| i want to ri my skin off.
it seems that every "great" person finds them self when they drastically and whole-heartedly respond to the mysterious way their heart beats.
so what do i do? i don't want to necessarily follow in their foot steps... only in action but not deed. only in relentless surrender to that drive.
the shane claibornes, mother theresas, and ghandi's of society are iunspiring but really the only model they provide that i should follow is losing myself in loving God, others, and His creation.
so what do i do with that?
dangit!
i want to get involved! i'm tired of reading articles and books and talking to friends who live elsewhere and feeling like i'm stuck.
i'm tired of crying when i read an exchange program brochure or think about bolivia.
damn you school loans. damn you.

| sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
tonight we went to a football game ... theres a pro team here called
"Colo Colo" and they are really really really really really really well
liked ... i cant stress that enough. heres the deal
wow.
so we get on the metro. all 32 gringos. we also have a few chilean
students going with us that weve befriended at the school we study
at... the subway is packed shoulder to shoulder and suddenly someone
screams out in spanish and everyone answers in unison, chanting
who-knows-what. people were jumping up and down, banging the ceiling,
yelling, drinking beer ... but not in a typical american
letsplaysomefootball! sense ...
so people were jumping and chanting and getting roudy to the extent
that the subway was stopped several times and reprimendations were made
over the intercom towards the passengers participating in the act. that
was just the beginning
so we get off at the stop and through the window we can see the
relatively large stadium ... thats when the whistling started ...
typically, the girl to guy ratio is pretty uneven ... id say about 30-1
at least ... they offer girls like 90% discounts on tickets, just to
encourage their attendance... we were traveling with 25 girls.
so we're walking about a half a mile to the stadium surrounded by
hundreds of excited fans who were wearing flags around their necks like
capes, chanting, selling hotdogs, flags, beanies, stickers, small
children, etc.
after about a half hour of whistling and getting made fun of in spanish
we made our way, slowly but surely, into the stadium and it was packed
... there was a section where the hardcore fans all sat--the cheapest
seats .... but they were shoulder to shoulder and occasionally huge,
and i really mean huge, banners about 80-100 people wide were unrolled
all the way down the crowd covering hundreds of people ... the singing
and chanting never stopped the entire game ... drums were being played,
flags were waved ... chilean pride was at its peak ... it was amazing.
there were even hundreds of riot police all geared up, lined along the
bottom of the field where the noisiest attendees resided ... the
sections of seating were all divided by 20 foot tall fences lined with
barbed wire, that chileans still managed to climb over ... and after
colo colo scored there was about a 10 minute celebration of jumping,
even louder chanting, running around hugging and the like.
no one was affraid to sing ... it was great
toward the end of the game the police asked us to leave and escorted us
out... i thought that was interesting ... evidently it was for our
safety.
kisses.

| seriously, i´ve heard "every rose has its thorn" more than any other song in this city.
it's like the radiostations have all been left on MTV circa 1991.
so yesterday i went to see an art exhibit of 3 famous spanish artists: goya, picasso, and miro. that was pretty sweet.
and then today i saw an art exhibit of pre-columbian art in mexico ... lots of falic symbols ... big penises and vaginas ...
so on friday we are going to a christian concert. ha. this guy marcos
witt who is supposedly one of the most popular worship artists in latin
america... that should be an experience ... hopefully i can find some
hot chilean church girls to make out with so i dont get rusty for jess
while i´m gone
nothing interesting to write. sorry.
love you guys
