Update?

Spent some January and February in Thailand. Pleasant. Cousin Steve helped. Randy too. Sorry 'bout the fish man. Came back with no money. Yeah, I gave Chicken some. No, I didn't see her.

So apparently the collections agencies are after me. I cannot begin to tell you how funny that is. I do hope they don't harass the folks too much. But if I haven't made this clear, I wanna go home; I have no home. Until the Merkin government stops murdering the citizens of other countries I can't live there. And what little of history I know indicates that's probably going to take longer than my lifespan. So I'll meet you in Mexico. And my dear repo men, there's nothing left for you to take. I barely ate this month. Among the works is a piece currently titled 'Down and Out in Chiang Mai and TianJin'. Not that I starved, no, just that I was very careful. And culinarily bored. And noodly. So before you tell me you'll destroy my credit rating feast your eyes on my foreclosure. And before you criticize my honor bear in mind that an awful lot of money is owed me. But I'm not a corporation, I understand the priorities.

What else have I been doing in this 'time off'? Yes, I finished the first class. Of course work started before that so it was only relatively a vacation. And that's over day after tomorrow. So I give you this update. I might suggest you not give me a donation, if you were thinking of it, until I discern a way to disconnect paypal from my Merkin banks and hook it to my Asian. If. How slimy can a country be? How corrupt can capitalism get? How destructive is the cognitive dissonance caused by the tri-partite crock of Abrahamic bullshit to critical thought? I'm still working on that book, yes. But a simpler, perhaps kinder thesis is percolating as well. Why can't we base our self-worth on how we benefit others rather than how much we take for ourselves?

Human nature? What is that? If we can't even agree on what cognition is I don't accept.

Well, I do have some references. But my UofL portfolio's another book, so waaaaaaaait for it... meantime here's Thomas Keating proving judeo-chrislam doesn't have to make you a dangerously hypocritical psychopath. Admittedly his lip-smacking is slightly irritating but you'll get used to it. I did anyway.

So unkind I am. O but what I've seen. No hope, may I reiterate, no hope. So here's some cruelty from the magical red notebook. Which was not lost, miraculously, in Suvarnabhumi. Did I write that up?

How did this happen? 643 comes right to the BMT. I have now ridden the TJ double decker. This train will not acheive its rated speed methinks. I wonder if I will find my way back as easily. Why was TP so hard and TJ so easy? Is this ChiPhone better than that? Crazy ass resolution but battery not so good. Girl sitting next to me has quite a deep voice. Not exactly demure either. Things happen, that is all. Well ya missed 2 on the way back.

Here I sit. Gilded cage is it? Not terribly well gilded. But eminently escapable, I s'pose. What is my problem? Nothing, really. I'd like to go out and explore the neighborhood but I have been told to 'rest'. Nice digs, sawrat. And I s'pose I've smoked enough this morning. Pre-scient? Time protects us from everything happening at once. This is a boarding school evidently. I was impressed by the class size and texts @ the K school but the behavior was pretty bad. Drove me out, in fact. My own as well but I probably can teach. Some students can not study. I'm working on not taking it personally. I see the double standard, it gives me an anger response to examine. People, by and large, just do not know any better. Lord knows I don't. But I don't spit @ the sight of any1 either. The dormitories are very neat here. The kids r not well trained racists yet. Give them time, give them time. America is beautiful for one reason. It may be related to intellectual barrenness, the prizing of 'stupid', but I think not. Chomsky manages rigour and openness. To my mind they are not exclusive, r in fact complementary? So how do Asians manage science, inquiry, discovery? Perhaps I've fallen in with the wrong crowd.

Tianjin Zhan redux. Here we are again, thanks for the practice Yusef, hope you're doing well. Never really know why contact stops, know I may be a little offensive, certainly radical but mai kwan shi, what's the diff? Wish I hadn't forgotten the battery, the hat's $1 to replace but that hi-tech fossil? No idea. Any resemblance to GSS is purely coincidental. All of the urbanity none of the cosmopolitanism. Beijing may mix it up a little, but I'm the lone round eye ATM. I came for the beauty, I do so hope I entertain. No saying, not much understanding tho did hear the lad exclaim -O my god! Before he launched a stream of Mandarin. Polyglotism is not linguistics. But I do have Wikipedia on my phone. It's replaced the XO, that's what it's done. But it doesn't have quite the battery life. And I do believe I've forgotten the spare. Alas, a lack. And I can be nervous about the class, can't turn in the assignment until the deadline and I really don't know where I'll be tomorrow. CM or SK I hope. LoS anyway. And then what? The trip continues, long and strange.

So there's three pages for you of long-winded longhand. Working on the books, evolving my lessons into slides, reading a hundred stolen textbooks. Which do not, unfortunately, include the one I need for class.
