ahhhh the weekend.
i still managed to eek some life out of today, thanks to fp for keeping me awake last night long enough to sober up. thanks fp!

today i didn't wake up until after noon.
world cup final at 2.
disappointing loss (goddammit zizou) so i left to burn off the nervous energy and play tennis with the shet.

dehydration from last night's shenanigans did not bode well.
but all was good.
we got a fan club of a half dozen little boys that sat behind each of us cheering. so i had to step it up and laugh dehydration in the face. i even threw in a grunt here and there for some killer histrionics. yessssssssssss.

we laughed at the pictures from last night.
as per usual, i manage to attract the greasiest foreigner in spice. my friends just laugh now. okem or something. a turk. he spoke to me. i said where are you from. he said turkey. i said why are you here? he seemed insulted so offered that i sometimes didn't know why I was even in this city and i couldn't understand moving from bodrum to this armpit of the world.
we took this picture, shortly before saying goodbye to our turkish pals. and for the record, telling someone they look JUST like your ex-girlfriend, does not a quality pickup line make..


and still more attractive (and sober):
check the eyes actually rolling into the back of my head.
my god.

what do you think of this very ugly side of me? still like me? still want to be my friend?

****
LOVE is the essence of life. at least for me and in my mind's eye.
it seems so simple.
why do so many complications occur? where does it happen?
when you have to make choices??
pfffffffffffff i don't know. it is mentally taxing just to think about.

do you think technology and the internet are facilitators of good or evil?
