Sometimes I am glad for the little bit of language barrier that exists between my father and I. I think I would go crazy if i really understood just how much we misunderstand each other. I know that a big gap exists between who I am and what my father knows of me.. and vice versa for me to him. I am glad that we can still appreciate each other though.
I have to admit that I feel a little guilty about days like today. The weather was incredible. I think my body feels like somehow I stole time itself and jumped about 3 months into the future. Felt like one of those spring days that are just on the verge of turning to summer. The sun was hot but the air cool enough to keep being outside enjoyable. When the sun sets here time jumps back a bit again to mid spring where the air is cold enough to need a jacket. The wind was coming in off the sea so it wasn't dusty at all. The past few days its been dry and dusty with wind from the north east. On those days I can feel a light film of dust over my teeth any my eyes and nose dry up. If its particularly bad it feels like a small dune has begun to collect in my stomach.
As nice as the weather has become its scary how quickly it has changed. literally each day is warmer than the last. My cousins tell me that in about two more weeks it will be too hot to be enjoyable in the afternoons.
Reading log: finished both 20th century ghosts and Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns. Highly recommend both of them. I was really surprised by how much i liked the Batman book. I usually dont like superhero graphic novels but this one was really well done.
So today i went to one of those meditation groups where i use my chakras to send "loving kindness" to planet earth. It was cool. We met near one of the nicer beaches in Kuwait City. Some people were obviously bothered by my choice of mediation mat; plastic. I had like 3 people mention that i should bring a better mat and I got the impression that a few folks were complaining about it to the mediation guide. It was in Arabic so I cant be sure. She did respond that as long as there weren't any crystals everything should be fine for the other participants. It was a good chance to meet new folks and an interesting way to start the day but definitely not my thing. I could be mistaken though. My energy might have been blocked by the usage of a plastic mediation mat. Maybe with the proper mat I will have better results. Maybe.

duh.
so i hear you're living Footloose... poor dulla. have you seen the Flight of the Conchords remake of it? here it is, for your viewing enjoyment: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pfA_X6MRiV8
I have seen that before, they are hilarious. My favorite skit of theirs is the lord of the rings song. Seriously, its footloose city over here. It is the THIRD time footloose has been referenced today. I even caught the bacon dance routine on a music video channel over here today. odd.
Plastic for a meditation mat is bad huh? Well, next time bring a baseball bat to meditate on. See how they like that.
i just finished dark knight returns and dark knight strikes back. is it just me or does dk make you want to become batman just so you can be an awesome old man?
have you read kingdom come?
I have not read either of those... I cant wait to get my hands on them. DK gives me hope. I have to admit a part of me cant wait to grow old so i can use a late life crisis as an excuse to run around in a cape and beat the shit out of people.
