Diversifying my Tongue

I wish I was fluent in a foreign language. I would constantly talk in it. I would make everyone I was close to learn it also, so we could just have lengthy conversations about how ugly, stupid, and just generally intolerable other human beings are, while said people standing mere feet away.

Right now, I'm at the Temple Tech Center, which for the record I hate, listening to two Indians talking with each other, undoubtedly about how the milky-white male next to them could have possibly gotten so lanky and awkward. Well, probably not, but if they were they'd certainly be getting away with it, just one of those fantastic things about not being restricted to English as an American.

Aside from the benefit of taking under-the-radar shots at people who are right in front of you, I think being fluent in a foreign language would take my game to the next level. Frankly, it would take any person's game to the next level. There's a mystique that comes with those new accents, and new dialects breed new mystery within someone of the opposite sex. Not to mention, it just sounds smooth, the with each new language learned a person's game increases accordingly.

Just a few other thoughts before I take a stab at schoolwork...
In Brad We Trust. Brad Lidge has gotten the job, however brief, accomplished so far. Until further notice, I trust him. He may not be the Brad of 2008, but he's still a close personal friend of mine, and I will support him for the long haul.......Man, I love Philadelphia. I just do. It's a great place to be happy, it's a great place to be miserable. No place like it on earth.....Got a class tonight that the teacher is not going to be there for, he informed us last week. He wants us to attend and hold class anyway, and ya know what, I'll be there. Probably the first professor at Temple I've really appreciated. It just goes to show that you don't have to be a pretentious authoritative douche to earn the respect of your students......I eat grapenuts for breakfast most mornings. Does that make me old?....ok time to go, the Indian kids next to me are watching a "Mean Girls" clip on youtube, and needless to say, I am way to distracted to finish this entry in a creative fashion. Peace!
