Random thoughts in no particular order.

Getting to know the city a little bit..taking random busses to random places...the great thing about living on an island thats 37 miles around, is that getting "lost" is never a BIG problem. There have been times where Ive gotten off of a bus or taxi and said "Where in the world am I?"..then I remember...37 miles is the furthest I could be from my home...I'll be fine, wherever I am. Thats a good rule to remember in life in general..."I'll be fine wherever I am."

It's very interesting the solutions to problems one can come u with when the circumstances and situation arises. I've never seen myself as a problem solver, but then again, I've always been surrounded with able persons in a comfortable environment, so I never needed to solve any problems using my own imagination and creativity....until now...and I must say...not bad.

My friend sent me a quote via email yesterday:

"My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a 'lone traveler' and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude..."
-Albert Einstein (I freggin love this guy)

I feel this way about myself quite often...but I would be lying to myself if I did not admit that I had friends and acquaintances for whom I cared and who cared about me...but in the larger scale of human social interaction..I feel no pull...no necessary attachment..no need to "be a part of"...I believe that in solitude, a man discovers who he is and in public, he discovers who he is Not...both are necessary in answering the question of Who Am I in this world...a question I have as of yet devised a plan for answering...


I went to this bar by the airport. The bar is cool...live band...gorgeous around sunset. Not coincidentally the name of the bar is Sunset Bar. This bar is located right by the shore (but to be fair...almost everything is right by the shore..I call it the island effect lol) I'm sitting there drinking a beer, and I see these two children about the ages of 6 or 7 playing a hand game , for a lack of a better word...like "patty cake". The sun is setting..and the live band is playing Bob Marley music. I'm sitting there in wonderment, thinking to myself this is a good day....everybody is out having some drinks with friends and what not...very good day. Granted I didn't quite know how I was going to get back home at the time (still getting to know the island)..but it was a very pleasant experience....everyone seemed chill..I had a good time..but there was only ONE thing missing.....
