… without a dope beat to step to.

Recently I have (in no particular order):

  • turned 30 and kept off 30 lbs
  • got really drunk for the first time
  • started school again
  • played paintball for the first time
  • added two new words into my lexicon: kidult & honquistadors
  • got my boy back

I am cautiously optimistic about many of the things on the above list, but excited none the less. I realized a strange thing recently… Most people I know tested thier limits and had thier fun in high school or college and then some make the predictable move toward responsibility and a grown-up life (whatever that is). I think the opposite is happening to me. I feel like I was much more serious when I was younger, and only recently have I been able to really live. Either way, I’ve been having a great time lately even when it makes me insane. It’s nice to feel so alive.

Recently a friend of mine broke his hip. At first I thought it was good luck that I had just taken photos of his extensive tattoos because he had to have surgery. He got a good surgeon though and the tattoo survived the insertion of a titanium plate and screws. Unbelieveable.

…and I’ve heard that Whitney & Bobby’s divorce is just a trick to get Osama out of hiding.

Jay TattooThis weekend has been great. Jay & Lisa visited from Mass and I took pictures of Jay’s tattoos.

Then today my company played a game of softball at Keyspan Park in Coney Island. It was so cool – I will post a picture here when I get one. I am happy to say that I caught 3 fly balls for outs and I actually got to make a run in once. It was awesome. I am going to be so sore tomorrow.

Axolotl rarely live above the radar for most people. Why then do I find them so interesting? There was an article in the NY Times today about them.

There is also a short story by Julio Cortazar that discribes a man changing places with an Axolotl in a tank. I remember reading it in Spanish in college and thinking long and hard about the writing and the story. Maybe it’s just because of the way the Nahuatl word sounds. Like how Ahuacatl changed to Aguacate and then Avocado.

Quetzalcoatl, Chocolatl, Coyotl, Tomatl…

Man, I wish I could speak Nahuatl.

I’m writing this to keep track of the fact that I’m having another occular migraine. I was running late this morning too. It was really hard to get out of bed, and now I wonder if it had something to do with this. I can’t write much becuase it’s right in my field of vision, which is annoying. I’ll check in later with something much more interesting.
