Here comes 4:20 - Yet oddly I'm talking about a transit time...

Well in 3 hours, at 4:20 (Sigh - Now I want to get stoned), our merry group of 14 is off to the airport. After 3 more hours of boring checkin and waiting around we should be on a plane heading to El Savador, and from their to Nicaragua. I am all packed, some things I may not have, or have and do not need. I will see...

I am excited and also nervous, but such is my way. I worry about the small things, like how the noise of the crowd in the airport and the lights will make my head hurt, and if I can't get an isle seat - how I'll freak out with the claustrophobia and all...

I'm paranoid about many things, like money, and clothes... But I'm sure I'll be fine...
I'll be back May 14th, and then comes the job looking for thing... Sigh...

Anyway...
I know you may get into trouble without me...
So if you need me, just shine the Glum Chum signal...


And I'll come right on back...

Anywho...
Nicaragua is half a world away, I've got a bunch of songs on my mp3 player, a backpack and satchel full of my stuff, its night, and I'm wearing sunglasses... Let's do this...

Salty Rasberries to the company that makes Dukoral...

Well my rant, right below this one, speaks of my troubles with a medicine I was lead to believe had red food dye in it. After having the pharmacist ask directly to the company if their rasberry flavoured anti-cholera medication had red food dye in it, they refused to ever give us a straight answer... Stupid assholes... Suffice to say I found out last night that the flavouring came from an alkesetzer kinda white powder... So I got the medicine just in time for it to take effect before I go...

Imagine the taste of a terribly flawed attempt at rasberry flavouring, and then dump in a pound of salt, that's what this tasted like... However it had no deadly dye...
If only the company had freakin told me that!!!

Red Food Die... OF DEATH!!

Red Food Dye!! You win this round!! You fucken bastard... Yeah that's right, I'm pissed off...

I'm going to nicaragua, and thusly have been getting my shots and medications for things down there...

However, the only medication on the market for Cholera has Red Food Dye in it... Oh, let me reiterate that... The ONLY anti-cholera medication on the market has a substance in it that has no medicinal value, is actually mildly toxic to all people, and has one of the highest allergic reaction rates to do with dyes... The only reason they ever dye something like this is for marketing reasons, so this just leaves me in awe... Yes that's right this "Dukoral" has a monopoly on the market, and yet adds red dye to their precious rasberry flavoured medicine... The dye is not necessary... It just makes the medicine look pretty, you know like blood...

Fucken system... So theres nothing I can do...
Oh unless I take the medicine, which would result in the following...


Here's me getting dizzy, swelling, hiving, and about to die from their evil medicine...



And here's me after my death where, for some reason, someone has removed my red dyed skull and added it to their fountain of red food dye death... Really I think this was uncalled for, but that's the way the universe dealt these cards... I believe I am the one on the upper right...

I'm done... Huzzah?!

On monday I handed in my final essay of the semester... With no exams, and all my essays in... I'm done... Done this semester... This year... This school...

Huzzah!!

I've gone from this...

In my humble first year beginnings...

To this...

This honestly being the most recent picture I have of me 2 weeks ago in the end of my 4th year...

So it's over... Now what?!
