It is my birthday (22), but this event is shadowed by the events of Iraq and Madeoff- Shelby read me the Turkish news and American forces have left the urban cities of Iraq, one more step forward to getting our combat boots unstuck out of the bog of cyclical violence, then Bernnie Madeoff was sentenced to 150 years in a maximum security prison and both his and his wife's money and assets (preliminary confiscation) were taken totaling 250 million dollars.
it is absolutley beautiful here and it has been great to make some friends, about 4 days in i had to release the idea of making turkish friends because it was just not happening, but as of today we have made several turkish friends, met an iranian family and made a friend that is iranian-american that lives in san francisco- releasing expectations of the future brings more than your original expectations could imagine. Release, release, release is so hard with a human brain, but the rewards are so reinforcing it is a path i will continue to follow.
time to start the day, with a cold shower, and then out to the sun.
