I Had My First Post-India Moment
First off let me just define the post-India moment as something that would not have happened if I had not gone on a magical journey to Hindustan. Justin maybe this is what you meant by "India Eyes." So last night I was watching The Last of the Mohicans, which is a fantastic movie by the way, and if you are familiar with it you are no doubt familiar with the film's fantastic musical score. Well, Daniel Day Lewis and company are trekking through the pristine forests of 1757 upstate New York when they begin to cross a river, hopping across and over rocks (remind anyone of Ladakh!), all the while the main theme is building in the background. Finally it reaches its thunderously beautiful climax at which point I began to weep tears of joy.
Partly because it is such a tremendous musical composition, but mostly because I was reminded of our trek through Ladakh, over the course of which the music from The Last of the Mohicans and Dances with Wolves were constantly reverberating in my head, the latter would play whenever I was ridding one of the horses. It's just a thing I have with horses, whenever I ride one Dances with Wolves cues up on the iPod in my brain. And yes, there is an actual iPod touch sloppily implanted between the left and right hemispheres of my brain, how do you think I would connect to those wireless networks anyway (inside joke, parents you won't understand). Oh hey, good news from the home front, guns sales are up %300-400, because apparently 280 million guns (that's 9 guns for every 10 humans in the US) just isn't enough. It's probably paranoid whackadoos stocking up on guns and ammunition for the impending Race War. Well, I thought I'd just talk to you guys about something other than pooping.

P.S. Wade and Tim, I have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of stupendous video games which have come out whilst we were gone...it's mind boggling.

Doug,
I'm glad you're still posting. Now I have to go get those movies (or the soundtrack) to accompany my thoughts!
When will there be a music video for The Frequency Is Courage?
