It's been nearly 3 months since I've updated here on my "daily" blog.... hehe yeah right....

Life has been to be honest.... batshit crazy! I've all but finished my classes and All that's left is the writing of my thesis... I've been in the library the past 4 days deeply immersed in the intricacies of Archaeology and modern technology. An intriguing subject no doubt, but incredibly technical...

So there I sat, hour upon hour pouring over books and articles...... slowly forming thoughts into coherent concepts..... and slowly creating 2 essays.....

But i didn't find it boring.... I didn't dread going there day after day... (at least not until the end ) because half way through my day I always had my break. I'd pack up, ride my bike a few blocks down the road... 3 minutes at most... and walk into my favorite Coffeeshop.... as I've said so many times before... the Leidseplein... my home away from home... Each day I'd stroll up there precisely at 4pm... the minute they opened... and invariably i'd be waiting outside with all the others waiting for the doors to open.... Once inside I order a cup of coffee, a gram of the white widow, and slowly roll a nice joint..... sometimes i'd sit with friends, asking them about their day... discussing politics and random subjects..... and other times i'll sit there alone, reading a book or a magazine... but sometimes just sitting there.... watching the world pass by as I drift into my haze....

Some days it's one.... others its 2... but I'm usually back to the library nice and buzzed... With nearly 5 hours before they close... I slowly ease back into my work.... my concentration returns and I finish....

but nowhere else in the world can I get that freedom.... that I can escape and enjoy my favorite herb free of consequence...free of persecution....

I just wanted to say how lucky I am to be here... and I remember that every day....
