The trip to Cochabamba, Bolivia was a long and arduous one, full of no-fun. I left my apartment in columbus at about 4:30 on a Tuesday morning for my 7:40 am flight to Miami. As soon as I got past security, I realized that I forgot my passport type photo that I need for my Bolivian visa. Darn. Since I arrived so early at the airport, I scoured the internet for a place in Miami where I could get such a photo taken (I had a 5 hour layover there, so I would have ample time to leave the airport and go get such a photo taken). I found a Fedex that offered the services I required only ten miles away. I could catch a cab there, get the photo, and come back no sweat. Wait ... read more


Lets see...where to start. Feels like after all the excitement over the weekend things have dulled down some. Its tuesday and wondering where the day would lead I did the usual with breakfast with some Pan and had to borrow a 50cent boliviano piece in order to have enough money to ride the trufi. Went to school and we almost finished the movie Ghandi and like usual did some more reading. These days I have a tendency to read more than I feel like writing so excuse the vast abruptness. Well after classes and some starcraft I talked to John about maybe helping out at the orphanage in the mornings like he had done but still not sure if its worth loosing sleep over. John and I at around 530ish went to grab some beers and ... read more


HELLO ALL You boys and GIRLS ID LIKE to takE YOU to the INSIDE WORLD ITS QUITE AN IRREGULAR PLACe TO BE BUT NEVER FEAR YOUR SAFE WITH ME,....WEll maybe.. -FRIZZLE FRY PRIMUS Over the past weekend Friday through Sunday night I was in a place called TORO TORO. Starting on Thursday the 5th was the prelude to the independence day of BOLIVIA. During this day I actually thought it was Bolivian independence day but I guess it was like the preparty. Even after class we were given like the bombest bolivian hotpocket chicken ball thing and observed a dance that was taking place in the hallway of our school. John was what appeared to be more tired than usual and tipped his hat down and was napping in a way. Well I observed the best ... read more

I just discovered this fruit called a Carambola which is sweet/bitter but very satisfying and just had some more cheese rice like I did for lunch along with a bunch of fat on a bone which I guess I was supposed to devour but failed miserably at doing so. I have to admit this whole trip Ive been filled to the brim and in a weird way im probably losing weight and getting thinner. EVen Marta Johns MOM commented on this. Maybe it was TUNARI. I still feel midly different than NOrmal due the fact that I am still recovering from Last nights drinking with John downtown. EVen today after helping out at the orphanage today John and I went and got a couple Johnny walker NEGROS (Whisky) and were satisfied at the outcome. 2 days ... read more


Today was feeling kind of hungover and considering how much I drank it suprised me how well I was feeling. Went down stairs at half hour past ten and found mirza waiting to cook me something for breakfast. Cant really recall what I had to eat considering I am currently writing this after I acomplished TUNARI and with all the input my memory is a little hazy. After I remember making my way upstairs and playing more starcraft before a shower that I TOOk. AFter my electric shower I started playing more starcraft and JOhn had texted me wondering if we were going to LA cancha and I responded with a YES SIr! I made my way to Johns house and Hopped on the 16bus with no problems and shortly arrived at JOHNS house. John and ... read more


Woke up today still quite tired from yesterdays headache. I even got to sleep in knowing that on Fridays we didnt have a first period so instead of class starting at 8am it started at like 850. I had some more cornflakes for breakfast with some bread and ham? not really sure what the meat is still I like to think its ham. Well grabbing my keys I was out the door and there was an odd feeling as if half of bolivia was missing or something. I didnt see any Trufis so continued walking down the street hoping to catch a BUS. I waited for like 10min wondering...HMM...where DID ALL THE BUSES AND TRUFIS GO?? Really confused I was expecting to see one or the other in the next ten minutes but none arrived. I ... read more


Lets see well I guess another group of people have started another 6week program so theres some new faces. I met some girl Brenedatte or somethin yesterday playing soccer which was different because I usually dont play at all. Used to be my most disliked sport and after running around quite a bit with little reward I forced myself into the goalie position and actually took a devastating blow from the ball when my old korean friend Pablo kicked it with all his might and I blocked it with my stomache. that was yesterday. Today I went to my first class and really didnt want to read some holy passages wanted to read more of a book. I noticed when arriving to class that John was no where to be found...I actually thought he was going ... read more


Anything you can acquire is only another thing you can loose, paranoid is opiate of the masses People claim that when this trips over I will be an adult but I know that they are wrong. the problem here is I will never grow up I will always be cracking jokes during inappropriate moments for the sake of good vibes. I have concluded that I am an empirical scientist that is my new religion. I learn everything from testing it out and comprehending my experiences. If youd like to challenge me on this go right ahead I will not be offended. John just gave me Immanuel Kants Critique of pure Reason via PDF which I know will continue helping with my developing mind and morals. Also note that you must see to feel for without the ... read more


Watching 300 in spanish at the moment which is entertaining considering Ive seen it quite a few times and now Im using the movie as practice to try and depict what people are saying in the film. I must have slept at least 10hrs and always waking up at 7am everyday is becoming routine so sleeping in has become a luxury. Well it has been literally the longest 2 days of my life waiting for starcraft 2 to be released and I presume that is where a vast amount of my spare time will be eaten up and blog entries might start to slack. I woke up to the door bell ringing and thought for sure I had slept in too late as our huge indian brunch was about to take place at my pad at ... read more


Just ate some apple salad?? Lets see its currently 9pm July 24th and theres some terrible DJ next door who sucks at scratching and djing so bad that I had to put on headphones to mute the sounds. Mediocre day today but yesterday was full of Laughs and personal crys. Not doing this blog like my previous more of doing a breif overview because there were some powerful moments especially today. Yesterday was Danielleas birthday and there was going to be a party at my house at around 8pm So the whole day I was searching for a gift or at least a Card. Since it was Friday and after having teachers for 2 weeks we were about to get new ones come monday. After class yesterday Kitty told me she wanted to see me in ... read more
