Move Your Body!

I read a couple short stories by Jorge Luis Borges for my Argentinean Literature class (translated in English). Borges is probably Argentina's most renowned writer and poet. His works are so beautifully written and carefully edited, overflowing with meaning in such a small space. I love Borges because he bends genres (ie: the detective becomes the hunted) and his themes speak directly to me (such as): Reality is our personal perception, seeing the world, and expressing emotion through words as defective - thought becomes language - language distorts feeling. Life is a labaryth, a game, with one center, one ending that will lift us out of the labaryth. If this sounds at all interesting to you, you should read "Death and the Compass" and "The South". I was by far the most talkative person in class yesterday. Leaving class, one friend whispers to me "Dave, you get so deep." I can't help it!

What else? I'm doing well. I went to The Alamo last night and watched the Lakers win in the final second, got way too drunk, but had the most epic siesta in my life today. I had a series of lucid dreams within dreams. I would awake and find myself in another dream, thinking it was my conscious state, but frightened as I found myself stepping on squishy dogs. One time, my friend Kyle went behind me, looked through my eyes and I was overcome with euphoria like I had been Neo sucked into The Matrix. I tolda girl in one dream about my previous dream and she hugged me and vanished. I then found myself awake again wearing a patient bracelet on the front steps of a Jewish hospital and thought I had previously been in a coma, found an Israeli soldier's passport and looked through his life. The siesta carried a mystical dust and I feel like it carried over into my room when I finally settled in "this level". Failing to explain these dreams to my host mom, I let it go and enjoyed some amazing tacos.

More cafe con leche... This new cafe (Muki is packed) is blasting Eiffel 65 - remember "I'm Blue-da-ba-de-da-ba-dai"? Yeah that group. I remember worshipping this album when I was about 10 years old. Looking back at those years is straight bizarre.
