Meaning of Life is Pleasure

That's what the Rosh Yeshiva said. That we are here to experience the best that life has to offer and we have everything we could ever need. Beautiful mountains, and flowers, ice cream, wireless internet yadda yadda yadda. So yea, life is pretty amazing. That realization itself is worth the threat of rocket-propelled grenades (kidding mom, in case you read this).

This Shabbat was at the school and was fun. Friday night especially. Lots of wine and whiskey.
I shocked my father when I told him that orthodox jews drink. Haha. Wait, did I write that in a previous post? Hm, don't remember (in literary terms, we call that a stream of consciousness).
RIP Michael Jackson. As screwed up as you were, you made a lot of people happy and gave away lots of money and time for charities.

Oh yea, Republican leaders Nevada Sen. John Ensign's and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford get "caught" having extramarital affairs. Now for those who are unaware, the orthodox community can be generalized as "righties." It's hard to find anyone here, and all of Israel for that matter, that does not want Obama dead. But it's the same righties that vote for these GOP members that keep having affairs, yet Judaism teaches about, well, not doing that. All Republicans should be pissed off right now. You hated Clinton for that remember? If you don't have anything nice to say, let the Republicans say it for you. Sorry, I thought that was funny.

Tomorrow begins another week. I'll be going to Tel Aviv on Tuesday with my friend Daniel Cippriani to visit a friend of his. I haven't spent time there other than a visit to the Mediterranean, enhancing the experience with Jellyfish stings. So I'm pumped. I wish a good week to everyone!
