the circus is town

well, to be perfectly honest about it... i'm starting to get tired of the weirdos. I know that is just a point of view but...
Rob, you would think it was a circus here. i've seen it all, and all on one beach, often in the same day, or the same hour: a guy doing lunges.... all the way down to the waters edge, another one does cartwheels and handstands all the way down to the water's edge (ok, i admit, that was me) . another guy does "sun" yoga everyday, where it looks like he is doing some kind of weird voodoo to harness sun energy in his body, lets just say its weird and leave it at that (and my tolerance or definition for weird is waaaay loose). there are hoola hoopers, fire twirlers, drummers, people tattood head to toe, women wearing thongs.... men wearing thongs, people with something against tanlines, wearing as little as humanly possible, jugglers, tai chi-ers, then there is the gawkers, the topless bathers, the dancers, the saxophone player, the human mandala drawer, people in various stages of undress, or dress, crazy clothes, crazy hair, crazy tattoos, ( mentioned that already) .... My fire twirling, knife throwing circus performer brother Jack would be right at home here. haha

everybody's got a trip here. its almost to see who can outdo themselves being the most creative, the most bizarre, the most "out there" that they can be, just for the sake of "expressing" themselves, and proving that there are no rules or limits, and this seems to be the purpose of their existence.
ya, so that is getting boring. but that is just my point of view of today.
how are you?

So we have 2 days off between courses, then we start another 12 days course. Its not that it is such a rigorous schedule or anything, but in the morning I have to get up, yoga, swim and breakfast and be at the centre by 10:30 on the dot. And we have a two hour lunch break but that is spent on eating and homework assignments. We finish around 5pm and so then its dinner and internet and pretty much bedtime. So its a busy - full day.... by indian standards. ha ha.

Its still a little surreal to me when... on our two hour lunch break, i can leave town and saunter down to the beach, strip down to my bathing suit and walk into the ocean. its so hot, this is a welcome respite in the middle of the day. It doesn't escape me that i spend my lunchbreak in paradise. some school. haha. if school was actually like this... i might have enjoyed it a bit more. haha. seafood salads and swims at lunch..... on the other hand... if i had grown up in hawaii or someplace like that... it would have been difficult to keep me in school, I would have been out surfing.

Wish i had a board here. it is perfect beginner waves on a beach break.

anyhow.
that's all the whining from me.
hope the hill is getting lots of snow for you skiers and boarders out there. Rip it up for me, would ya?

thanks!
peace, from Goa (aka: hippie land)
