What a great title for a reality show. I understand it completely. I was on Americas Next Producer - does that qualifyThe Ants have regrouped - there are some really strange raised bumps on my elbow - seems like eggs are growing under my skin.
As you can see, I havent taken a shower since I left the hostel.
The shower here had three dead roaches in it. This morning there were only one and a half. Both of them missing their legs as if the ants had at them. I saw a bodega around the block randomly selling flip flops instead of hot dogs or newspapers like on the streets of NYC. I might buy a pair and sweep the roachs toward the Beday to attempt a shower.
This is a good lesson in living conditions - I bet this is a palace to some and a h-llhole to others.
Dont forget though, I choose to be here - we all were given the right by whomever you believe in to have FREE WILL. So I can walk out of here at any time. Jesse can go wherever he wants. Steve the Brit and clearly Chip does as well. I bet if Isabelle worked long enough to save for a plane ticket to Canada - she could choose to change her circumstances.
The argument here is - not everyone has these privileges - not everyone has the money or capability etc. I argue that everyone has Free Will but not everyone has the Education! The knowledge and courage to change their life. So I am learning a real appreciation for the Education!
If we were to go into an impoverished town - take a few kids aside for a significant period of years - educate them properly and give them love and instill courage - I bet they will cherish their Free Will and change their circumstances forever.
By the way I just shot a big spider with deet - not sure if hes still alive. Additional photos will always be in an album on facebook.
off to find flip flops...
Hi honey Can"t believe with all the shopping and preparing and deciding the one thing u needed most we decided not to pack.Where was the consult with Ross on that? Hope u took enough deet!!!! Stay safe LUV Mom
ReplyDeleteBest...blog...title...ever!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I agree with Matt BEST BLOG TITLE EVER!! Second, I can't believe you were up at 7:15 am!!!! Third, get those flip flops and TAKE A SHOWER!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteShould have had your OCD consultant help with the packing. I have a feeling flip flops is just the start. There are many OCD processes that could be considered helpful on a trip like this. Example. Gallons of Bleach.. hmmmm :-D I must say getting these e-mails makes my day. Who needs to buy a book and READ, when i have the real world of Bradley Gallo adventures to fill me with emotions of laughter, fear, sadness, relaxation, and appriciation. ROCK ON bro and remember when walking down those alleys, you are bigger than everyone and you look like "THE ANIMAL". Think of the local bad guys like bee's they are more scared of you then you are of them...
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, I am way bigger than them, but they have the language, the motorcycles and the random slugs that I saw eat a roach while I was showering today. You dont know the feeling of Scievvvy til slug arm comes from under a wall crack and snatches a roach eating it whole while you are naked. Thank God for the 6 reales I had to buy child size flip flops.
ReplyDeleteIn some countries, curried roaches are a delicacy so in reality you had food right on your shower floor and didn't know it! Thanks for the entertaining reads... :) Keep it up and stay safe you lunatic!
