Inbetween elation and...crap

Soon, it will all be over, and soon (although a little later), I'll be on my way to a whole new world, although without aladin or jasmine. I wonder how they're doing these days, I'll be Aladin got a job as a maintenance worker at the palace after the princess discovered how entirely different their lifestyles were when the big A-boy caught and slaughtered a dove for lunch, on the new silk chair... or something like that.

Got my visa for India, but they stole some money, I'm going to bomb the country... reasonable and equitable response I think!

LSATs, if I don't talk to anyone for the next week, forgive me, I'm trying to set up a good life for myself with a 3 hour test, I figure I've fucked with the rest of it enough, I might as well try and get this part right, I owe it to myself.

Ohhh... so tired... again

Thats about it for now

I'm so tired

All I want to do is finish the decision I've finally made, I vvawant to buy da camera, and any funds I can collect from various types of trashcans and sidewalks will probably help me in the cause. I'm going for a Nikon 8800 because of its compactness comparred to a digital SLR and versatility, including movie features, long zoom, and close to wide angle... Well, who cares about money when you are trying to create memories, which one will last you longer in the "long end?" And for someone with as poor a memory as me (yet possessing the ability and smarts to make money easily when needed), I think the choice is obvious, or is it.

So the cost negative benefits maginifetsss.... cheaper, lower quality, larger, easier to get stolen, more apparent, less money, 300 dollars goes pretty far over there... Ug I'm so confused, but I've made my decision and I just have to figure out a way (tired as I am) to stick by it.

Ah enough of this babble, I recognize it for what it is

To India!!

So in case you don't know or haven't found out because I haven't talked to you in too long, I'm going to India for almost a year to teach at a private school. I'll be in Bangalore, in South Central India, 100+ miles from the coast so anybody worrying about tsunamis, don't, there's plenty of better things to worry about!

Bangalore is a pretty large city ~6 million people, but I'll be in the suburbs around 15 miles out. I'll be teaching English Lit, American culture/history, and Basic Chinese (sometimes they see your resume and they pick the oddest things) at this school;

If you want to know some more about India, well, you can't, but here are a couple sites just in case

www.virtualbangalore.com

http://india-tourism.com/

I'll be over there for hopefully 10 months, although I'm still working on my Visa, and I'm going to visit as many places in the region as I can, however, after 10 months in India, I may not have enough money to get back, so if you see a skinny guy walking down the street with a raggedy beard and tattered backpack, make sure to give him a second glance, chances are I could use a ride. I'll be getting paid about $100 a month, so anybody who wants to send me a care package, friendly letter, or food of any sort, feel free!

If you feel like getting in touch with me, there will be a couple ways, I'll be using this email address as my primary Spirerain@hotmail.com, and if you want to call me, hopefully I'll have regular internet access (once a day) and worst case scenario is once a week, but phone cards run about 8 cents a minute from www.nobelcom.com, although there may be better deals out there, I haven't searched much.

A better idea though (contingent on me finding good internet access), is to use VoIP, thats basically talking over the internet....FOR FREE!!!! Go to www.skype.com and create an account, and search for my name or ID (Spirerain). You can talk to anyone in the world for free over the internet, or you can add some change and call anyone's phone for fantastic rates (better to find a phone card for india still though if you're calling to a real phone). But seriously, this program is tight, and its FREE!!!!

I'm going to be taking a digital camera and will be posting photos up on www.kodakgallery.com with my name Spirerain although you may have to use my email Spirerain@hotmail.com as a login to view the gallery. You may have to join to view my album, sorry if this is a hassle.

One more thing, I'll be doing these things called "podcasts", which are basically online radio shows made by the average joe, similar to "blogs." So I'll be giving details of my life in India and you'll be able to hear me as well. You can find out more about podcasts at www.podcastalley.com, some of the people there are really funny. Give it a shot.

Long time

Its true, I the mighty Juan Gonedigo de San Marcheviato, will proceed to dig this ditch of enormous size, breadth and capacity, in order to allow the passage of the mighty ship that I see not too far in the distance. Most people might think it impossible that one man and his trustworthy steed of stainless steel wheels could not possible manage this daunting goal of moving 5 million cubic yards of topsoil and limestone. Yet, none of these naysayers know of my secret weapon, the inconquerable drill bit that I attach to the mighty phallus hanging sturdly from my groin. It is so mighty in fact, that I simply attach the diamond coated covering, line up on the desired trajectory, and begin looking at the pictures of erotic postures I have neatly lined like the ubiquitious carrot-on-a-stick-in-front-of-a-donkey routine. This occasionally proves difficult because of my lack of arms, but the mighty Juan Gonedigo de San Marcheviato will not countenance failure for such measly hindrances as no arms or legs, I have...the drill...

(Subsequently in this story that probably should not be continued due to its irrelevance to any pertinent fact of any insignificant period of time, Juan attempts his magnificent feat, falls out of his wheel chair onto the ground, proceeds to dig straight downwards, until his magazine is torn to shreds by friction, and rather than valiantly saving the cruise ship that is uncontrollably running aground, he manages to "pound" his way through the fuel hull, causing a spark right as he punctures the third hull of protection, causing a cascading river of fire to envelop the cruise ship and seep out onto the last preserve of the almost extinct, imminently rare, spectacularly beautiful, talking iridescent snapping turtle. Juan has since been brought up on charges of willful destruction of national and private property, extinction of endangered animals and habitat, 1st degree manslaughter, public nudity/indecency, and the hospital sent him to the collection agency for not returning the wheelchair, which amazingly, was actually protecting the last turtle from the flames until a chance boiler from the cruise ship landed on it. Juan has been convicted of all charges postmortem, because he did not show up to court to defend himself.)
