Ben Corman brings us Panama - An Interlude:

The isle of Bastimentos is pretty poor. The houses have a ramshackle quality, there is trash pretty much everywhere. So it wasn´t really surprising to come across a group of kids gathered around a homemade ping pong table, playing ping ping with homemade paddles and a crushed coke can for the ball. What makes this weird is on a balcony overlooking this, in a house that clearly had no respect for anything resembling building codes, was a girl working on a Sony laptop.

Then later that day I saw a guy in his early twenties standing barefoot in a muddy unpaved street playing with an iPhone. I have a feeling that the world has gotten a lot weirder since the internet.

Drinking For Two - yup 2:

when people say 'in retrospect I ...'. isn't that just a fancy way of saying 'if i had a time machine'.

worms:

I've heard about people who have worms. that freaks me out. if i had worms my biggest concern would be birds.
