As I painstakingly type out this blog on a crazy keyboard, I can´t helo but ask myself,¨¨¿Why do they even need all these extra buttons?.¨ like this one: ñ. and this one: ¬ . And all the punctuation keys are scattered haphazardly around the keyboard. ç and that one.
anyway
WE made it to Peru. Just a quick note, if LA is anything like it´s airport, I hope it falls into the ocean. It´s crap tastic and ghetto and nutty. I felt like I´d already arrived in S America if you know what I mean... ç (couldn´t help myself).
That brings me to my next point. Colombia is hot. And the airport also is pretty ghetto. And I have reached a new level of hatred for lines. The only difference between airports in S. America and N. America is that people actually listen to and honor the boarding prioty of the flights. In S. America, as soon as the door opens, everyone surges forth to try and get in (like there´s not going to be enough room... dumb) which leaves the people who listen having to pull all kinds of shinanigans to fit carry-ons in pver head bins.
Anyway
Things that I saw my first day back, that made me chuckle and remember:
Crazy, CRAZY F¿çÑing driving.
Stray dogs, EVERYWHERE!
Lots of exhuast fumes.
VERY PUBLIC BREAST FEEDING... :)(just kidding)
Passed out drunk.
Ads on everything.
Porn all over.
And much much more. But to keep this short, I´ve been running all over since I got here. BYU won the Bowl game so I was happy, though bitter I didn´t see it. and there is one store that is like a wal mart here in this city of over a million people and we went there today. Bloody pandamonium. I´ve never doe the black friday thing, but I suppose this is what it would be like. Except for large green (that´s right, green) Santa Clause costumed dudes and this scary carney looking lady on stilts with a top hat and mask all tricked out in about 10 pounds of glitter. I will keep my adventures well chronicled, do not fear, and woon will be throwing pictures up.
Until later, I am going to eat some chocolate.

The ramble.
Sorry for nothing written during November. Lets have a quick recap: Work, school, Thanksgiving, delicious apple crisp, Joe’s one year older, purchased a nice camera, more work, more school, and…. well, that’s pretty much it.
I’d like to say that I am all gung ho to finish the semester and study hard, but I am burned out. I can’t wait to beat a hasty path to Peru.
For those of you who don’t know, I am going to Peru for four months. My wife and I will fly out on the 20th. I will be receiving 13 credit hours for the things that I am going to be doing. There will also be the latin version of our wedding reception, which should be interesting. A few members of the Chilean family are planning on heading up. Recently there has been a reawakening of some friction between Peru and Chile due to a spy problem. You can read more about this by typing it into the search bar and looking for it (what, did you think I was going to put in a nice fancy hyperlink to make your incredibly easy media consumption experience even more effortless? … HA!) I can already foresee a little drinking ... maybe something crazy will occur. I hope not.
I am writing this at work, and it is 5:11 am. I find that at this hour, I feel like everything takes on a surreal quality and I feel like I am in a dream. Well, a really crappy dream in which my contacts are incredibly dry and I feel like I’m floating outside my own body. But as I sit here, I realize that I only have five more days left. I have worked longer here than anywhere else to date, more than a year straight and I am ready for a break. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great job and it has served me well; but I am tired of being tired. I hope I will be able to come back here when I return, as it is a great place to do homework.
If you need my input about the BYU v UofU football game, or any Mountain West football for that matter, click the Red/Blue football analysis link on the right.
Here’s a list of funny cartoons:
Family Guy, Simpsons, South Park, Robot Chicken, Boondocks, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, The Venture Brothers, Clone High, Daria, Spy Groove, Beevis and Butthead (funnyish), American Dad, The Brak Show and Space Ghost.
One word for every blogger friend:
Politicchic: Smug
Simsisms: Sharp
Joe: Occupied
Utefan: Slouch
Smasherdasher: Mechanic
The Wicked Rage: Con
Kittykat: Unbalanced
Smithfieldman: Overlooked
There is really nothing more to report.
I considered gracing you all with a poem or something, but even in my delirious state, I know that any poem I would write right now would be crap. So … Until next time?
