I'm back in the grind. I'll write a comprehensive entry tomorrow touching on a variety of subjects including my trip, time, trivia, Bob Saget.

I'm ready to get my serve on. I was so disillusioned today I broke a bottle of rum and had a few run ins with death.

2:34 is the time mark. I've been saying "hell yeah" all day Dr. Dre style.

I ain't countin my dough I came to blow it all

I´m waiting for my shuttle to the aeropuerto. I picked up my Blackberry for the first time in a month and I think I forgot how to operate it. Its a symbol for the madness that is about to ensue.

I need to put this song on my ipod ASAP... its just way toooo entertaining

last days on earth

Let me be perfectly honest. I am looking forward to my return to the concrete jungle... I miss my comrades. However, I´m going to miss this lifestyle. I have a lot of stories, met some great people and have some sick tan lines. I don´t feel like trading this for a desk job and university work.

I´ll run down the experience when I take my mac out of storage... Its way to hard to type on one of these keyboards. I just got to San Juan Del Sur today and will be here for the next few days before I have to head back to San Jose to catch my flight.

I´m seeking refuge in this internet cafe because it is so hot, unbearable. hace calor!

Hope everything is well with the masses.

Surprise! Its the national dish of Nicaragua. I just arrived in Granada 3 hours ago. I love it here.

I would have to say its been about 8 years since I´ve been on a school bus... Until today. What a trip! It fit the Latin America stereotype to a t, colorful bus crammed with people. The ride had everything except chickens running down the aisle. By everything I mean, the ride from Rivas to Granada yielded a blown tire.

What more could I ask for?

US backed Contras really did a number on this place... Despair is in the air but so is hope and people are genuinely happy. Its a noticeable departure from the ¨¨luxourious¨ beach towns of Costa Rica. I have una semana here before I have to trek back to San Jose. My goal is to write fifty pages... Its taking awhile to adjust to the pen and paper. Tech spoils our generation.

I´m going to San Juan del Sur for my last day of surf...

Pura Vida is the anthem of Central America.

yeah... um... yeah

Apparently the gateway to US culture is MTV.

In other news, I just checked the news today... Russia bombing Georgia_?

The Olympics started_?

Isaac Hayes dead.

Bernie Mac dead.

Jesus H. Christ dead.

I{m in Liberia now... Its an okay town. I had the best banana con leche of my life here and tomorrow I move on to the country above where rum is 7$ for a bottle.

I sold my surf board and only lost 10$!!!!

Good times and good riddance.

I'm still here

Huqleberry — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 22:58:39 +0000

Yes... Its true... I'm still alive. Still in Costa Rica but I've moved up the coastline closer to Nicaragua, i'm headed there in a few days.

I checked my email today and there are just a few things taht are giving me a complete headache that I really don't want to have to worry about right now. Incompetence is a bitch to deal with and sometimes trust in people isn't enough... No worries, when I'm in the ocean I'm at peace.

In othernews today I caught my first wave! No whitewater bullshit for me anymore! I'm in, I really feel like typing in spanish, Playa Grande ahora. I'm going to be here for another 4 days then I'm headed north again... I bought a $50 board and I think its a bit short for me since i'm a begininer. HOWEVER, it is a blast to ride.

Its funny, I came to Costa Rica to experience the culture and people within there culture is surf culture... I've been hit by a one-two punch. I've been writing a lot and even have a title for this piece of work!!!! I also realized I like Celine's Journey to the End of the Night a lot but its way to depressing right now, I've decided to stow it away.

Daily Schedule:

Surf, eat, lounge, casados for lunch, surf, Imperial, sleep

Pura Vida, no?

Pictures when I return to the city.

Thanks to PRR for holding it down!

I'm in Costa Rica in Santa Teresa/Mal Pais. Amazing would be the best word to

describe it. When I saw the Pacific from my bus today I was filled with glee... I dropped my stuff off at my place and hit the beach where I just sort of floated in the ocean for awhile. The town is desolate, tourists are a rae breed and everyone is a local. I love it.

I ate some coconut from a coconut tree... I saw a giant lizard... A dog followed me for a couple km's on the beach. I bought a pack of cigarettes... I went through a chunk of my notes... Tomorrow I'm going to find a surfboard to rent and I'm off. It's Austin vs. the ocean, epic match.

Other than that, while I was in San Jose someone tried to sell me heroin and before I

left nyc I met a nice girl.

Bye Bye

I just wanted to give the heads up I'm leaving the country for a month starting on Monday. Costa Rica by myself. I won't have a phone or computer so I'll update this sparingly. In the meantime I'm going to direct the main page to PRR starting Sunday night since he seems to be updating with respectable frequency since hooking up his internet.

Other than that, here is a song I haven't been able to expel from my head over the past week.

:Sing Along:

ALSO

PRR failed to mention this (I think). His girlfriend's friend, who I don't know, went to a Prince concert. Apparently she doesn't have a good sense of music or a fine tuned ear. I'm not insulting Price, he is a pioneer. However its the statement she made after attending the concert that was just absurd; in regards the the concert and in all honestly she said:

"It was a life changing experience."

zzzz

I'm so tired. I want to go under this desk and pass out. The brain just isn't clicking today.

0.491

Huqleberry — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:34:00 +0000

Courtesty AP.com:

State police say they arrested a man early Tuesday whose blood alcohol level was 0.491 percent — the highest ever recorded in Rhode Island for someone who wasn't dead.

Stanley Kobierowski was taken to a hospital, put in the detoxification unit and sedated, said Maj. Steven O'Donnell. He was arraigned Tuesday on charges of driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest, and he was released after promising to appear Friday at a court hearing.

"The person's lucky they survived," O'Donnell said. "There's no doubt he would have gotten killed or killed someone if he had continued on the route he was taking."

A phone listing for Kobierowski could not be found, and he did not have a lawyer in court Tuesday.

Kobierowski, 34, of North Providence, was arrested after he drove into a highway message board on Interstate 95 in Providence, O'Donnell said.

After police arrived, Kobierowski had trouble getting out of the car, then grabbed it and refused to move, forcing troopers to carry him to the breakdown lane before taking him back to their barracks, O'Donnell said.

A breath test showed blood alcohol readings of 0.489 percent, followed by 0.491, O'Donnell said, the highest readings state officials could remember for someone who didn't end up dead.

The legal limit in Rhode Island is 0.08. A level of 0.30 is classified as stupor, 0.4 is comatose and 0.5 is considered fatal, according to the health department.
