Words are all I have now anyway...Itīs been quite the time lately so I figure I should try to capture it a bit in words, since my camera was stolen, but weīll get to that all in time. I just took this great walk in panama city. I am near the ocean in a hospedaje called Las Tablas (the significance Iīll explain later). I walked towards all the high rises. There they are, these towers piercing the sky. I got three mandarines and two bananas at this nice fruit store amongst the fancy high rises. Also a little carton of milk [View Full Entry]

Well, I didn't expect to be here, but sometimes you just end up on a tropical island. Your chances are better when you're travelling thru central america without much purpose. So, I was in San Jose, and I had a good feeling about the place, like I could live there. I started taking doxycyclin because I have had some crazy health lately, and I think I have pneumonia. Anyway, it's been helping and I hope I'm feeling better, but the progress seems really slow. One night I had really high fever in San Jose. Basically, i was sick and weak the [View Full Entry]

As I was saying... man it has just not been my time lately. Argh! I was just typing my blog and it got lost. One of those days. I guess Iīll just start off by ranting, because that is what Iīm most in the mood for. I talked to my mom last night and asked her if she got the package I sent, and she said, no I got some insurance information...I was like, WHAT? Yes, thatīs what she got. I sent my pics and notebooks, and some music books from guatemala. Now it hasnīt come, and I donīt know if [View Full Entry]

Live Forever I wanna live forever--are you ready to die? Living like you're dying, let me ask you why? If you were given the chance at eternal breath would you accept life or slide towards death? I wanna live forever--at least a thousand years so I could watch the world grow and die between tears my crying turns to gold and I look on in awe heart full of diamonds from what I felt and saw cold as a diamond? Hard as a diamond? That's a tough riddle, what saith simon? Simon says live your life right now, it's your chance [View Full Entry]

Pictures from the Jungle... I wrote this poem the day I was hiking all through the jungle. I stopped at an overlook and pondered the hills. Hope you enjoy. The Jungle Within Sitting top a mountain overlooking the jungle I have just enough food and water, living humble soon Iīm off again to bushwack thru the brush seeing all the lush plants gives me such a rush we all cultivate a garden within ourselves and my walk through the rainforest is like venturing thru myself Itīs wild inside me, overgrown, chaotic holding species rare, varied, exotic with the disorganization comes so [View Full Entry]

Here are some pics, let them tell the stories for now, since Iīve been lacking pics for so long, now Iīm overcompensating for it. Here are a few poems. This first one, I wrote in the first class at Zamorano that I went to. As usual, not paying attention. What is progress? Nobody knows. Passing forward, but where do we go? Studying so hard, back in school again, spending the day ĻlearningĻamong some friends I donīt pay much attention--Iīm writing poems flourescent lights but sun outside--I feel right at home man this is too perfect as everything is sometimes donīt know [View Full Entry]

From Zamorano, a university that is a country within a country... I donīt have homework so my mind is free to think about whatever it is I need or please I donīt have people telling me how to act, no rules no one saying No No NO!

Jonas with the bush. IT just grew right in our yard in utila! No one smoked it though.
Well, it's pretty wild to start a new year. It's funny to think that it's 2007, sometimes we wonder where all the time went. I had a great new year, but here I am still on utila. I haven't moved in 2 and a half weeks. As you can imagine, it can get a little boring after a while, being in one place that long. You start eating at the same place and doing the same thing over and over, and all that. No, just kidding. It's been great! I was thinking back to last new years, and how I went [View Full Entry]
