mexico, and why i love it
hi suzy: so this is why i love mexico, and many other not-the-us’s… in mexico you wouldn’t see a commercial like this, one that i just saw:
a woman announces, smiling at the camera, that she, like all of us would soon be receiving the governments “stimulus package checks” in the mail shortly. she then said this check will be a wonderful thing for me and my family, especially if i cash it at wal-mart, where it will be cashed for free and can be applied towards a wal-mart visa.
SIGH. really? this whole stimulus package came from wal-mart?! really, people?
i loved the mexico had no rules. no waivers to snorkel fairly off shore. instructions from the “guide”… nah! just park the boat and we jump out. lines and millions of unsightly, distracting yellow and other roadsings? NAH, why bother? just drive on the road and avoid smashing into other cars. thanks.
smoke cigarettes? SURE! just smoke kindly not sitting next to children or non smokers. take your everything off and spend the day nude on the beach, exposed to all other folks, also exposed. suddenly, we are all the same really, aren’t wee. penis’s, vaginas. ta tas. oh mexico!
suzy:
jilly and i meant in cancun, i also had with me wonderful friends from where else but echo park, la.
hours in a van down to the cabanas, drivers listening to milli vinilli. yes! we find our own cabana just before the night sky. before needed flashlights to live by night. mostly, though, the mood and candles did the trick.
skin to the sun in the sand by day. with iced beers and refreshing kayaking rides. by night, games of scrabble and tequila over fine foods, some i’ve never seen. MEXICO!
cabanas copal, near tulum. old mayan territory. spiritual and mystifying lands. yoga every morning and then the sun…
this was the kind of trip to be repeated over and over, second by second, like a bad film remake. but good.
ugh. oh, U.S.
U.S. food waste could feed millions
The U.S. throws out the equivalent of one pound of food per person a day even as millions of families around the world are unable to put any food on their tables. U.S. authorities believe recovering even just a small fraction of the waste could feed millions of people every day. The New York Times (5/18)
hi suzy, i have neglected this for so many months now..
what things can i tell you about? yes, good bye to myspace, i feel so very free. can’t explain what made me so angry. but fuck fox as well.
i’m leaving for mexico tomorrow. i’m packed and set and restless in a cool house. yesterday i turned 26, i think you left me a nice voicemail. lots of nice people left nice voicemails and thats great.
over that 25 hump. you know me and time, i like aging. sorta. but my body is showing weird little signs. i think we are at a pretty high point physically and this might be the time that changes. little bones and joints hurt and ache in new ways, in ways that used to last only a second, but now linger on just a wee bit longer. ouch. ow.
jill is meeting me and 2 friends in cancun tomorrow evening, we’re renting a car and driving south to tulum where i have a cabana on the beach all set up. what is this life i lead? so crazy?
i still can’t believe we cross paths in philly…
come in july.
alex, you cancelled your myspace account at a good time
