8220;Gonna forget about myself for a while, go out and see what others need.” – Bob Dylan. Thoughts of a Seventeen Year-Old. November 30, 2006. Rift Valley Children’s Orphanage, Wednesday, November 26, 2006, 5:26pm. None of the student-teachers I have met, who are all 17-23, have any idea how old I am. Maybe since I am a mazunga we all look the same. Most have guessed around 26 or younger and they are amazed to find out I am 32 (I guess this is a good thing; maybe my days of trolling for college ...Becau...

8220;Gonna forget about myself for a while, go out and see what others need.” – Bob Dylan. See You On the Dark Side of the Moon…. December 22, 2006. Dar es Salaam, Friday, December 22, 2006, 2:19pm. In her shorts. I’m not a critic, just an observer, and I am more than sympathetic to these issues as I had a rather comical incident in the Serengeti that I failed to report. Perhaps I will get to that one later. You get to know people very fast when a foreigner traveling in third-world countries and the topi...

8220;Gonna forget about myself for a while, go out and see what others need.” – Bob Dylan. The Seeds of Faith. October 31, 2006. The last week plus has been mad busy; trips to REI, doctors appointments and immunizations, saying goodbye to friends, trips to the drugstore, and more. I’ve had something to do most nights and was treated to many dinners. It’s nice to have good friends who take care of you. In the town of Oleandi, in the District of Karatu, on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater. Writing is some...

8220;Gonna forget about myself for a while, go out and see what others need.” – Bob Dylan. Zanzibar via Dar and the Ferry Scene From Hell…. December 18, 2006. Kewdwa, Zanzibar, 10:54am, Saturday, December 16, 2006. More of the same unpredictable African experiences when I woke up the next morning in Arusha. The Barclay’s bank machine was out of order, but luckily I had gotten up plenty early so as to avoid such a situat. Dar is hotter than a witches tit. Is that an expression? How hot is a witches tit?

8220;Gonna forget about myself for a while, go out and see what others need.” – Bob Dylan. December 8, 2006. Rift Valley Children’s Orphanage, Monday, December 3, 2006, 9:02pm. We started down a cutback on a trail that opens up to a gradual descending field. I was following Lisa, chatting about who knows what, when she stopped dead in her tracks. What is that she said? I’m sure the man who alerted us of the figure’s homo-sapien status thought this was no place for city-slicker mazungus. Now how do talk a...

Music and Consciousness | Jambo Tanzania!

8220;Gonna forget about myself for a while, go out and see what others need.” – Bob Dylan. December 8, 2006. Rift Valley Children’s Orphanage, Tuesday, December 4, 2006, 9:31pm. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own. Sometimes we visit your country and live in your home. Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk along. Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own. Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world. Eyes of the World, The Grateful Dead. The Grateful D...

Foreign Lands and Lovers – Bringing It All Back Home | Jambo Tanzania!

8220;Gonna forget about myself for a while, go out and see what others need.” – Bob Dylan. Foreign Lands and Lovers Bringing It All Back Home. January 13, 2007. Schipol Airport, Amsterdam, December 24, 2006. Shut up you fucking whore! Get out of my face! I always watch how people treat others in the service industry, whether someone is talking to a waiter or a prostitute. I find it is generally a pretty good way to judge character. But it is all you know to do at that moment because life is calling you o...
