I think Bruce Springsteen likes trains as well
I have a great time going from town to town on trains. JSD also enjoys the journey, as he did a little USA soul searching with Amtrak. It's actually very conducive to reading, as I've had immense trouble focusing on anything non-fiction all my life (selective ADD).
I plan to take little trips throughout the US to get my reading for architecture done... It will be expensive, as Amtrak keeps raising their prices to agitate the hell out of me, but I'm including it as an educational expense. If I can figure out a way to get the sleeper cars every time, maybe I won't have to rent an apartment in NYC...
Cost to go from Assisi to Florence to Venice (Eurostar): 39 Euro ($50) for a 6 hour trip. Nice.

Oh very young what will you leave us this time...
I stayed at this youth hostel the other night, it was in fact some weirdly religious (I think Protestant) hostel/conversion center. Ultimately, it was a nice building, but it will be my last stay in a hostel. I just realized that I'm not 18 anymore. Sitting at breakfast, I was finally that older guy sitting alone trying not to look at the teenage girls bursting with new hormones. Obviously, the benefits include watching said teenage girls jubilantly frolick about in their panties (or more realistically go to and from the public restroom).
The odd thing was, there is this bizzare age group of pre 21 and post 55 that stay at the hostel. I guess by the time you hit that age, you have no choice but to stare at much younger women, so it doesn't really matter, you can't feel sketchy. So alas, 30 years till I stay at a hostel again (Unless Ludwig drags me to one because I can imagine him just loving that atmosphere).

MVB visits Mawopiville
So, it's been a while... and because you all want mvb's opinion, I'll do a quick summary of the past few weeks of mawopi from my perspective, followed by my post about venice:
Hooters is THE place to catch a glimpse of the rare american camel toe.
It wasn't an earthquake that created the tsunami in Indonesia, it was the Americans. Indonesia has the world's largest muslim population, and the USA (george bush) planted a nuke in the ocean to create a tsunami to kill muslims. Please read the article titled Yes, the 1999 Istanbul earthquake is, beyond any doubt, American doing (scroll down the linked page to find title.)
I too want a new brain, actually, just a second one grafted to the first... I like freaks. Mawopi will soon be joining the fight to promote stem cell consumption in the American diet.
Enforcer, I met this hot american italian girl on the train to rome, and she came over last night to watch a concert at my palace (oh yeah, I live in an old fortress in Italy, there's a yearly concert series in the courtyard) with her friend and my buddy roberto. After the first 10 minutes, she wanted to have a tour of the place, really liked my bed. I made her laugh like a professional comedian, only stared at her tits when she wasn't looking, complemented her attire, and was interested in everything she had to say. And I still didn't get laid. Where did I go wrong?
cbt3. Aldo's are nice, I agree with the enforcer... but give a good pair of Italian Valaverdes a try if you can find them in new york. I've been walking every weekend for kilometers in these shoes and they have yet to hurt, or fall apart.
After having watched King Kong for the first time last week, I've realized that you just really have to trust this generation of directors. Nolan will do a good job of making Heath Ledger into a true joker.
Israeli military women=hot. I want to fuck the shit out of them, then kill them. sweetly. hot israeli soldiers
I had a friend in highschool that supposely beat off until he spurted blood. I attempted this feat once, but passed out at some point from exhaustion.
I don't know who Floyd is... but Floyd the Barber was a good song from a bygone era.
Yes, golf does suck. We should start a golf club.
Keira looks better with tits.
I once saw a sign one of those blind people warning signs that some neighborhoods put up... I thought it was like "Hey, we have a community of blind people here, come on and join us", but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how blind people would see it? Apparently, its so that cars slow down and don't run them over... 'cause they're blind... and they can't see the car. I like cow an potato.
Puerto Ricans are pretty hot, but there are so many MILFs in Italy, I think the long term bet is on mediteranean women. We need a miss universe for women over forty so we can gauge which genes will hold up to the test of time. Russian girls are friggin hot when they're young and will fuck your brains out, but they look like those fat little babushka dolls when they hit 40. I think its the vodka.
OMFG. the japanese are so cool... I want to LIVE in the tokyo underground. with a harem of young little japanese girls.
I used to get my hair cut at a barber in Izmir called "George Michael Dazzle" There was big poster of the GM on the front door. I know I should have been afraid for my anus, but I was not. In retrospect...
$50 for JSD's shit, and I'll jihad anyone that tries to outbid me. don't make me angry- that shits willed to me. along with Leo. so I deserve the stuff.
Who's Lance Bass?
listen, friends. we must start a production company. I want a sex scene with Scarlett (or as the Italians say "to make sex"). OK, ok, I'll front most of the money, but anyone that partners with mawopi on this flick will get to watch me accidentally penetrate Scarlett on a "closed set" which will conveniently be my apartment. who wants to be best boy? or gaffer?
I have no problem with little children killing people. Fatih Sultan Mehmet was 11 when he became a military leader, at 12 he became the (interim) leader of the Ottoman Empire, at 21 he took over Constantinople. What were we doing at 21? Oh right. Miller Genuine Draft.
There's no such thing as mermaids. That's an alien. Duh. Didn't anyone watch star wars? Mon Calamari?
exxon FIFO or LIFO son of mer? electric cars are stupid, I would like someone to explain to me how a vanderbilt is going to haul thousands of pounds of freight across the US with an electric motor... or are you all willing to give up strawberries in winter?
Iran has a strict policy of hygene. who knows what diseases that girl was going to bring home to her family after making out with that boy... and then black plague. Its a sketchy little bacterial world out there, we have to be careful. Oh look! prostitutes!
I've started torchering insects in a fit of heat induced insanity. I can see how it might escalate to serial killings.
Why is it that the cats can't look like Chaplin?
If theres one thing that they can say about me when I die, it's that I've never painted with my penis; I have put it in a photocopier though.

If you can't be more popular that this guy . . .
Read a story today from Iran, about a 16 year old girl who was hanged to death for "crimes against chastity".
Read it. Basically, she was making out with a boy, blah blah blah, dead. Now look. If our country, our president, our way of life, cannot be presented to the people of Iran as better than what they've got, then isn't this our fault?
Our president and his gang must be so INCREDIBLY inept, that with ALL OF OUR POWER we can't demonstrate a basic truth, that regardless of all the bad things that our society represents, we've got it better than they do, and that they might want to give it a try. After all, in a free country, you don't have to make our mistakes, you can make your own.
This should be EASY! I think we really could have done it with Cable.
And shit. Can you imagine playing your cards any worse than our team has in Lebanon? Where the hell is Kissinger? Jesus.

I think we should go ahead and have this war. I think everybody will agree that a peaceful resolution is not likely. The longer we wait, the deadlier the outcome will be. In 10 years we'll probably have 3 nuclear powers in the region. (USA, Israel, Iran) Then in 20 years we'll figure out an even more horrible way to kill millions of people. We keep putting this off, but it's gonna have to blow eventually.
So maybe we should just go all in on this one, let the dust settle, and start again.

MAWOPI Auction : Former Belongings of JSD
When HQ 1.0 closed down earlier this summer, and JSD vacated the premesis for exotic locations far afield, he left behind three very fancy yet hip pieces of luggage, filled with an assortment of electronics, clothing, and other fancy yet hip items that one would expect to find on JSD at any given time.
It is understood by me that arrangements had been made for their retrieval, but apparently these efforts have been cancelled.
Therefore it is my great honor to announce the first ever MAWOPI auction.
Those of you who know JSD will no doubt be eager to bid - even without knowing the exact content of these very fancy pieces of hipster luggage, you are sure to get your hands on some primo stuff.
I would be very tempted to keep these items, if not for the luggage alone, but I have other plans for my limited closet space.
Opening bid, 50c

Golf is stupid
Tiger woods won something over in England this weekend.
Look. Golf is pretty much billiards played on a FREAKING ENORMOUS table. Now billiards is cool and all, but I don't know who the world champion is, nor should I. And the reason that Golf is any different escapes me.
Putt putt golf is fun - there are little windmills and weird goofy traps and stuff - and you can play with girls, which makes it that much more fun. Girls that play the other kind of golf are usually no fun at all.
But golf is stupid, and takes up altogether too much space. What sense does it make to dedicate so much space to such a stupid game? Couldn't we use that for something else? Civil War reenactments or capture the flag?
freaking golf.

Ask the Enforcer - Long-distance relationships
Dear Enforcer,
The only girl I’m really interested in now is my ex-girlfriend C****l. Unfortunately, she lives in San Fran. I’ve tried long distance before and they never work out (NY-Chicago). I’m not about to move to San Fran. But she’s the only one who raises my blood pressure when I hear from her. Everyone else is like, “ah, whatever”. She visited recently about 2 months ago. Her last visit was very nice. We haven’t ‘gone out’ since 1998, but we always had an on-and-off thing since we first met. Not just physical, although that is part of it. She has a lot of strength, confidence and personality. A lot of my attraction is that I fully respect her as a person.
- C
Dear C -
It’s funny how people who are across the country happen to make your blood boil. But I definitely think that if you two were meant to give it another go, it may still happen. Plus, if the only thing that is keeping you interested is that you haven’t found anyone better, that’s no reason. But maybe it’s the type of girls that you’re dating? One of my best friends called me from abroad (haha) the other day to say the same thing, and I told him standards were nothing to shy away from, but then pursue girls who you might not necessarily think to otherwise. As much as it sucked at the end, my ex was a great boyfriend until...well, until he stopped wanting to do that anymore. He was also someone I would have never looked at twice in the beginning.
And screw long distance unless you’re already in a committed relationship.
What raises your blood pressure? Is it just physical? An if she’s so great, why the on again off again BS?

Bush is going to use his first presidential veto to fuck over the country - shocker
Senate set to pass stem cell research bill, Bush to veto
So, these are stem cells that are going to be discarded - left over from invitro-fertilization attempts and the like. Bush has decided that it would be better to discard them than to let them be used for something, well, useful.
The only reason i can think that he is doing this, besides the fact that he can, is that he doesn't want anything good to come out of this reasearch because then it might be rather difficult to stop progress in the future.

Italy, a few thoughts
- an end to the "which NY pizzeria has the best pizzas" debate. Nothing compares with the Italians' original. Soon I will try the best of the best, in Napoli.
- There is no reason ever to drink Napa Valley wine again. Even the caraffe wines are good.
- Take notes in a little black book while in touristy places in Italy. You will get a discount on your meal. Nothing is every free in Italy, but tourism is the only thing this country has (and olive oil, and wine, and chocolate, and leather, and furniture, and fashion, Ok, nevermind)
- every Tabbacci shop (special tabacoo and firearms store) has a different type of matches. You have to pay to get them, but they are pretty cool. I liked the box of one hundred tiny tiny tiny ones.
- italians like small cars. i think it makes them feel big.
- There are more Americans in Italy than Italians. Do not ever go to Florence in the high season. It sucks. Bigtime. i felt like I was in Disneyland. Lonely planet said it best: "You should visit some of the quaint little towns in Italy with the millions of other tourists that are visiting these quaint little towns to marvel at how little and quaint they are."
- Max's in NYC does in fact make really good Italian food. Bravo boys.
- i don't know if you tip in Italy. I have yet to do it. Maybe they hate me. Sometimes they charge me for the placemat and utensils (when I asked what a specific charge was on my bill, the girl picked up my paper placemat. i wish I spoke better Italian. I had a lot to say to that)
- You will drink the best coffee of your life. Not everywhere, but when you get the good stuff.... damn. Your piss will smell different too. don't be scared.
- italian men like to tattoo the inside of their forearms with random english words like "timeless" and "friend and you". It reminds me of the fake english t-shirts you find in Europe like "Chicago Bulls World Champions NFL"
- you can stay in one-star Pansiones, they are better than 3 star hotels.
- take a few bottles of beer with you on the train. No one cares.
- High fashion costs the same in Italy as it does in the rest of the world. Gucci will not give you a discount because "I am in Italy! Where's my sconto?" That is why i buy things from german and spanish stores. It is amusing for me to do this.
- Summer discounts. Italians love this time of year, and will stock up on everything. I saw one guy buy 20 shirts. He was only surpassed by this other dude who bought 30. That one was from Texas. Funny.
- Pucci is not a Gucci ripoff, it is a real brand!
- Italy is full of super huge doors... like 20 foot tall. They look awesome: word of advice, big doors are heavy.
- Take note italy: buildings that are hundreds of years old can be cool, elavators that are a hundred years old are not.

Once the principles of operation of human intelligence are understood, expanding its abilities will be conducted by human scientists and engineers whose own biological intelligence will have been greatly amplified through an intimate merger with nonbiological intelligence.

New Scarlett Johansson Movie Looks Good
Although the plot of the film for some reason does not center on her character, she is in the film, and so, it will probably be quite good. The story looks quite interesting, but I feel that if you want me to be interested in things other than Scarlett Johansson, you probably shouldn't use her in your movie. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to this.

What's Joanne Colan Wearing? Episode 1
So Amanda is gone, and at first, I was furious, and certain that she was irreplaceable.
I was prepared to hate whoever replaced her, but, well, Joanne is very cute.
So, good luck Amanda. Hi Joanne!

???????????????????????????????
on the site, you will find this description for the image pictured above:
" KingGyo-no-Hung Goldfish's excrement.
A natural health meter in tablet form
(made of 18K gold) which you take internally
and examine the results externally."
I do not know what any of this means, but I love it all.
This site was referred by our loyal friend Kyomara, who may or may not choose to
shed some light on the matter.
My only regret is I can't figure out how to buy any of these things. Please help.

ciao ragazzi, Italy phase I
Italy so far has been quaint. I'm living in a landlocked state within Italy, pop. about 150,000. I live in a castle in the suburbs. yes, its as cool as it sounds; not a british style mansion, but a fortress that has been converted into apartments.
I have yet to acquire a vespa, or a fiat, so I have been on foot mainly. I walked to the town of St. Francis of Assisi, 7km from where I live, mostly uphill. For those of you that are catholic, you know how important the town is... it is small, but cute.
Also, Europe's biggest jazz concert is in the city of Perugia (the main township we are connected to). So it's been packed full of folks.
I don't have any photos yet, because my cousin sent me a scsi cable instead of my battery charger. Yes, this is a problem. But soon enough, photos for all.

La mama di Zidane e na putana
If 58 million people scream the same thing at the same time, does it automatically come true? I feel sorry for that poor woman.

Train attacks in Mumbai, India (Bombay for the colonialists)
137 people were killed in a train bombing in India yesterday. Kashmiri fucking idiots were the main suspects.
Of course, it's my people that probably did it
