Yay! I'm full of useless knowledge.

I realize that anyone with a little bit of html knowledge can fake this but I did actually take the quiz.

Greece Day 1
Yay, we've arrived in Athens. It's so nice to finally be here. Seems like we've been talking about this trip forever and it seemed so far away and now we're here. We had a much easier time with the train than we did in Barcelona.
We checked out the ruins. It's pretty cool when you standing next to the oldest man-made structure you've ever stood next to. Good thing Archimedes invented the pulley.
Our hotel has the smallest beds I've slept in since I was a baby. But I don't need much, just a pillow and running water. At least for tonight.

Lessons Learned In Greece
- You can exit at the back of the plane. Sweet!
- Mind The Gap
- There's no need to say "excuse me"
- If you go to the Acropolis in Athens, save that ticket. It might come in handy later.
- The water's not that cold once you're in it for a while
- Bread ain't free
- Learning the terms please (parakalo) and thank you (efharisto) and a smile go a long way. And if that fails a pocket full of euros doesn't hurt.
- No amount of sunscreen will prevent Jason from turning into Trock Lobster
- Queue Up
- Just because someone has red eyes and white cracked lips doesn't necessarily mean he/she is a crack addict
- Don't rent a car unless you have a death wish
- Lean forward!!

Back To Literacy
| A few months back I noticed I seemed to be having trouble articulating my thoughts, which is important because no matter what people say about, at least they have to admit that "I speak so well." One of my friends, who is always flaunting her literacy in my face told me I need to read more. So I decided to pick up a book that wasn't written by Wrox. And the latest Takeshi Kovacs book, Woken Furies, had recently come out on paperback. Good timing.
I don't know why it took me so long to read this book but I'm happy to say that I actually finished it yesterday. I really like the future world that Richard K. Morgan has created and I flew through the first two in the series but for some reason this one took me months to get through. Maybe it's because of this project at work. Luckily, the trip to Greece got me back on track. If you like sci-fi, I would definitely recommend the series so far. It's set a few hundred years in the future and there is technology that allows people to transfer their consciousness to a piece of hardware called a cortical stack. It's like a backup of your brain. So if anything happens to your body, you can just transfer to another body. It really makes you think about what defines you as a person and if that can be separated from your body. And even if you save your consciousness, can you save your soul? The main character is a smart-ass mercenary who gets into various adventures and as the story continues we learn more about the alien race that left technology behind that man encounters as we move further out into the galaxy. Now that I'm back on the path to literacy, maybe I can get through my next book - The Tender Bar: A Memoir by J.R. Moehringer - in less than 5 months. |    |

random lyrics 043
Thrillseeker, heartbreaker
Shapeshifter, secret keeper
You know I love to see ya
All the time shakin' down
Movin' with the sound
You know we like to turn it up loud
Price is right
Rhyme, we steppin' up and dance oh
Move on up and get yours
You know, right on up and they go
We say, "Go move your body baby"
All right, we're movin' up and inside
And get to ride, move your body baby
This place is live movin' with the ride
Thrillseeker, heartbreaker
Shapeshifter, secret keeper
I love to see ya
Movin' it on
shake your body down yeah
I'm moving with the sound
With the ride we're moving up and inside
I'm feeling high upon life
I'm feeling good tonight
And there's strange vibe
Don't know what it is
Let's check inside
Open it, space is too tight
Hey you know, somebody say hello
You know it's time to go say flow so
A different kind of style you never know
Never right, we're so slick we slip and slide
We say, "Go move your body baby"
All right, we're movin' up and inside
And get to ride, move your body baby
This place is live movin' with the ride
