for nova who forgets to read the comments, A NEW POST!!!!


So anyway the moroccan hills are really beautiful ( like perfect for setting up a commune) and its real hot there, and cheap and such, but i had to leave sometime so i did. Then i spent a whole day trying to get from one tiny little city to one big city, but like i said the spanish train system is whack. So I hung out with this crazy dirty spaniard all day. He had some pretty interesting theories. He had spent a month in morocco and mauritania (sp?) and senagal and i dont think he showered that whole time, so he had an interesting look to him. Also somewhat crazy-mysterious even. He was on his way home to see him moms in barcelona. I wish i could quote but i cannot i can only half quote. "the work you do with the day, like work with your hands, that is for to eat, the work by night, that is for when like you be artist. In this way you keep work with hands, for food yes? but also with your mind for the other... you understand?" I never told him i was an artist, he just used that for his example and it worked out very well.

So then i went to sevilla. Sevilla is cool, u cant help but run into a monument, cuz they on every corner. In fact they even have a monument de flamenco which i think is swell. Also its a beautiful city, the people are a bit warmer, the climate a bit warmer, the smells in the air are real real nice (oh god im turning into a food person) anyway, they have a large sudent population, and a large homeless population (cuz its not illegal to be a vagabond in spain) and i dont know but i enjoyed it. Now im in lisbon, chillin with a brazillian. he speaks portugese it saves me from a lot of trouble. I dont know what else to say.

Oh last night as i waited for my bus to lisbon, I sat and listened to this like marching band thing play this song over and over by the river side. I think they were preparing for some big spanish festival, but they played for like 3 hours the same song. And it was an incredible song sort of like the kind of anthem u would hear and the heroid death of the star in some movie. Llike mel gibson being put to death in braveheart. like 8 parts, and like hispanic festival style, like parades and shit. When i was thinking about this last night it cam out much more stylish and poetic now its just jumbles.

So i should be e mailing a number of u to tell i got your e mails like a week or 2 ago but i dont know if i will do them all. I think maybe u will have to either write me again and say whats up or just wait 3 weeks till im home. yes thats right only three weeks left.

hmm in other news we have a loco president who no one in the world likes. its a fact yo


Also i got a letter from my lil brother and he sounds all grown up and zach i think he really looks up to you so dont do anything foolish. Also though he may be becoming a movie nerd, something i was once, i have seen like 1 movie in 4 months now i cant wait to get back and chill for a night watching 6 movies or something, and pigging out on food. (its gotta be that pyramid or triangle of needs thing)

catch ya later obrigado por las cartas thats spanugese or somethingpeace and love Taff
