I'm in a funk.
Man, I don't have culture shock; I really
don't. I'm just retarded right now and it wont end.
Dunno...I just can't get my shit together these
days.Yesterday I went for coffee with
two of my friends who went to India, and it turned into 3 hours of "talking
about it." That was pretty much the only time I felt normal and like I had
something to say in the last week. Afterwards, I realized that I had left my
laptop unattended and out in the open in my office the whole time.
On Wednesdays I have my small group
from my church, and last night we did a special crossover with another group,
because that group has like 3 members who are still in India, and we have like 3
people who are away for the summer, and so it made sense to join forces for the
week. That other group is way into eating when they get together, and last
night the couple that hosted grilled burgers, and they were made with BEEF,
which I haven't eaten in 2 freaking months, and there were side dishes and wine,
and none of it was hazard to eat, and it was amazing. Praise the Lord. I
mean...y'all don't even
know.
But my contributions to the discussion made no sense and my mind wandered the
whole time.I'm low on cash. I thought
I found the elusive parametric resonance I was looking for, and then I didn't.
I'm constantly sleepy and I have a big blister on my foot. I ...kinda just want
to go back to bed.Here is a picture of
me and my friend Teresa, who is a patient at the place where I did most of my
volunteer work. She taught me some Bengali and how to wear charcoal eyeliner
like an Indian woman. I taught her how to sing "What's Up" by the 4 Non
Blondes.
