Fooling around with Maryland girl
Well our no longer talking did not last very long, and things have slowly gotten more intimate between us. Last night especially was the case. We have not had sex yet, but things are getting closer and closer to that. She still has her boyfriend back home. I guess she realized that us not being intimate was just impossible. We were talking once and ( Read more... ) -
It is just too easy
Last night I made out with a friend. A friend who has a boyfriend waiting for her back in Maryland. The Russian as expected was not smart enough to figure out how to get to China without someone telling her what to do. I was surprisingly not as disappointed as I thought I would be about that, but her lack of being able to think past five minutes ( Read more... ) -
Tolstoy man...
I am currently trying very hard to finish War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. I have been reading this book for months, even since before coming to China. The book is so long and he just drags it out, describing things meticulously. This is a good trait to have as a writer, but he just takes it to another level. I read it on my Kindle so I do not ( Read more... ) -
Worried about the future again
In two months my contract to teach in Colombia comes to an end. Yesterday I started looking for work but like in the United States, finding employment is a mission here. I can of course stay in Colombia now without any problems so that is a good thing but I worry about contract work. By Colombian standards, the contract work I can find for teaching ( Read more... ) -
Anarcho-Primitivism
Anyone who knows me on a personal level knows that Fight Club is one of my favorite movies. No surprise really, given that Tyler rejects material possessions, modern society, and capitalism in general. Tyler is actually an anarcho-primitivist which, unsurprisingly, has certain elements in common with communism. Is it at all shocking then that I ( Read more... ) -
Consider the Communist
Consider the young communist. An idealist young teenager full of hope and dreams of change. This can be said of how many communists and former communists would say they got wrapped into the belief. Many of us try hard to just jump into Marx right away but the utter complexity of it all makes it difficult to grasp. Surely though, the idea of ( Read more... ) -
Awkward and Pretentious People
So I went to Six Flags Great Adventure today. Totally unexpected but I was offered a free ticket so took up the offer. So I'm waiting on the line for one roller coaster right, by myself because no one wanted to get on with it and there is this girl behind me who is wearing a Beatles shirt. As anyone who has ever been on a line knows there is not ( Read more... ) -
Old Notes
I've been looking over some old notes of mine I had written in various notebooks I had throughout the years. It is a reminder of how much I have changed from years ago to today. The first thing I looked at was some notes I had written from my first job straight out of university. Boy did I hate that job but I was determined to make it work, despite ( Read more... ) -
Weights and being social
For the longest time I've been telling myself to get a gym membership. I've been working out at home since I first ever started working out. Being the frugal self that I am, I just bought some weights and made it work. Lately though I feel as if I can't advance any more from what little weights I have and that I need a gym membership to get ( Read more... ) -
Cell phones and catching up to the times.
My two year contract with T-Mobile ends in July and I've been counting down the days until then. I want to get a pre-paid phone because I don't use my cell phone much to begin with. Other than texting which even then isn't much I don't use it really at all. Most days it just sits on my table. That being said I've already begun looking into pre-paid ( Read more... )
