Fake Plastic Trees

I've been listening to a lot of Radiohead lately. I have a lot of their music, but have only delved into a little bit of it, but that is changing. One thing I'm not delving more into these days is Facebook. Not at all, in fact. I should have quit it a long time ago, and in fact almost did once, but couldn't quite pull the trigger at the time. When you do finally make the move, they pull out all the cheesy stops and show you pictures of your Facebook "friends" with the message "So-and-so is going to miss you!" Oh really? Well, maybe we can communicate in another way, like e-mail, phone, or - imagine! - in person. And if we can't, honestly, are we really even friends? I'm sorry, but I don't have over 200 friends, even though my Facebook page says I do. Before I logged off I made sure I had the contact info of the people I really wanted to stay in touch with. A lot of them were people I met on my travels. Why? Because it's that whole kindred spirit thing, people who, like me, have wanderlust in their DNA.

So what to do now that I don't have Facebook to waste my time on? Well, two things: play more guitar and work on my Hindi. I really don't know if or when I will get back to India, but I think the language is really cool. And if I do make it back, it would probably help out a lot. I kind of feel like India defeated me the first time. The tough parts overwhelmed the beauty. But there's still so much to see and learn.
