airplanes

So in another fucked up twist of fate another plane has crashed - this time in venezuela. The first time was kind of a random coincidence, but now it is becoming increasingly creepy that flights that i was especially nervous on have begun crashing. albiet a year later.... its still weird though. The one in brazil crashed a week later. That was one of the worst flights for me as far as being scared. The merida connection from caracas i was also pretty scared because it was descending into a valley from the andes. Turns out those mountains are what got the plane. crashed right into the mountain side. (what is that mountain goat doing way up here in the clouds?) I remember specifically writing that line during our descent. The other flight that has been particularily awfull for me was cuzco to colombia. So we'll see when that flight crashes. planes suck ass. and pretty soon my luck is going to run out and one that i predict is going to kill me actually will.

Just coming from the gym i realized i misplaced my sports bra with a pair of underwear. Well, that ain't gonna work, so i stumbled home now dreading to go back. It is the 'hook up hours' at the moment and i feel a little unsure whether i should be scoring a date or lifting Gym update: i am stronger on almost every machine now which is quite exciting. AND.. i can almost go from a bridge into a backflip. they almost caught me practicing which was kind of an awkward moment. i was crumpled up on the floor after not making it all the way over and tried to pretend i was stretching my back.
Now to the gym. I wonder how all these white girls get so tan? I find myself contemplating whether its spray on, or from a booth. Or maybe my albino little self is just jealous.

I had my first night of 'boxing club' at the university. It was pretty cool, and exactly what i was looking for - its free! I probably won't stick to boxing as my 'sport of passion' but its cool to have something to improve and, and a situation where i get my ass handed to me from lack of skill and being in shape. Another happy note, i started a critical thinking group with one of my friends and we had the first meeting last night. I'm really excited about it. It introduces me to good people, and gives me time to discuss real issues with people. Next week I am giving a presentation on Colombia.
