Everything is Broken, and I Can't Fix it
I am going to admit that I have been reading the Bible...uhhh, I mean the Da Vinci Code. Its infectious and I was looking for something to read and it was there. Now, I am not saying that Jesus...uhhh, I mean Dan Brown is a good writer ( he is actually one of the worst writers in the universe). But his uncanny ability to leave a dude hanging leaves the reader wanting to know more and Jesus ... I mean, Dan Brown seems to be very knowledgeable about artistic lore. according to him everything you know about art relates to some coincidence to which the purposeful intent of the artist is pure genius. ANYWAYS. This is my last week here and honestly, I cannot wait to get back because I miss my homies ( eventhough they gone away). Another reason I cannot wait to get back is because Italian women are unbearably attractive, and its made me realize that I am nothing : I have never felt so unattractive in my life. Our Savior, Dan Brown, would attribute this disparity to the centuries in which the sacred feminine was oppressed. Needless to say I need out, also I miss the subtleties of midwest life Free Refills Frisco Melts French Fries and good beer. but here is an update. My camera broke, then my ipod broke ( which i am still in the state of denial), prior to my arrival here my Playstation 2 broke, and my computer broke. This leaves my wristwatch as my only functioning electronic appliance. In some ways this is the worst vacation thatI have been on. but in countless other ways this has been one of the most interesting vacations I have been. The Italian culture is very intriguing and has made me respect my humble Indian American upbringing. I also saw alot of monumental shit. The David was jaw-dropping, florence is beautiful, verona was sweet and peaceful, and the surrounding Islands charm rivals the tourist-trap that is Venice. So, i f you wanna feel poor, unattractive and crowded then Venice on a saturday afternoon is for you. But search hard for the beauty, because Scola San Rocco ( Tintoretto's paintings) , Frari Chapel (Titians lair), and the amazing pizza is what i will selectively remember this place for and shall try to forget the negatives of the city, because my mind shall only reserve good memories for people places and things that i have encountered throughout the city. CIAO!
