I eat tomatoes for snacks

Mechi occasionally lets me have dessert after a vegetable party on Indian bread or noodles with octopus.  To most people, or maybe just Americans, this means like chocolate, something sweet, something that will make me die young.  False, I get an orange.  That isn´t dessert you say?  Then go find a mom who thinks she´s overweight and meditates all day.  I love her.

I like to know what my friends are writing about Buenos Aires (good, right? Usually not) so I occasionally do the major disservice to my eyes to read about every mundane moment.  I have since realized that if you too want that disservice then you should find a new friend. 

After Arabic class today I was walking and decided to think.  I was thinking about specialization and development.  That is to say people learn a basic language then they learn a technical language which is the basis for their financial lives and as an unfortunate result 75% of their life.  Historically, the typical American learned two languages, conversational English and then lumberjack, glass maker, train conductor, etc.  Some even spoke several languages, construction, management, and conversational English.  These people usually were paid more (should they effectively utilize their language competencies).  But I think speaking more than one language doesn´t exclusively equate to more money (which isn´t always true and should not be the motivational factor) but instead personal development, diversification, and maximum utilization of our capacity to learn.  I want to learn more languages.  Beyond my aspirations for conversational languages, I think I would like to learn leadership, international policymaking, and US law.  Just like some people speak baseball or sewing I think I would like to speak triathlon and work as hard as my inspirational mommy.  Perhaps a dash of other languages but for now this should do.
