Hello Strangers
It has been almost a month since my last post. I have completely fallen off the blogging planet. All I have to say is that I'm learning five things right now:
1) The Aztecs were crazy motherfuckers who re-enacted their god's myth by cutting off all limbs and decapitating their sacrificial victims, then throwing the pieces down a huge flight of stairs in the front of their temples. And they were incredible engineers.
2) The Inca were way cooler.
3) The history of Islam as a religion and as a political system is far more fascinating than I ever would have thought. More on this later, if I have time.
4) Weddings are not only time consuming and expensive to plan, they are also incredibly stressful. Did I mention they're time consuming and expensive?
5) This semester, to try and help the other half get her shit done, I have officially (though not completely) taken over household duties. Dishes, vacuuming, all errands, cleaning, etc. I have a whole new respect for housewives in general, and my Fiancee specifically. I had no idea how much she did until I tried to do it all myself, on top of wedding planning, full time school and work. Holy shit. If I make it to graduation I'm buying myself a drink. Or ten.
That's all for now, hopefully I can squeeze a few words about all the wonderful things higher education is teaching me in soon.
One last nugget of educational wonder: the Aztec word for "gold" literally translates as "excrement of the sun," or "sun shit."
Thank you and good night.
