I really really unapologetically dig "Here in Your Arms" by Hellogoodbye. I don't usually put songs on repeat at all, but I've made an exception here. Because I like. Where we are. When we drive. In your car. I think it's on play #6 right now. Still not tired of it. I've been interested in geography ever since I was a bouncing baby tyke. Now I actually want to go to all of these places I've spent the past 16 years learning about. Where do I start? Nicaragua in approximately 3 weeks, but after that? And after that? I can't live out my life being a "go-wherever-the-wind-takes-me" faggot. Here's the dizzle though: ideally a travel destination of choice would be New Zealand or something, but I've assembled other dreams. Suriname. Suriname kicks ass. I have no idea what the fuck I would do once I got there, but it's a fucking Dutch country surrounded by a French, English, and Portuguese country right in the heart of Spanish-dominated Latin America. And it's full of Indians and Indonesians who speak their own languages. And they've conjured a nifty creole that somehow harmonizes the nation despite all that. And it's not like they've got a lot of room to house all that diversity; it's one of the least densely populated countries in the world. The lower 80% is virtually unpopulated, all left to the owl monkeys and hallucinogenic frogs. I'd have to think of something to do there, but I just have to go. I can't explain it. I must. Suriname's an idea. Or perhaps a remote Pacific island nation nobody ever goes to like Niue. Or to Svalbard, where I will freeze my cold-hating ass off and most assuredly have a miserable time and nothing to do. I don't know why I get fixated on these places. I could also do something practical, like go to Tamil Nadu to make use of the language I'm learning. I'd be cool with that.
Why am I learning Tamil? Fixation. Personally I blame Wikipedia. Every time I hear about a place (or, apparently, a language), I must look it up and learn everything about it. Maybe I'm discovering the undiscovered. Maybe these things really are interesting than people give them credit for. Languages are another new passion of mine. I now know about the existence of probably about 10 times more languages than I knew about 6 months ago. I have an equally puzzling urge to learn utterly useless languages now. I decided on Tamil, but I've also considered learning Dutch, Wolof, Malagasy, Finnish, Sranan Tongo, and even Redjang, but there's no way in hell I'll get to them all, much less use them all. Here's the thing though: I don't really give a flying fuck. I'm just sort of a faggot, I don't know how else to put it. Sorry guys.
Our lips. Can touch. Here. OK here's something. A couple months ago my then-girlfriend broke up with me to be with a guy whom she had previously told me was gay. Here's the thing though: I think maybe he actually is. The guy watches musicals, goes shopping for fun, all of his friends are Asian chicks, and he won't commit to a real, official relationship with my ex. She just sort of pretends that she's in one with him. But he was raised uber-conservative, so naturally coming out would be a problem. Oh the naivity. Fuck it though, bitches ain't shit. If you add "bitches ain't shit" at the end of any emo-rant about troubled relationships, it negates all of the emo and makes you macho. I've always said that.
Sergeant Harrison Yates is not only the best thing ever to happen to South Park, but he just might be the greatest cartoon character of all time. Seriously. This character should actually have his own spin-off series.

I ate about 327729792 red grapes today. I've got the farts.
Piss.
