UPDATE

Still alive, haven't had time to blog,I don't even get to the news anymore so as far as I know America has evaporated in a nuclear holocaust. Perhaps thats why the Europeans seem so happy lately.

Anyway once I get set up in my flat (thats what they call apartments here) I will blog a bit and perhaps post some interesting pictures. But not just yet.

Cheers.

BUDAPEST

So I am in Budapest. Its an interesting city, its ugly, its smelly, its dirty and yet at times can be very nice, very clean and very beautiful. So far things are going well, as well as they can Í guess. My luggage was missing for awhile but now is back, and I have been mugged and/or beaten yet.

It still might be the worst idea ever, but so far so good.

EXPAT-ING

I leave for Hungary tommorrow, I will be on a plane for 13 and 1/2 hours with a stopover in Copenhagen, Denmark. I have never been to Denmark.

This is Spartacus, he will not be traveling to Europe and will have a new home where he will be very happy.

I also have a myspace now, good for me.

Goodbye all, I will miss you

SO...

I am going to Budapest, Hungary for a year. They are famous for goulash, being the lesser part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and being under Communism until 1989.

So why am I going you may ask...well thats a very good question; as soon as I have an answer, I will let you know.

I will try to continue to use this medium to keep all of you enthralled readers abreast of my various adventures and goings on.

Maybe this is a bad idea, but thats what they said about old whats her face and the whole beard thing.

And they were right.

GEORGE AND ME

Recently it was revealed that a few years ago on his summer vacation at the ranch President Bush read Albert Camus' The Stranger. This book happens to be one of my favorite books and coincidentally provides the name I use on this blog. This work deals with themes common throughout existentialist literature; the alienation of man, the absurdity and incoherence of life, and man's role in creating his destiny.

Now this leads to many questions like why did President Bush choose to read this book and what did he get out of it? Did Bush see in Meursault a reflection of himself, a loner rejecting convention and popular sentiment and taking actions he himself even knew to be wrong? Perhaps he identifed with the namelass Arab that Meursault murders and is ultimately punished for. Bush has certainly killed a few nameless Arabs, at least indirectly.

I have always seen the president as an idiot, and I still do. But I would like to see what George got out of this book, if anything. Perhaps Bush is a deeper thinker than most suspect, or perhaps he just thought the book was short and did not have too many big words. I would love to sit down with the president and have a talk sometime, we totally have a lot to talk about. We could talk about literature, history, politics, and baseball obviously. I could tell him how he is the worst president in modern history and he can tell me how much hell is going to suck for me when the rapture comes.

What is George reading this vacation?

THAT DOG LOOKS FAKE

In some regions of China some people have died of rabies and the response by the Chinese government has been to kill every fucking dog they can find. Over 50,000 dogs have been killed so far, shits crazy over there. People will be out walking their dogs and either government dog killers or (I shit you not) vigilante dog murderers will simply club the dog in the head and continue on their way. Thus leaving the poor owner with a dead dog on a leash.

Now I do not post this out of some sick enjoyment at this dog cull. I have a dog, I love my dog and would willingly sacrifice most people to save it. There is an article here that gives a little more information. Save the dogs for fucks sake!

POOP, STEAK AND CHEESE

AOL recently got into a little trouble when they released the search history of some of their members (link). I would agree that most people do not want all their internet searches released to the public but one of these is incredible. The users are anonymous and only identified by numbers but whoever this person is is simply amazing.


Take this search history, for "user 17556639":

My favorite searches are 'poop' and 'steak and cheese', the others all follow a recurring theme but these two really stand out. We all know what poop is but ehat exactly is meant by steak and cheese? And why did it fall right between all the stuff about death and dead people, did that make him hungry? Hungry for steak and cheese? Anywho I believe that AOL should do the public a favor and release the name of this user, before he kills his wife or poops on your steak and cheese.
