Tomorrow's Interview

About a month ago, I've presented myself for a scolarship to study in the United States. Since one of the pre-requisites to apply for it was to write a personal essay saying why would someone like to study abroad, and specifically on the States, I have no clue on what would be the questions tomorrow (assuming they've read what I wrote). Assuming some of the questions will be personal ones (as Do you smoke?, or similar), the one's left remains as a mystery to me. Suggestions? Things that come to my mind would be:

  • What do you think of terrorism?
  • Have you been in prison?
  • Why would you like to study in the States, over another country?
  • Would you consider to live in the States?
  • Do you consider yourself better than other appliers to this scolarship?
  • What makes you think you deserve this scolarship?
  • Name all the 50/51 States
  • Are you snoring?
  • Hello?

Random - Shuffle

Sometimes I think life is random and shuffle. Not intentionally, but some things do happen by chance. Thing is, I have friends abroad. And at least three of them are coming to Uruguay in september. I'm afraid if they come on a week that i have exams, i won't be able to pay them too much attention. And chances are, they will not come again to this country. Shit.

Eight things I've learned about pipes

Since the eight rarities game can be donde anytime you like, there are eight things I've learned about piepd that I would like to share:

  1. Cleaning method: You have to clean the pipe when it's dry and cold.
  2. To put the tobacco in the pipe, there's a saying that preys: First third, you put the tobacco with the hands of a child (non-tight). Second third, you put the tobacco with the hands of a woman (medium tight). And last, you put the tobacco with the hand of a man (tight enough).
  3. Have to use two matches to light it: First, you light everything, and then tight the tobacco (even if it turns off), second one, just in the middle of the pipe.
  4. There are blends of tobacco: Virginia is the most regular and neutral blend; the Burley blend it's a litlle more stronger than Virginia; Cavendish it's any sweet blend; Oriental ones are turkish, spicy and not sweet tobaccos; Latakia are also like Oriental, but they are smoked on the preparation of it; and Perique blend, it's an acid blend, original from a certain part of the U.S.
  5. How to smoke it: You don't swallow the smoke. At all.
  6. Cut style: Ready rubbed cut is a very small cut; Flake is a flake-like cut; Ribbon, very common in the Americas (like the ready rubbed); Rough cut, big pieces of tobacco; Cube cut; and the Twist.
  7. My type of pipe: Billiard small bowl size
  8. Depends on the time of the day of your smoke, the taste that the tobacco will assemble to: Not the same taste if you smoke a pipe at 9 am than 9 pm.
Have good smokes!!

New design...

I've changed the prior layout for this one... It's name is "Tequila" and i love it!!. Besides can't think anything in english, i'm sort in a dumbness, which i can't get out of it. Need some time to re think things, and post them in english. And my plans to go to Mendoza are over, because i couldn't talk with my british friend.... sniff snifff. Maybe i'll tell later my plans for tonight, which includes a lot of electronic music (if i don't get a nap, at 4 am i'll be in bed, hehehe).

Insomniac

I always have hard time trying to sleep when I had slept too much during the last night. Always found refreshing to think deep about stuff that isn’t important to anyone. Like the answer to the question of why the red is red and the green is green.Why the green is not red, and the red is not green. And the mixture of both, why is not called violet, and it’s called brown?. I’m thinking on that, among other stuff. I can’t sleep, and that makes me very reflexive. I’m thinking also that I have to download some laws from internet, but I don’t know which ones, I’ll have to update my law’s list. I also have to download the PostData cd, that they gave me the link yesterday. I have to the conference of author’s rights the day after tomorrow, and I have to inscribe myself today on that. I definitely need a cigarette. I need to print some stuff. I’d love to be in bed right now. I certainly have to talk to one of my best friends and ask her if she solved her things with a friend of hers, or if she will have an inmediate death because of that. I need to study a lot of things that I’ve got behind. I need to philosofy about the whereabouts of my life, and if I will pursue some of my dreams. I need to get a job. I have to finish my novel. I would like to meet someone famous. I would like to have a crystal ball and a lava lamp. I would like to learn some Russian. I have to travel soon, if I don’t, I would get mad. I’m nuts. I’m sayin’ nonsense. I should go to bed. Right now it’s 3 am, and I’ll have to go to classes at 10 am.
