admissions


end of summer beachtime

this was taken, as it says, on the beach in mar del plata. after all the griping and general unhappiness i've had here, i still look at the country as one of the most beautiful and diverse places on earth. ok, buenos aires isn't for me...but there are few countries in the world with the geographical landscape that argentina has to offer....

rain forest and waterfalls in the northeast

dry desert andes in the north west

lush prairie in the middle

beautiful coastline on the east

alpine andes in the west

arctic archaepeligos in the south

and, a sparse population...with 14 mil in buenos aires, and an overall population of 38 mil...that's not bad.

so, yes, argentina, you win this round. i won't cry for you, but i will say you are beautiful.

another admission.

when i was in grade 12, i got a girlfriend. one night at a party, two of my friends said that they liked her and would 'kiss her' if they had the chance. when they weren't looking, i went upstairs and threw their shoes across the farm parking lot into a snow bank. don't mess with me. i won't fight you, but i'll spite you. and you'll never know. or, you might know, but feel it too strange to confront me on what you think i might have done.
