewhere near Zurich. Have you seen any ads or T.V. commercials about the event? If you could get to one game, I think it would be a wonderful experience as I watched one of the Canada games the other day and the Canadian fans were having a GREAT time!
Anyway, the weather in Cochrane is awful! The golf courses haven't opened and there is still snow in the forecast(what a dump!). How is the climate in Switzerland?
Your arrival date is still on July 3, 2009? I am planning my 3 weeks of holidays around you coming HOME. I can't believe the year has past so fast!
Hope you are still having FUN & can't wait to see you! Love, Uncle Kenny
Jerrie,
Hi! Just thinking about you as the sports channel was talking about how the players(Canadian) can't believe how awesome the fans have been in Switzerland. Team Canada beat your Dad's favorite team, Hungary(9-0).
Anyway, I better get ready for the Calgary Flames(Falmingos) vs. Chicago hockey game as it should be a great one!
By the way, it's still SNOWING here, can you believe it? I know your arriving in July but the mountains could still be white when you fly in.
Bye for now!
Love, Uncle Kenny
P.S. If olive oil is made from olives, what is baby oil made from?
I am laughing at your video and saying "Funny Jerrie!!"
Hey berry!
I can totally relate to those thoughts ahhhhh! crazy how we have the same feelings! great talk on skype last night i thought we would talk for like 15 mins and then i would go to bed....2 hours later hahah Love you1!!!
Update on the blog WOULD be nice! hahahaha
Jerrie,
Hi! Just thinking of you and thought I would write a line or two. I gather you are busy with trying to see as much as you can with only a month and a half to go. Can you believe it? Before you know it, you will be in your own bed! Anyway, the weather here still sucks and we have tried to plant Nana's flowers for the past 2 weekends but luckily we didn't as they would have surely died. They would have and don't call me "shirley"! Your Mom has probably told you about Molly and her sore -ss! I hope that doesn't happen to her again when you are in Hawaii as I don't think I can do what your Mom did to help heal the wound. Yuck! Anyway, keep on having a good time and I will write you soon! Love, Uncle Kenny XOXO
Jer...How are you? HELLO???? I love you and miss you!
