Notes from the Underground

It's 8pm on 8/8/08, and I ate a date that tasted great, but that shouldn't affect my weight of 88 kilos, or the fact that I hate hate (but I guess that means that I do hate, then, right?). But wait, do two wrongs make a right, or shall I state: do two hates make a great? My pate now grates from this constant state of contemplate. Hey mate, at least it's still 8/8/08.

"The gull sees farthest who flies highest." -- from Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.

"Apuntale a la luna, aun si fallas alcanzaras las estrellas." -- from a Johnny Walker billboard along the road from San Jose to Limon, in Costa Rica, 2002

That last quote gives me occasion to remind you, kind reader, to click the link on the blog archive to your izquierda for 2002 entries. I've been adding them steadily, transcribing them from the journal that I kept during that time.

The Opening Ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics will be televised shortly, after which I'll be going out with some friends later tonight. I'll let you know how that goes.
