I've been staying at my Mom's house in Ashland, OR. I've accepted a job at a university in Thailand that starts at the beginning of November. I passed up a job in Korea that payed three times as much with approximately the same cost of living. I did so because the Thailand job has fewer hours and is located in a very small city surrounded by Buddhist temples. I hope to use my free time to continue my study of the world.

This Fine Art

as monotonous as knitting, as melancholy as piano, as treacherous as fencing, as solitary as painting, as ferocious as poetry, as chilling as the bull-fight, as uplifting as gardening, as erotic as sculpture,

Just Me Aping Wisdom

By seannelson on Tue, 06 Sep 2005

The recent finding that all of the great apes are in extreme danger of extinction should cause all of humanity to stop and really think about the paths we've chosen and where they're leading. If the world were a wheat farm, modern humans could best be likened to locusts, everywhere sucking up the wild life and replacing it with hungry young hoppers. But unlike in the case of the locust, there are no nearby wheat farms to continue our lifestyle on.

I still have ten fingers, ten toes, and enough coordination to type this. I have a can of Coke in the freezer and I'm waiting for it to cool off. I'm considering going to teach kids English in South Korea. I don't even know what age kids I'd be teaching and I'm not sure I can picture myself actually carrying it out. But whatever I do now, it'll be hacking it. My mom's mid-twenties room-mate is in the kitchen making a vegetable smoothie; My mom and her have been on a five-day fast, all the while living hectic, modern lives. They've been taking all these pills, too. It seems to me that if one is going to fast, one should be in a situation where she can do only a moderate amount of work.
