The Sirens of Titan

This book is great like the other Vonnegut novels that I have read. You should check it out.

I've also been checking out a health food book by Amy Cotler called The Locavore Way. Some of the distances that our food travels is astounding. There is a farm in my town that looks like Dracula's castle. I think I might check it out and see if I could get a few eggs.

Read.

Chappelle Show

I miss it. I was watching some Charlie Murphy's true hollywood stories tonight. I wish the show would start up again.

Now I am watching "To Catch a Predator." I used to watch it a lot when I lived on New Britain road in a three bedroom apartment by myself. That place was tiny and when you stood to use the bathroom the roof would make you bend backwards.

Still reading Factory Girl's. It makes me want to go try and teach English abroad.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a dry wine. Moscoto is sweet.

Now you know.

Factory Girls

Now I am reading a piece of non fiction about a correspond ant of the wall street journal who was living in Beijing and wrote about all the migrant workers who left the villages where they worked as farmers and came to work in the factories that produce so much of what you and I consume.

It is a brilliant book that follows certain workers lives and the author relates certain instances in her own life and her ancestors from China.

I work in Liquor store now and take empties from people.

How's your day goin?

Nostromo

I am reading a novel by Joseph Conrad called Nostromo. It is about an imagined latin america country where political rivals riot and men are very dramatic. It is long and very descriptive. The political explanations of some peoples characters are also very drawn out. I am excited to finish it.

Also, I am back at the Liquor depot working in can redemption. It is a place to learn humility and a place to gain stress.

Berlin is a quiet place and I am looking to leave it again soon.

Monkey Wrestling

I lived with this dog in Africa for a month. His name was Juju and here he is wrestling a monkey.

I finished Eating Animals. You should get a copy because the author Mr. Foer not only makes a great case for being a vegetarian, but he also shows how disgusting factory farming is in the United States and how deplorable the system is. The whole disgusting machine of our food industry is irresponsible and unsustainable.

Now I am reading The Sky and the Forest by C.S. Forester about a man named "Loa" who is a God to his people and brother to the sun. You should check it out. I bought my copy at a small book shop in Old Saybrook, CT.

He is joining me this weekend and we are taking a sojourn up to Maine to explore the state. I'll tell you all about it when I get back.

what's happening

Satan Sandwich? Satan fries? Nancy Pelosi is getting me hungry.

I'm reading Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. You should give it a look through if you are thinking about becoming a vegetarian and also if you want to know where the meat you eat comes from.

I just applied at Panera Bread and they had an interesting questionnaire at the end. One of those strongly agree/strongly disagree. I didn't really enjoy doing it. What does asking me if I am adventurous have to do with making people bread and soup?

Oh yeah and Maxtall! I was at the gym and they had a wonderful commercial on about gel inserts that you can place inside of your shoes to make you a few inches taller. Of course then you get the sexy girl at the park, close the business deal, and be able to look eye to eye with your boss. I am thinking about getting some for my friend Jason to make him six nine.

Back Home

So I am back home in Berlin. I spent three months in Western Africa and had a wonderful time traveling with some great people. Some of the people that I met where so gracious and kind that it was hard to leave them. It is a different way of life there, and many people here take a large amount of things for granted.

I hope you are all well. I am just finishing up an autobiography by Johnny Cash entitled "Man in Black." It is very preachy and I didn't know that Cash was such a religious man.

While I was gone I didn't read as much as I should have, but I made an effort. Sometimes when you think about how much time you have to kill on a bus you tell yourself you are going to read and write, but many things creep up on you and it gets difficult to focus. Fatigue and the uncertainty of your destination can cause extreme lethargy.

I hope all of you can get a chance to travel soon, and you should read as much as you can while you do. Now that I am home I am going to try to save up for my next trip, which I don't know the destination yet, and I am going to try to go back to school.

See you when I see you.
Read a book er 2.
