Update

Things you realize after being in a third world country for a year:

Old friends are truly amazing.

Sometimes your lame brothers will surprise you.

Your hopeful belief that gaming is part of your past is laughable.

Living in a rural place does wonders for keeping healthy.

Living at home makes you fatter.

The divine unrelenting deliciousness that is all Asian food.

Doing nothing with your clone brothers is epically hilarious and enjoyable.

You don't forget how to drive, or miss throwing toilet paper in the garbage.

You marvel at the quality of everything you own.

You dread leaving all the luxury to return to the campo.

Nothing says third world like a stolen lightbulb.

Light bulb missing...

Summary of my life:

Back in Paraguay and ready to work again. I was at home near SF for about 20 days and it was an awesome and recharging trip. Brought back lots of things mostly in the food category and mostly in the Asian category. My house didn't get robbed which is always good news. Except for 1 high powered fluorescent light bulb in my porch light... valued at about 5 dollars.... hilarious. My garden is still surviving in its dumpy state with my cucumber pretty dead-like.

dumpy garden

 I am trying to revive it but that effort may be futile. Couple broccoli plants and cilantro doing great.

Yay Broccoli

Yay Cilantro

Basil = failed (no picture bec no growth) and there is some plant that I think is spinach that I'm afraid to try partially because of the bug holes in it and partially because it looks like a weed.

Spinach?

 Seriously looking at the pron-ness of every other garden here and the seeming ease at which they grow is stupefying and makes me feel derpy.

Officially dating Christina long distance which is cool... though complicated and difficult. We had an amazing week when I was back and things seem great so we will see what happens. Don't know what I will tell the Paraguayan girl I was sorta seeing … hmmm. Hard to explain in English. Even harder in Spanish. I'll let you know how that goes.

On to more random things. Brothers tried Tererre, happiness was absent and my beloved drink was labeled “painfully strong toothpaste water that gives you a headache and leaves leaf bits in your mouth.” I believe the brand new Tererre equipo I brought back to the US will go completely unused until my return... sadness.

Had the chance to film a very poor production of a music video with my brothers and Solomon (awesome Korean popstar (not really but looks like it) friend). Ill be editing that and putting it together.

As for work in Paraguay, I've got lots of ideas and plans. Ill write a more structured boring entry on that later.

Hope this was kinda entertaining and thanks for reading.
