You don’t work a blog for a few months, and suddenly there’s 299 comments waiting to be tended to, most of which are trying to people boner pills, or urge to me to click on a link (usually involving boner pills).  They go something like this:

I apologise, but, in my opinion, you commit an error. I can defend the position. Write to me in PM, we will communicate.(real link omitted because I don’t want to encourage them)I have a joke for you =) A neutron goes into a barber shop and asks the barber, “How much for a haircut?” The barber replies, “For you, no charge

They don’t even close quotation marks, but I’m sure it’s the fault of some poor kid in some far off land trying to make a buck or rupee or whatever it is they decide to use.  Each time I see one of these, it reminds of the This American Life episode in which people bait Nigerian scammers into doing humiliating and sometimes dangerous things, and it surprises me how a myriad of emotions can erupt from the torrent of spam comments I get on this site.

It seems a little late for resolutions, and this is on titanic tangent, but I’m set on having a more fun, exciting life, and so here’s what I’m going to start doing:

1)  Take more pictures.  If the pictures are still boring at the end of the week, then I’ll have to re-evaluate my time spent, but I’m hoping to have at least one jaw-dropping experience a week.  I live in a pretty magical place after all.

2)  Blog.  Also, so I can post the pictures.

3)  Get out of the country.  Some things on the horizon, but it’s too early to tell what’s going to pan out.

4)  Get serious about learning a language.  Portuguese, Japanese, French?  So much to learn, so little time.

5)  Buy a new laptop.

Is this list too humble or over the top?  The next post will have pictures.
