again?

i wrote the last post.

and then biked from the coffee shop in pest to my grocery in buda. and as im biking home with 3 liters of juice i see..what do you know..some lost germans. i think some higher force is goin to help me learn german this summer. so im explaining them in german how to take the bus through the tunnel and then we start chatting about bearrrrrlin and it fades back into english. again. i think this summer i will pretend like im from...france? no somewhere else...hungary perhaps is good since they assume that anyways, these tourists. "wow, you have such good English!" um yeah im american. that is my new plan...ich spreche keine anglish. no english! hungarisch? that needs help as well. then i came home. and our latest couchsurfer is..sitting on the couch. and his name is steven and hes from oklahoma. and suddenly i realize i have never met anyone to my knowledge from oklahoma. and he is great. very bright, full of americana and american history. oklahoma...."oklahoma was created when the americans invaded the land that they had just sold to the people who lived there. and they shot a lot too." thats pretty much american history in a nutshell. he is a bright southern boy, saying i suppose, and i reckon, ya understand, and its cute as a button. and showing my finnish roommate videos of toby keith, young buck - the essence of southern rap, bob dylan- the best american singer-song writer ever, and explaining the story of john henry and oklahomas greatest, the 'beginning of american music,' woody guthrie..'this land is your land...' he said quite some things i disagreed with, but it was very interesting to hear someone else talk of america and the south. esp someone a bit well traveled and well thought out, i might say. then he called beyonce a 'musician' and i was like whoa. calm down there. singer and dancer will suffice. and now im trying to study but hes talking about american foreign policy and the middle east so its very hard...ahh back to work..again.
