2. Thanks, he is living close to my daughter which is good
within 10 min walking distance, he has found a one room efficiency which is very hard to do in Copenhagen.
My daughter found it for him.



He seems to finally be on some kind of path for him after studying physics, electronics, video game programing
and then not doing anything for the last year.

4. Thanks I needed some good news today
Looks like I got it.

Sunrise doesnt last all morning
A cloudburst doesnt last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
Its not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

Sunset doesnt last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
Its not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of lifes strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day]/b]

A lot of people say he does look like Orlando

couldn't come at a better time for me to meet some nice, like minded people.

8. Thanks, I like that I don't have to pay for it, they pay him
Not enough to live on, but the school is free and he gets a monthly check from the government
I help him a little here and there with expenses.

10. He practiced on his own, so none officially
Edited on Fri Sep-29-06 04:50 PM by IChing
I heard the news today from my daughter and will talk to him tomorrow, he just started school.
He has a degree like an AA degree, but has an affinity for languages, accents and characterizations
He does a mean ass Cartman.
