Back on Track...
We started classes last Thursday, and I am slowly gettting myself back on track. My internet will be connected in a couple of days. This blog will be getting a face-lift in effort to radiate a more southwest flair.
I spent the weekend wandering around the Plaza(downtown area). If anyone is looking for some crazy art, come on over and visit. I was unaware that Santa Fe is one of the largest art markets in the country. The city also boasts over 400 restaraunts. I have started to acquire quite the taste for chile. For those of you that plan on venturing back to the magic city for the holidays - heed my warning. I am going to buy a bushel of green chiles for the freezer.
Kerry mania has taken over this town. Yesterday there were some large protests. I was not aware that the Demos were going to demonstrate all over the country. It is nice, however, for those folks that hate all that is moral and good to have a platform to demonstrate without the expensive travel costs and charges for extended cell phone coverage. I have come to one conclusion: the Democrats possess much more wit when comes to bashing Bush.
Seriously, I know that many of you are concerned about this election, please don't think that i am a Kerry hater. I will vote for the candidate who steps into this NHL lockout. My first few days at this college have tempted me again to move to the Great White North. My desire is not based on political ideals as much as having access to SCTV reruns and pies made of meat. Sometimes we get so hung up in the issues that we forget little pleasures like meat pies and Gene Leavy.
One more thing interesting about New Mexico. Many of the casinos and ALL of the strip joints are dry. A strip joint without alcohol is like...a strip joint without alcohol. Just another reason to move north.

Lo Siento
The Muse is back and in full force. A summer of gopher shooting, binge drinking, and working is all wrapped up. The high country is behind me, and I am looking forward to a new life in the land of turqoiuse, aleins, and green chile. That's right, the muse has relocated to sunny Santa Fe, New Mexico to pursue a masters at St. John's College.
I am currently relaxing in the Magic City. Ross has suddenly resurfaced after a couple of years in Hawaii and a brief stint in Asia. He will be roaming the Northern Plains for around six months. Wolsky was also back on the scene from S. Carolina. We managed to slide down some fish bowls at the world famous Dakota Lounge. Greg and Lula were there to witness the display. I will post some photos when I return to Santa Fe.
Brief Rundown of the summer:
June - July:
Worked most of the month. Headed to Detroit to participate in Lars' wedding. Made the realization that Detroit is the shittiest place in the world. I would rather spend the next ten years eating my own shit than live in Detroit. Pictures can do no justice as to just how shitty that place really is. I went to Des Moines for a little while as well. La Familia spend a lovely Independence Day together. We also discussed the importance of hand guns.
Spent the rest of July working. I also turned 27 - only 13 more years and I will have an excuse to be overweight.
August:
Worked until the 14th, moved to Santa Fe, and then on to ND for some r and r.
We are going out to eat tonight, and I hope to meet up with Baehm later on. I have many more stories to tell.
Santa Fe in a nut shell: I have a place in a hippy's melrose place. My neighbors are some of the most interesting people I have met in my life.
