Speakeasy

I always wanted to make my living with my words. I gave up on that happening a long time ago, but coming off my recent obsession with things that I have done I would like to take a moment to reflect on a few of the things I have said.

The Three Gayest Things I Have Ever Said:
3. I'll watch anything with hot chicks in it...aw, who the hell am I kidding?
2. Cut it out you two before I come in there and fuck both of you. And remember I don't know the god damn difference.
1. I don't care. First I'll beat you, then I'll fuck you. Just to make a point.

The Three Straightest Things I Have Ever Said:
3. Wait, she's how old? Oh fuck, now I have to cut my dick off just for thinking that.
2. Hell yes I'd buy insurance off of her.
1. That's the kind of girl who makes you forget you have morals.

So...I'm thinking of learning Spanish again. I knew bits and pieces in high school, but never really cared enough to pick it up. Now I could use it for work, so I'm going to start slowly and work my way up.

I'm not sure where this came from. Part of it is not being able to talk to certain people, and really wanting to. Part of it comes from a conversation about German (ok, a German teacher...ok, a German teacher's daughter) that I had over the weekend that made me realize I never learned to speak another language even when the opportunity was readily available. Part of it comes from reading Albert Camus's The Stranger and thinking it was an amazingly beautiful book, a book that I wish I could have read in its original language: French.

There's not much practicality to me learning French or German (I could enjoy my favorite movies more I suppose) but Spanish might actually have a use. So I figure why not give it a crack.

In other Palomba news:

• I'm currently working on a real estate deal that runs into the several million dollar realm and is now little more than an idea. It's going to take a lot of thinking before I know whether or not this is a good idea. I know I can get the money, but do I really want to spend the next ten years paying it off?
• I've recently heard about (note: not from) some people I've lost touch with. Thankfully it's all good news, and I can't wait to hear more about (note: or from) them.
• Few new things coming out of this years Antioch. All good things. All good things.
• I've decided to write something new, not sure what.
• Just updated my Ipod with The Clash's London Calling, The Anti-Nowhere League's We are...the League, Operation Ivy, and The Best of Manfred Mann's Earth Band
• Made myself breakfast for dinner. Eggs, bagel, and Apricot Marmalade on toast.

That's not much. But it's quite a bit in my book. I think I'll kick back, have a Glenlivet & Ginger Ale, and get some sleep.

'Night All.
