new year, new quicky read posts.

i have been labeling book writing as hard.  and tv watching as easy.  i probably will continue to do so, especially if i continue to have an abode in a lil 2nd floor hostel room equipped with hbo that's broadcast in english with subtitles, so i can learn a thing or two about this countries language.

i had ignored the tv my 1st 3 weeks or so to the point i barely recognized it was there.  now it may as well be the centerpiece.

there's enough trash in my book that i have entertained the idea of trashing it a couple times.  there's enough gems either in it or in its purpose, that i continue to plug away, crossing out line after line and looking skyward for a better word or phrase or sound or decision to scrap or not.

it's nice to know, as i watch one person sell bananas and another getting drunk and another just hanging out, that i can be hanging out, getting drunk, and eating bananas, all while continuing the process of writing this book, wherever i am.

sure, it goes slow.  occasionally i stress about how slow it goes.  and occasionally i get myself to chill out.  now, thanks to guidance of the people i've been working with, i can get myself to chill out in spanish.  how¿

tengo paz.  it literally translates into - i've got peace.  in usage, what it's saying is - slow the fuck down man, it's all good, shit's covered, and there's no need to rush.

so, back to bullshitting on the internet before i tackle some more book time.  or, in other words, tengo paz, fuckers.
