    "Great Gods cannot ride little Horses"
    GLASGOW: We live on a pretty little street called London Road, behind the Glasgow Green, which was a popular place for the broke-necked back in the days of public hangings (it does give off a bit of a smell of rotten offal). Accross the green is the mighty Clyde river. To the west about 500 metres is "Trongate". In the good ol' days they used to do this great thing called "Lugging" where, is you were a "bad wee bastard" or "naughty" (in English)they used to nail your ear to the gate so people could chuck stuff at ya, kinda like a quick and easy version of the stocks but without the excessive use of nails that crucifiction involves. But they stopped doing that a while ago...not because it was too nasty but, and I'm not making this up, because too many people were not going to school or work cuz they were spending their days pelting the lugged.

    Oakland
    I'm in Oakland right now and Liz and me are about to go play some music. We're staying in a lovely place they call "the ghetto" which isn't quite what I expected, the roads are a lot wider than I thought they'd be and everyone in the street says "Sup" or "Sssup Big Man" to me. The house we're staying in is the only house with white people for a few blocks so we-re ghetto novelty.
    All the girls in the house when we sit on the stoop speak Spanish. They can switch and translate black ghetto speak back and forth for me and Liz. It feels very surreal most of the time.
    Although some languages are universal. I got to see a real live wooden handle gun metal grey revolver last night. I didn't get to touch it or fire it but it looked pretty cool.
