Russia II

this place is a magical city of irony for me...

my favorite things that happened today:

  • Tchaikovsky just started randomly playing from somewhere (very v for vendetta like) while i was admiring pushkin's statue/monument... it really just happened like that
  • kate and i walked about an hour in the snow to go eat gelati. ironic misunderstanding if i've ever heard one
  • kate literally turned to me and said "the man on my left. the light has taken so long already that he's finishing his potato."
  • upon completion of telling kate that i forgot my toothbrush in germany or somewhere along the way and used my finger on monday morning to brush my teeth... as i passed a pole i noticed... there was a toothbrush stuck to the rim of it. a random vision has never gone better for one of my stories

Russia I

i've never traveled during christmas time before... its so lit up and pretty... i'm thinking i definitely want to move to Europe when or before america's economy fall completely. but it probably wont be Russia--it'll probably be Geneva but that is because of the World Health Organization and nothing against Russia. although i have only been here a few hours, I can tell you from now this will not be my last trip here... its really a beautiful city.

the airport in STPb reminded me of ben gurion a bit--before they made ben gurion all fancy anyways. I don't mind the cold at all--somehow i apparently brought it with me as today is apparently the first day its been very cold.

I guess i don't have too much to say considering its only been about 5 hours, but i will say this... there was a person dressed in a bear suit on the street and its the first time i could ever say... that person is lucky to be dressed as a bear... he's probably the only person that is just the right temperature... i'm surprised you don't see many more people just walking around in animal costumes.

grrr...tiger

you know what... tiger woods has been in the spotlight since before he was 20... in 1995. thats 14 years ago. even from that early age, we didn't see him out partying and getting crazy with britney... He's been Mr. Perfect: perfect ex-model wife, perfect kids, perfect swing, perfect smile and perfect reputation. We've all been sitting and waiting for him to slip...and he does and the world goes CRAZY. I'm not condoning cheating in any way, shape, or form... all i'm saying is you don't know what he has and hasn't done and you really don't have anything to do with his business. Would you want a major mistake of yours all over the newspapers and every computer across america with people not just knowing but EATING IT UP?? its just not right. let the guy deal with his business on his own. he was bound to make mistakes--don't eat it up. its mean. just leave the guy to deal with his own business and if you're interested in what he's up to--focus on his golf score.
