Today I welcomed a foreign feeling: Naive. And by welcoming, I mean I was hoping I'd feel it sooner or later. There's only so much optimism and idealism that is truth. The remainder is me not knowing shit about shit. About money, insurance, broken bones, malaria, proper tennis shoes, and retirement plans. Third world countries. Should I visit Tibet, and fund its oppressors with my tourist dollars? The Dalai Lama encourages visitations, probably in hopes of awareness, but I will still be..funding his oppressors. Can blinding optimism guide someone around the world, with a bit of luck and some kind of caution?

Smack me if I sound retarded, but in lieu of being naive, I still think being stubborn enough to want to find things out for yourself, with a bit of thriftiness thrown in, can go a long way. I really, really want to see things while I'm still young.

Coast Starlight...Trans-Siberian... When I get those 2 out of the way, I have officially begun.

I just finished downloading the Flaming Lips' Soft Bulletin. It is good stuff.
