It is 18 past midnight and I am still up. :) I've just finished reading some online criticism on the book "1421: The Year China Discovered America"--nothing deep, just what came up first on Google. Because of it I have now become so discouraged from reading the book any further. I was on Part 3 of the book (hard copy, first edition of the ( Read more... )

Here is a story that I think is funny, I'll refrain from posting any tangents in this story. When I was a young lad of about the ripe old age of 10, I really wanted to learn how to bike. So one day I borrowed my younger brother's bike. It was a bit short for me, but not by much. I could still use it without any difficulties. That day i must ( Read more... )

Sitting at the library I take time to write her now. I am procrastanating, of course. As of late nothing really has happened to me. I have spent days without seeing other people other than those that are immidiately near me at X time. I have finished reading a short story by Borges. It is so complicated. His vocabulary is so rich and powerful ( Read more... )

Amazing how one can just waste a whole day on just thinking on what to do, how to do it, actually doing it (but thinking it), how to do it better, etc. That happened to me today, but it was just for an hour. That was the longest hour of nothing and everything. Imagine being stuck in an eternal state of thought!!! Never doing anything, just ( Read more... )

If anyone saw me around campus this past winter or the winter before they would have noticed that I could be easily be poited out as the guy with a bright blue scarf and an Andean hat. I loved that hat with a passion. I first bought it when I went on a high school trip to Peru. I thought that it was the best thing ever since it was iconic of ( Read more... )

Last I left this story I told you about just emersing myself into the wonder and beauty (despite the varacious flesh-eating flies) of the GOR. Well this time around I intend to continue the herculean task of grasping this all into the written medium ( Read more... )

Oh yes, they are created to make us sick of them, but at the same time to make us long them!!! The infectuous song that is currently driving mad is called "From Paris to Berlin" (I think) by Inferno. It is a dico/dance song. So you can imagine what that means. A simple chorus, steady bass beats, technological instrument noises and repetition up ( Read more... )

This past weekend I took a trip to the most wonderful place in the world. They call it the Great Ocean Road! This place is beyond words, but I'll try to paint it with words the best I can but make no guarantees. The magnitude of beauty that this place oozes is so much that I'm sure that I'll miss a lot of it ( Read more... )

Ok, so after coming to uni, and waiting around til 5:30 for the African Drumming club to start I watched "Kinsy" here in the COOL library (I know that that's a oxymoron, but it really is true. I love this place. My uni back home should definately try to imitate this chill environment. The 2nd floor at the library just doesn't cut it.). The ( Read more... )

Yes here it is, the Floosey. Why call it that...I dunno. Seriously I don't. But now that I got your attention (ok so I lied! It was to get the attention of someone.), I just have random stuff to write about. Today I checked in to the hostel. Its cool. I met a guy from London and talked with him a little. I didn't catch his name because I ran ( Read more... )
