Been in this place for 5 days and have not written a word, the sign of a busy man? No. The sign of a lazy man? Usually, but no in this case. The sign of a man who has nowt to write about? You'd think so, but that isn't it either. I dunno, I just have not been feeling in a very creative mood these past few days. A few nights ago, I was in a particularly 'grumpy' mood…. I was overtly hostile to everyone women who spoke to me, then, I point blank refused to go skinny-dipping with a group consisting primarily of three beautiful Dutch girls. I was not too bothered, i have seen their boobs before - but it was just sooo out of character. Also, with my rule turning me into a lustful maniac this conservative decision was even more eerie - in retrospect; at the time i just had no interest in frolicking naked in the water, or women in general. I then lay in bed watching tv, but mainly sleeping, for 24 hours. This has happened once before, about 6 months ago. I'm beginning to think my behavior was linked to the moon being red for those two days. Who knows, the moon affects sea creatures behavior, why not humans. In fact, there are more police out on a full moon than other days of the month, apparently we are more aggressive then. Maybe red moons turn me into an absolute c*** like red Kryptonite with Clark Kent (we've been watching a lot of warner brothers tv in our hotel room) - that's most likley it. I'm fine now, recovered, and just in time for the Norwegian girls school' party. Coincidently, there is a Norwegian, all-girls boarding school up here, and tonight is there end of year party. Originally, i was not planning to be here for it, but then, they promised to buy me and my friend Phil free drinks if we came. So here I am, i am even going to shave my hippie beard and small-fro. I have a feeling tonight is going to go well.

I have had my first life-altering ephiny since i have been here - second ephiny in Mexico general. This most recent ephiny: there are two types of ENFP (you need to be familiar with Jungian personality types to understand fully this profound insight, there is a box on my profile which you should click on), the deluded, hippie type and the Barack Obama type. I have recently made the conscious decision that i will definitely not be the deluded, hippie type. Success has suddenly become a lot more important to me. I came to this conclusion after a long morning/afternoon canoe paddle around a lagoon with a man named Maragrito. He was to all extents and purposes insane, or at the very least pathologically deluded. I will not go into much detail, but it seems he thought he was the only one on the lagoon following gods will - by smoking weed, and talking to animals...
After a while of subconsciously examining him, i came to the conclusion he was one of the ENFP's that had not managed to remain 'centered' you are warned of this state on some of the sites. Depressingly, I realised i had met his type before, then, shockingly, it hit me: this man would be my future if i did no center myself. Well, i am being melodramatic, i am going to uni and i do not live on a lagoon, nor do i sleep [and occasionally fall out of] hammocks 25 ft in the canopy. Seriously, f*** living in a commune or subsistence farming - or any other of that hippie s***; im going to be a politician. Thank you Margarito, this is the beginning of a new-world-order.

Puerto Escondido... I should really write something about the place. Well, it looks a lot like the OC. Cobana's on the beach, houses on the cliffs. Massive waves, and lots of surfers. I really do like this place; i am not really a beach person but i've had my fun. I went fishing the other day, we all caught a fish, mine was the smallest - something George the little git would not let me forget. Luckily, the negative attention was then turned to Phil, being the massive w***er he is, left his huge fish on the beach, while we were walking to the restaurant for them to be cooked. We didnt smoke quite as much as we had planned on the boat, there was something about it that made me want to remain sober, it somehow seemed... inappropiate. Some of you will be happy to know that, an ounce of Marijuana in Mexico costs less than a fiver. I have been toying with the idea of a tatoo for a while now, i have had a design 'commissioned' basically i just described to some guy what i wanted and he is drawing a few designs for me - its a cat. I will get it in Henna first, just to make sure. I am definitely getting a piercing though.

I have decided to give up on my no masturbation rule. It was a stupid idea. It clouds my judgment and undermines me self-respect. I have been considering some absolute filth while i have been here. I got with a barely up to par German the other day, i think that was the final straw. In my defence, it was her birthday.

I gtg, some computer vultures have been circling me for a while now. I'll let you know how tonight goes. x
