Have any of you read a book that came out recently called Shantaram? its really really good.
it's a "true" story about a guy who escaped from a new zealand prison and made a life for himself in bombay... he actually became a slum dweller for some time.
so one of the slum dweller dudes gets drunk and beats his wife with a stick. they bring him out leave him hung over in the middle of the little village. he wakes up and the leader of the village will only give him more alcohol... when he asks for water. he keeps asking for it... until he is so dehyrated he is broken. then finally they give him some water and then beat the hell out of him until he give in.
kindof feel like that guy right now... but its good.
I feel my head clearing a bit. I am really thinking about everything you all have said. I feel like you all have righted me on my course a bit...
I was just walking down the hall in the hospital thinking to myself "More Mother Teresa... less Donald Trump". I don't know why those names came up but it sounded good to me...
You know my wife keeps telling me that I tell her I'm going to do something, behave a certain way and then I don't do it... that I cannot keep my word.
perhaps you all see a pattern here?
more to think about.
actions speak louder than words. I need to start living by that.
I need to take the pity party decorations down from my house...
