I have one friend in life who I emulate…he’s intelligent, well-traveled, deep-thinking, but an extrovert. Practical, helpful, creative, goofy, loves to have fun in life, into the outdoors, into culture…..
I told him I might go back to camp, and here was his response:
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
there are many more jewish girls in the kibbutz!!! and they look much better. believe me , i know!!!
no camp remember? i know you miss joe’s lovely voice. i know you miss bad beer in terrible red neck pubs with time limitations, i know you miss the great food and the polite and conciderative children and above all, being treated as a teenager . but listen, be reasonable for a second… i think you have to stop with this addiction! its gonna be your 6-7th year?
i barely held one.
you have to get out of this loop. the perlman alumni worm hole.
dont waist another priceless summer of your short life in that place.
you remember what they wrote on the T -shirts last year? it was “50 fabulos summers”.
well it was 50 fabulos summers for people all over the world going travelling. just like you have to do.
o.k , so dont come to israel but go to malaysia, go to france, fuck it , go to saudi arabia. travel everywhere except starlight pa.
just pack the same backpack with the exact same things you would take to camp with you, and go somewhere else to experience a different experience from the one you had for the last six years. think of how many exiting things the world has to offer. think of rafting in the kachkar mountains, think of scuba diving with whales, think of crossing the border from india to tibet by foot just passing by the everest. now imagine the staff lounge
i have nothing more to say.

I just got back to OB Baltimore…where i’ve had a long long long week. I don’t even know if i want to wait till the summer to travel. I’m sooooo worried about my future right now.

Is that you in the picture with the boat? I always wondered.
More on swap-yas later…I’m off to dinner.
For now, though, just wanted to let you know that my senior thesis compares slavery and emancipation Key West and St. Mary’s County, Maryland. Cool stuff. I thought I’d get a trip to Key West out of it to do “research,” but no such luck. B-)

That is an awesome picture. I am sorry to hear that you are lacking those things. I know that there have been times in my life where I have been the same way. I know that may come as no consolation. Everything in my life that had once made me happy, didn’t any longer. So what I did was make a big change. I moved to Florida, I switched schools. They say that you can’t run from your problems, but you can start fresh. It sounds like you are yearning for something more. Something new. And I think that in times like this you shouldn’t hesitate. Don’t worry about the what-ifs, just do it. Perhaps there is something you have been thinking about for a while about doing, and through it you will find your purpose. It will come to you.
On another note, I have always greatly enjoyed reading your posts. There has always been this amazing aspect to your writing that has captivated me. They have always filled my head with new ideas, and questions for the things that I have learned. It has been very interesting to accompany you on your quest for new knowledge.
My last post was written somewhat with you in mind. We all need a little perspective. Whenever I am feeling down about little things, or big things, thinking about life in terms of this always makes me realize why I am here.
