I am no Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim. I hate crowds, and despite the fact that I live in a smallish space and smoke, my nose is rather sensitive. I've read so many books set in India, the past and the present India, and I might like the mountainous parts of India for its beauty, I might like the people, but I hate crowds and am not a woman who loves all of humanity, just because. And then there is the crush of stinking humanity. The scene Nan refers to is the perfect metaphor for the reason I have no desire to go to India, or China, or any number of other places on the globe that might have great charm and beauty that runs parallel with and is adjacent to the shit-hole of humanity. I am not Mother Theresa, or the enlightened one. I'd rather say home, now that I'm old. As close as I want to get to the crush of humanity is at the grocery store. I traveled when I was young. I'd have been up for all kinds of adventure when I was young. Not anymore.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-36625904246130176352008-12-30T16:54:00.000-07:002008-12-30T16:54:00.000-07:00now everybody will want to be a slum dog :( linknow everybody will want to be a slum dog :( <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8csouABZSA" REL="nofollow">link</A>Ghost Dansinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216056025402469120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-42866110054424130292008-12-30T16:40:00.000-07:002008-12-30T16:40:00.000-07:00Randal, did you miss Blindness?

It's like wearing a pair of pantyhose over your head, or a ski mask. They usually write tripe, off topic and out of their league, juvenile and foolish. Are they that childish in the real world?Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-34422263180160531482008-12-30T15:44:00.000-07:002008-12-30T15:44:00.000-07:00We saw it Christmas Day.
