not since january???

jezus fuckin' H crispy southern fried christ. has it really been that long since i put some thoughts up on this blog? i guess so. i've been busy getting on with life and you folks out there that can't get out and enjoy it, i feel a little bad for you.

more on eurothoughts: as i said before, they think we are paranoid. they think we are rich and powerhungy, and that we want to push amerikan imperialism on everyone else in the world. what works for us must surely work for the rest of the world, right? (whatever.) anyway, many folks hold being an amerikan against you. they tend to get you mixed up with your government and will go out of their way to be an asshole toward you.

but they also hold a kind of regard and esteem for this kountry, this place. i mean, it's the only place on the planet that could completely close it's borders and be self-sufficient. and whether i like it or agree with it, the truth is that amerika is a pace setter for many things in the world and people seem to get jealous of that; occasionally, i'd find myself on a pedestal.

the long and short of it is this: there were a variety of reactions, some warm, some cold, and the whole of the euro experience can be just as varied and confusing as any to be had on amerikan soil.

oh. and btw. if you are into hedonism, the ursurping of authority, and bacchnailian partying, then you should go to mardi gras in new orleans at least once in your life. if you never go, you are missing out on the greatest party in the world. ibiza could be better, not been there yet, so i can't report. but if you happen to be stateside, get off your ass, get in your car or get on an airplane and head for the mississippi delta for the beginning of lent.

more shite later,
