My stories

Oct. 15, 2005

By seannelson on Thu, 13 Oct 2005

I'm getting ready to leave for Thailand in a few days. I'll be teaching English at a university there, in a city known for Buddhist temples. I've been suffering from anxiety and depression, to the point that I often freeze up in crucial situations or occasionally even sabotage my own projects. Nonetheless, my recent life has been blessed with many small joys. Yesterday, I took a walk in Lithia Park, which is always beautiful during the Fall. There, I saw a smallish tree that was positively awash in fire-orange leaves.

I've been staying at my Mom's house in Ashland, OR. I've accepted a job at a university in Thailand that starts at the beginning of November. I passed up a job in Korea that payed three times as much with approximately the same cost of living. I did so because the Thailand job has fewer hours and is located in a very small city surrounded by Buddhist temples. I hope to use my free time to continue my study of the world.

This Fine Art

as monotonous as knitting, as melancholy as piano, as treacherous as fencing, as solitary as painting, as ferocious as poetry, as chilling as the bull-fight, as uplifting as gardening, as erotic as sculpture,

Just Me Aping Wisdom

By seannelson on Tue, 06 Sep 2005

The recent finding that all of the great apes are in extreme danger of extinction should cause all of humanity to stop and really think about the paths we've chosen and where they're leading. If the world were a wheat farm, modern humans could best be likened to locusts, everywhere sucking up the wild life and replacing it with hungry young hoppers. But unlike in the case of the locust, there are no nearby wheat farms to continue our lifestyle on.
