01/07/2003 Entry: "i have to pee"
oh well it will have to wait. i can't really do alot of computer stuff in Kollur cause there are a limited number of phone lines, and only during certain times of the day will you be able to get on the internet. say like between 10pm and 7 am. i know alot of people like to hear from me personally on email but right now i can't devote tons of time to it. i will read each email if i respond i respond you know. but i;'ll tell you what im doing. well nothing really. i swim in a river and bathe in it, its a nice river its warm and the water is said to have medicinal qualities. so far i'm not breaking out with weird skin diseases, so i guess thats cool. and it isnt filled with garbage, thats pretty good too. i read alot of books, i just finished 'catch 22' by joe heller wow that is some good stuff i really enjoyed it, really it was great. sometimes i do a little chanting, theres' also a farm nearby that i've been to a couple of times that is pretty cool. i haven't been to the temple yet even though i've been here a week but i'm gonna go tomorrow i think. sometimes i pick up a newspaper, and i wonder if i will be able to comeback to the us or not. i hope the war(landgrab) in iraq doesnt' affect the mainland, but you never know, a couple of suicide bombs in key cities and the next thing you know everyone is a suspect and Big Brother will no longer be watching from a safe and manegable distance. psst here's a secret. everytime they say 'national security' substitue 'profit' or 'deletion of constitutional freedoms' its fun! oh this is a fun one find a complete speech by bush lately, since 9.11 and do a cut and past in word replace "terrorist" with "human being" oh its great fun. and then dont forget to take your prozac and smile when they take you away.
luckily in india no one will take me away, i am safe in a remote village far from big cities, far from overzelous gestapo policemen (the police here are incompetant) and far from a general public that would sooner take 2 and worry about it tomorrow. i don't use drugs anymore, but i recomend that people on anti depressants throw them away and smoke pot if it makes them happy, or get on a bike and ride around for a couple of hours, or go to the woods and howl at the moon, or whatever. but thats just my opinion. drugs are bad, all of em! not just the illegal ones, the legal ones too. actaully the legal ones 'prescribed by a caring physicannnnn' are sometimes worse than the illegal ones.
i mean, smoking the dope never gave me 'dizzy spells' or 'stomach cramps' but i'm blathering on and getting close to offending some people.
i wish everyone could come over here, then i wouldn't have to go back. well not everyone. but everyone reading this.
so if you fly from new york to bombay you can get a round trip open ended 6 month return for about 800 bucks if you shop around and do your homework. figure about $1000 per 2.5 months this includes hotel food and stuff like books, small goods, etc general tourist stuff.
so get moving. cause i'm coming back here, and if none of yall want to come i'll find people that will.
may - october 1 is the rainy season so anytime after oct 1 is good. give yourself 2 weeks of culture shock and then you'll have miles of smiles.
ps while in india we dont.........eat meat.......use drugs.....mock anybodys belief system.......
we do..........act humble...........smile........expericence the taste of fruit and vegetables that we did not know were in existence..............contemplate god and wonder if it even matters.
ciao

calcutta smiled at clevebland and said 'ha!' try to match this. and clevebland said i have deth lakes and poison water and people being shot in broad daylight, and calcutta said i have people with freakish bodies saying hello when you get off the train, buildings falling down, and poison water and my people live in shacks surrounded by their own excrement, and clevebland said ha i have fat fat men eating steak everyday and i have the 'thome tripple' and there are no cows because we ate them all and calcutta said you win

clevebland cries very few tears and the ones it does are black. the foul city wondered where you were and it realized you escaped before it could sink its rotten teeth into your neck. sister splaker said you should come back and drown in one of its manmade lakes.
