It´s going to take all my resources to get the fuck out of this mess. Nicaragua kicked me out and Costa Rica has refused me entry. The situation is as grim as the time I was living in the half way house for SSI rejects in Laconia and playing lottery tickets with spare change found between the cracks of my ego. Maybe this will kick start my ambition to run for hobo mayor. I don´t know. But any one who has any solution such as a friend in the Costa Rica embassy will please help me with a letter of recommendation to get back to the beach paradise and let me live in peace. To clarify...Costa Rica gives 90 day visa. Then nicaragua gave me 30 days. Now Costa Rica is telling me that I have used my 90 day maximum. But Nicaragua tells me I have also used my 30 days maximum. So neither country will allow me in and if you check out a map then you will see that leaves me fucked.
please help. send the fucking Marines back to Nicaragua!
gotta go now.

Murdering a Dress
I want to combine two popular/compelling internet events: 1) The debate of what color "The Dress" is, and 2) the Steven Avery trial that is the subject of Making a Murderer docuseries.
What the two have in common is simply the complete polarity of opinions despite equal stimuli. The dress debate was if the colors were Gold and white, or Black and Blue. The actual dress was a tint in the range of black and blue. But the photo was clearly gold and white to me and many people. When seen in a different photo I can clearly see it is black and blue. But in the controversial photo I clearly saw a tint of white and gold. I don't mean popcorn white and Aztec gold, but a tint in the range of gold and white. Just like the real dress is in the range of black and blue. There are many shades of black and blue and gold and white. off-white, greyish black. etc. Many many shades, but in general I could polarize the picture into gold and white. But the dress is actually not remotely gold and white. The dress only appeared white and gold to me. This was an optical illusion that caused a divide in opinions that captivated people and is still being studied. This demonstrates the infinite range of experiences and how humanity is still learning about our own perceptive abilities/sensitivities.
This is not to be confused with preference such as with the new Star Wars movie. Some people love it and some people hate it. But at least we can all agree on the color and shape of the principal characters as they appear to us.

Boogie Christmas
It's not easy holding a smartphone in a waterproof bag in one hand and trying to use a boogie board in the other and hold up my shorts from falling down my ass crack at the same time. I had a creative Christmas card idea but it fell through along with my energy as it was sapped by food poisoning or amoebic dysentery for 3 or 4 days. And being forced to move out so the hostel can make more money through the holiday season. So, Happy Holidays, the tropical weather should be global soon thanks to a deep desire for NASCAR drivers to go in circles for 3 hours and huge people watch the action whilst eating chocolate covered chocolate. So, if you survive the apocalypse then you can go swimming in December with palm trees like Oggy even if you live with Arctic Wolves on Ellesmere Island.
