Here is the place where I am to ramble about life and love and languages. You'll probably encounter some quasi-anthropological ranting and a lot of wanderlust. I do try not to be too emo, and occasionally throw in things of worldly interest, so stop by and read if you have a few minutes. :)

Just The Way We Are
"We're compulsive spenders. We like to spend. We spend it before we get it. That's just the way we are. Thats the way Americans have always been. It's just the way we are."
