we loves the desert, yes we does

ok i tried.

but blogger didnt let me post a couple of weeks back.

last week wanted to but didnt really get the chance. last week also saw me get closer to me grave. the day was hectic as usual but the night was exactly as planned and expected. i believe i reached a point when i could actually donate alcohol. and of all the pix taken, none can be proven beyond a doubt that it was me. damn!! tattoo was a giveaway!

made some new friends. this friend making thing aint so bad. what is bad is the weather. it is absolutely killer now. the humidity has decided to make an early entry. its bad enough the 50 degree mark is crossed so consistently, but to add to it??!! labour law stipulates that if the temp touches 50 degrees it is a day off. but strangely enuff, weather reports always only say 48 or 49 degrees. last year when the temp soared to over 55 degrees (and i have proof), ther was the electricity drive thingy. which meant we had to switch off or they shut off for a while. a country this rich and this small has not seen a new power generator built since sometime in the 70s.

meanwhile, new building (skyscrapers to be a little more precise) construction has been going berzerk. now the amount of water used and the electricity is not taken into account. this year its save water. im sorry to say this but expat population is more aware of this than the locals. we were brought up to understand the importance of conserving and saving. it is unfortunate, the local population doesnt see things the same way. not saying theyre all the same. but the ones who know and understand are vastly outnumbered. i guess it is a place for all things to die. it IS a desert after all.

that outta my system, i have been constantly lacing my blood stream with, er, hm, "different water". mostly weekends really. finally found a tattoo artist who can be reached. most leads chased were dead ends. ive seen the guys work and his detailing is fantastic. now alls i need is to finalise what i want permanently etched into my dermis.

right now tho, stoner rock is the only way.
