Life In Other Places

After 5 days on a secluded beach it has become apparent that I am very good at doing nothing. I can sit in a chair with a vacuum in my head and trot off to the beach for a dip whenever I deem it appropriate.

I can slowly peruse through dinner, lunch, and breakfast without breaking a sweat.

I'm not going to talk about how many books I brought for reasons that are my own, but even reading seemed difficult. If the person I'm mildly referring to gets a little excited here that she was right, my response is that there is a long way to go. I can devour books for breakfast, Huxley or no.

It's 7 in the morning, and I am waiting for a bus. I'm wearing the same clothes I have been wearing for three days because they remain the cleanest.

I think I have a flu coming on, and I had to get up three times last night to 'take care of business'. It might have been the sting ray I had for lunch, but the bus ride scares me. 10 hours is a long time to hold on.

I don't think I'll ever drink vodka again after this trip.

Yesterday I really missed my friends.

Seeing amputees in Cambodia scares me. A big part of me wants to jump country to Thailand, but one must do things that one doesn't want to sometimes.

My bus is here.

Why be scared of amputees? What harm can they do to you? how about giving them a smile and a dollar every time you see them?
