The Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal
The TaJ...
Okay so it has been over a week since I went... I have tried many times to write this blog, but my attempts have always been in vain because of this wonderful computer. SO.. I want my man to love me enough to build a taj Mahal for me.. I am only kidding the story is tragic. For those who do not know the history this emperor built this magnificent building for his wife who died while it was being built. The emperors son overthrew his father and imprisoned him. He put him in the Augra Fort, which is across from the Taj. The only view of the emperor was the taj. So he was basically miserable for the rest of his life while he was thinking about the suffering he had caused India for the price of a building. Crazy.. Anyways it was a wonderful experience! I hate Augra though. It was so hot. I woke up at 4am and went on the speed train to Augra. A man told me that you have not lived until you have trained India, and the short train ride inspired me! I will have pictures as soon as I get them! SO I have been SICK AS A DAWG! I got food poisoning Friday and I have been near to death ever since. I Finally went to the hospital yesterday. I am feeling a bit better! What else has happened?? I went to the Bridal Saree market. OMG they are so beautiful, and to think that they make them all by hand. WOW. I want all of my wedding party in dresses made by these people! Well this is going to be a short blog, because I am feeling like I am going to be sick! Ciao

I never want to come Home.

I never want to come home!
I never want to go home! I love it here so much! This is totally carnal but I love the way that I am treated here! It is all VIP! The last couple of days have been a blast! Sunday was church, and it was so awesome. These people have such a love for God even though it is not a CLC, crazy, totally on fire church, they truly love Jesus. Monday Ishta and I went all over Delhi looking for tutors. It was a lot of fun to see all of the city. This city is HUGE, and so dynamic. There are so many different sides to Delhi. Slums/mansions, markets/ huge metro malls! I love it So Monday we were in this building that was under construction. Ish and I got onto a lift, and I was a bit freaked out by the operator. He was chuckling and had a super sketchy expression on his face.. One of a psycho chain saw murder killer on downers. I told him that I needed to go to the 2nd floor and he presses 2, thus taking me to the basement.. I naturally kind of freaked out and said 2nd story 2nd story! So he laughed and pressed 0. So we got to the main floor and I was a bit freaked out, and then the electricity went out Survival instinct kicked in and I totally freaked out! Then the electricity came back on and the guy was laughing really hard!! Freak machine Wow, so that night we went to dinner at this Arabian place. It was so awesome. We met a few of Ishtas brothers friends from Morocco and Syria. They were extremely friendly and so fun! They invited me to Morocco.. Very tempting. I also ate at Mc Donalds! I got a veggie burger, because that is all they have! I think God created India just for me! Tuesday Ish and I took an auto to an area called Green Park and got Pedicures! 90* for a pedi.. that is under $2.00! It was seriously the best pedi I have ever gotten in my whole life. They really cared about what they were doing, unlike the china man places in the mall! Haha.. maybe I am just paying for what I get, but I like paying 90* vs. $30. Tuesday night was Bible study. It was great! There were two Hindu women that I had never seen, and our chauffeur came in. He is Roman Catholic. Wednesday we went to the Rwandan High Counselors house and went swimming. The pools here are so wonderful. They are all marble and really big! That was a good day! I am starting to meet a lot of awesome people. Today I went to the shelter that I am starting to work at tomorrow. It is called Prayas. Visit the site; www.prayaschildren .org. It is a great place and is heavily endorsed by the US. In fact Laura Bush was at the facility earlier this month helping out. I am really excited about it! Next month I am going to start teaching at a homeless school in the slums. It is separate from Prayas, though Prayas is also a school. Prayas means new beginning. Then after that I came home and went with Ishtas brother to the Rwandan Ambassadors house to swim. That was amazing! An estate with 20ft. walls around it! It looked like the house on Ace Ventura. Funny comparison but that is what I thought of. It was amazing! The Ambassador was a total sweetheart! I am meeting the American Ambassadors son this weekend! AMERICANS>>>> I really dont care, but I guess it is nice to see white skin. These Indians are really really dark. Darker than black people! The ambassadors house was grand! OMG The walk to the pool was exquisite; one thing that is so awesome about Delhi is all of the gardens. There are wonderful gardens everywhere. The sidewalk to the pool was lined with palm trees all the way to the pool, which was far! The landscape was fantastic. It is crazy because here in India the staff manicures the lawn with scissors. It is funny to see people cutting grass.. Well I was supposed to go to a benefit play for Prayas tonight. I was very excited because the Prime Minister was there, but on the way home from the ambassadors casa our travels were halted due to a strike. People were in the streets fighting with sticks. This was quite a culture shock. I dont know exactly why they were striking, something about a water line. Something that didnt seem to be striking worthy to me! Well I am tired and I am going to hit the sac. Miss you all That is the only thing that totally sucks about it here, is the lack of family and friends! Ciao for now... Tkea*

India... At last!

India At Last!
I cannot believe I am here! It is so wonderful! I am not even really going through culture shock as every one thought I was going to face. I love it! The house i am staying in is wonderful. It is huge with air condition, toliets, windows everywhere, and marble. God really gave mercy to me! I am so excited about everything. I have such a love and burden for these people I never want to leave. Last night we had home bible studies, and the people were so passionate! This really excited me. They want to win every person in the 15million + city. It is awesome because I can hear the street vendors yelling.. I don't know why that is awseome. I guess maybe because it is so much different than everything that i am used to. Yesterday I was sitting on my balcony and I came to the conclusion that I am going to be a missionary. I have no desire to go back to the states. This may change after a while, but I really do not think so. It has sparked this adventurist side of me that if you know me, you know that it was already a prominent side of my personality. Adventure brings out everything that I am! I love it. I love how the women dress. Today i am going to get sari's.. Isha and I are going to try to learn Hindi, because there is hardly any english spoken here. Well tata..ciao

I have the life.

Wow I have the life. Today I woke up at 11am and rode my bike to the wonderful beautiful Ocean Beach! It was the best day ever. I am on spring break. I have to live on the beach someday soon! I am exhausted after a really long day at the beach and then dinner in SeaPort Village. I am watching the Jeff Foxworthy show and waiting on everyone to get back from the movies. This has been a great break. I have desided that I am only going to go to CLC for one more semester, beacause I cannot live there much longer, and stay sane.. I am going crazy. I can not believe that they are so set on proving themselves that they focus on the most petty things. I am sick of thigs like this.. and I do not want to go back. I wish I could just move down here. I do not have much down here. I wish I could just figure everything out NOW! I do have a long time to get my life in order though. The other night I was really thinking about everything, and I talked to Justin for awhile about things, and It made me realze about myself. Oh well I am going to watch Friends!! Ciao... By the way my spring break has been AWESOME!

Weird little Poem.

Sensational Penetration
In the absence of fear
Frustration leads to invigoration
Complication into Abomination
When will this Isolation End
And become the Insulation to my Soul
Saturation of the Heart transitions into Illegitimate Hope,
This beats the Incandescent feelings of Exhilaration
And Uninhibited Infatuation
Just a weird little poem i wrote last night... take it how you will!

Fly Me to the Moon

Fly me to the moon Some times oh how I wish I could just Go Away. I am in Theology of the Church, and I am kind of bored. Uhh Lala I want a far away place a place that is so far away. No one that knows anything about me/my kind. I had a dream a few nights ago. I dreamt that, I was doing my laundry naked outside of my dorm. I didnt realize that I was naked until Vanessa C. text me and told me. I looked over and She, Gary David, and Micah Johnson were in the car next to me. Gary was gagging, and that really upset me. So I covered myself and ran towards my room. I ran through mud and go all dirty. Anyways, As I ran up the stairs Jake Palma was just chilling by my room. I was so embarrassed. I covered myself and apologized. I interpreted my dream, and there are so many weird meanings. Like Me doing Laundry out side shows that, my life is exposed. Me suddenly realizing that I m naked means that I have a sexual tension and I am hiding something. I dont know of anything I am hiding. I guess I may be able to see the tension. Then the mud isI really can not remember. Then my embarrassment shows that I want to impress people. I guess I want to impress the student senate. I do not know. I do know that a friend, Bali, and waking up at 3pm everydayAnd people will sing, Aint no sunshine when shes gone. Aint no sunshine when she is gone, and she is always gone to long, any time she goes away I can not wait for the day when a am so gratis. My family will give up hope that I will be home for Thanksgiving I will say to many nights of adventure to lie without. I want to see every world wonder. I want to be the wildflower that is love. I want to be educated in many fields. I will not have to stay in one place for any longer than I want. I know that may be irresponsible of me, but I am the rain. I come from one place or source, and fall everywhere. I want ski Switzerland on the 3rd, and in Africa working with Red Cross on the 20th. I want to publish multiple volumes of my experience, and the lack there of. I want to always be happy. I want love to always be the most active thing about my life. I want, Passion to control every thought. I want to backpack Tibet and understand the meaning of perfect peace and harmony. As for my lover, I want a man to totally love every imperfection that makes me unique. I want a guy that will laugh at my jokes. I want someone who will simply hold me, and make my world stop turning with a mere touch. Someone that will love my grandmother, and listen to all of her stories of old. He will want to ride motorcycles with my pops. I also want someone who acts just like my dad. My dad is one of the most noble men on this planet, and I want to love someone with all of the same character traits. I want to be urban but still have the inner country bunckin mentality. Audra Rochelle Frederick- Noble Little Rock Dr. Segraves just told the meaning of his name. Daniel- Judged by God!! He said it kept him sober. Haha I love Dr. Dan! Caleb means dog. You know what else I want?! I want to be a size 2 for the rest of my life. Your so vain, I bet you think this song is about youyour so vain! I LOVE LIFE I really do I think that if I did not live a life of adventure I could live, but it is not me. I only ask of life one thing, and that is happiness. I will have happiness if I have God, passion and love. So go on girlget down and fly me to the moon.
