LebowskiFest: Think Nerdy Star Trek Convention except these people enjoy White Russians instead of Spaak. What a weekend, and what an Easter..spent it in beautiful Newport Beach at a bar, cheerin on, Sparty! _Sparty On, Final Four!
Picked up a little gift from Turkey while I was in Miami. It had been waiting for me for over a year. Thanks, Tugba! I won't give this one away, promise (Asha has the other one!!)! In honor of you and the nargile you gave me, I reverted back to my past "Kiro" ways..with the gotee:) You'd think at 25 it would be better after 6 days! Allah Hallah!
Just wanted to tell everyone "thanks" for all the calls, cards, emails, messages, and death threats last Saturday (Digs even went so far as to buzz my office phone as well..what a great voicemail to receive Monday morning..hearing a scraggily little rat!). I really can't tell you how much it means to see people around the world dropping me lines!! You guys/gals are great (more so gals)! I'm blessed. It's truly a testament of AIESEC and nomadlife.org..how it has really helped us stay in contact. The birthday was great! It was funny, I actually spent the whole doing something I really love: hosting. It's fantastic to finally live in a place that I can host people! I find that it's one of the few things I really feel satisfied doing! It's like traveling in reverse. Giving back (indirectly) to so many people that have given to me over the years. So, what are you waiting for? COME VISIT!! I try and have the hospitality of a Turk, the drinking of a Irishman, the cooking/eating of an Indian, the self deprecaiting humor of a Pole, the partying of a Latin, the humbleness of an Arab, the chillness of SoCal, the ridiculousness of a Townie...
BBQ Wings, Veggies, and a White Russian to boot...and, eat your heart out Europe, unlimited glasses of free, cold, cold, agua! WITH ICE!
be with the changes...and at the same moment cultivate equanimity, spaciousness, emptiness, awareness, clarity..may it be so!
Cheers!
