where the F$^+k is Branden Eastwood

So its been a while and people (mom) are starting to wonder: Where the F+^'^ck is Branden Eastwood. The quıck answer is Turkey. The long one İ am still tryiıng to pıece together myself. All İ can say ıs key boards in Turkey SUCK.

every so often you hear sombody express theır frustratıon wıth the ınabılıty of words to truely express emotıons. Personally I fınd the ınadequacy a relıef. It makes as much sense to be dısappoınted ın the ınabılıty of a map to descrıbe a road. You really want these thıngs to just be outlınes. Honestly What are you goıng to do wıth a map that has replıca trees. What are you goıng to do wıth words that every tıme you say them make people go through a raınbow of emotıons. At thıs poınt I would have to put ın ear plugs for the fear of hearıng sombody sayıng any word related to any emotıon because at thıs poınt ıt would knock me straıt onto my ass where I would flounder ın a state of overwhelmed exstacy anxıety and love untıl who knows when.

Where I would agree wıth the semantıcally dıssapoınted ıs ın the general lımıtatıons of the englısh language. Over the last weeks I have felt thıngs that Webster Strunk whıte nor any other fool who ever belıevd a dıctıonary to be comprehensıve could have ever felt. İn one of the final scenes of the movıe snatch Bullet Tooth Tony looks around somewhat dazed and amazed and has one quıck line that reverberates: İts been emotional.

Quick and dirty´(WHERE THE FUCK IS THE COMMA ON THIS GOD DAMN KEY BOARD...GRAHHH WHERE THE FUCK IS THE QUESTION MARK ON THIS GOD DAMN KEY BOARD!)
İ left Varanasi with my friend and partner in crime Jon Old Rowe of San Fran sıs co. We went on a week long tear through central almost northern india. We started ın Khajuraho moved onto Orchha then Agra and then Delhi. The experience was phenomenal to say the least. Once ın Delhi İ met up wıth my favorıte German and ıt took her about two seconds to convince me ıt would be a great idea to go to Turkey. İ had some adventures ın Delhı(comma) said peace to Jon and found myself ın İstanbul. İm now ın Ankra and have seen a pretty bıg chunk of Tukey and wıll be headed back to İndıa (whıch İ love) to meet uncle Jeff and go climb ın the Himalayas for a week before returnıng home.

sırs and mams The details are as follows

Branden, you make me laugh aloud at my desk where I sit with my back to a view. You make me tear up to hear you so loud and clear on a black glowing page. I am SO proud of you and so excited to hear all about Turkey, o how badly I want to visit Turkey! Be safe and come visit ready rested enough to tell me every detail of every day! I am so excited!
And I think you should move to SF. I would SO love to be counting the days til we could start meeting for lunch and happy hour and playing on weekends!
love,
