Romania Part VIII
03:17 P.M. 07/26/03 Detroit
10:17 P.M. 07/26/03 Romania
We went to the girls home today. It is the home of the girls that came to see us Tuesday. It really makes you thankful for what you have. It was a mess. The conditions were awful. I know the owners mean well, but don't have the money to do more than feed, house, and barley clothe them. I had to use the bathroom, and it was a shack in the backyard, with a cement floor, and four square holes in the cement. No toilets. Next time you use the bathroom, be thankful for a toilet.

Romania Part VII

10:14 P.M. 07/25/03 Romania
We went to Chow-Chess-Choos Palace today. I have know idea how to correctly spell his name. Chow-Chess-Choo was the Communist Tyrant that kept the Romanians repressed until his over-throw in 1989. He had wanted his palace to be the largest building in the world, but it is 10 feet smaller then the Pentagon, making it the second largest building in the world. The people that lived on the spot that it was to be built were given only 48 hours to re-locate. He was a very, very bad man.

Romania Part VI

10:40 P.M. 07/24/03 Romania
Events of 07/22/03:
I woke up today at 06:00 A.M.
They brought some girls the age 15-25 to Casa Sholom today. They were a ruff bunch.
Some of them looked like boys. Some of them were mentally handicapped.
There was one mentally handicapped girl, about the age of 23, with wild eyes, hair that looked like it had not be cut or brushed in a long time, and she was hunched over the whole time and kept looking behind her. She look like the picture of someone who was demon possessed, although I do not think she was.
Another girl there had gotten gang raped buy her uncles last month and is pregnant, and thinks she has sypoluois.
We had an alter call to get saved and a lot of them respond and the Spirt moved and everyone was crying.
Events of 07/23/03:
I went to bed last night at 11:30 P.M. and woke up at 6:00 A.M. 06:30 hours of sleep.
I did get a nap today from 03:00 P.M. to 06:00 P.M.
The same girls from the girls home came back today. We took an alter call to receive the Holy Spirit and the wild eyed girls was get prayed for by Vali, a 5 year old with a stealing problem, and the wild eyed girl had a huge smile on her face.
After we feed them dinner and there is one girl who is really attractive and a Christian, she loves J'Lo. Anyway she asked my age an I told her 30, and she said a 30 year old was not to old for her. I avoided her after that.
Events of 07/24/03:
I went to sleep last night at 12:45 A.M. and woke up at 6:00 A.M. 5:15 hours of sleep.
My roommate Patrick moaned in terror during his sleep last night and scared the crap out of me. I woke up and did not know where I was, and did not know who was in trouble.
Boy the dramas we did today were a MESS.
We went to a mall today. Boy, everybody is SO trendy and fashionable. I stuck out like a turn in a punch bowl. I played House of the Dead II in the arcade. There was one video game with a topless woman in it. I bought a ant farm. There was only one Bible in Romanian in the book store, and no copies of Dracula in Romanian. In Romania you have to pay for ketchup at McDonalds.
It was raining outside on our walk to the mall. I was basically acting like a Jack Hole, and when I was done waved at some girls in a phone booth to get out of the rain, and they blew me kisses.
On the way back I entertained everybody with pirate jokes.

I went to bed at 12:30 A.M. on the 18th/19th and had to get up at 6:30 on the 19th. 6 hours of sleep.
I had tripe soup. It was good. I did not finish it all because I ate a really hot pepper and it put my taste buds off.
We went to a farm to day. It was really poor. We did some dramas for the kids in the area. We gave them candy and toys. I ripped my pants right down the butt during a drama. This is actually the SECOND time in my life that has happened while acting.
I did take a small nap today.
Events of 07/20/03
I woke up at 6:00 A.M.
We had church this morning at the same farm we went to yesterday.
For lunch I orded Beef Brains in Black Butter, but the resurant was out.
We had church in the evening at the hall Paster Mike uses for the coffee house. I gave my testimony in church and it sucked.
After church we drove to Bucharest.
Events of 07/21/03:
We went to Casa Sholom today. This is the our base of operations while ministering in Bucharest. It is a home children in need of a home. But it is not an orphanage. The children live there until they are ole enough to live on their own. It is funded buy a church in Germany. It is really nice.
We did some drama's and had like a vacation bible school type service for them. Then I was told I was going to teach them some dramas after lunch. I had nothing prepared!!! But the girl that wanted to learn drama paid close attention to the ones we did and basically taought themselves. They are teenage girls that are interested in learning drama.
All the kids are real affectionate.

Romania Part IV
04:01 P.M. 07/19/03 Detroit
11:01 P.M. 07/19/03 Romania
I am in Targoviste, Romania.
We are working with a Pastor Mike, his name is pronounced ME-HI, but the English equivalent is Mike.
He rent out the hall on Fridays and uses it as a coffee house. Then he has the local youth display there talent at drama or dance or singing or whatever. It seems like a great ministry.
I tried talking to some of the kids, but communication was hard. There was one of them that spoke a little English, but not much. They all told me how many girlfriends they had. I need them to give me some pointers. Boy, everyone LOVES Eminem here.
The Coke here tastes different. Coke also has a billboard ad with a nude womans butt. Its kind of surprising.

We had out layover in Germany. It was only about an hour.
I had German Coffee which is our Espresso. Boy was it good. Real Smooth. Better than Deebe's espresso.
My right ear seems to be doing better on this flight. It killed me on the way down on the last flight.
I got up at 12:00 P.M. on the 17th, Detroit time. I will be very tired before I get to sleep again.

I had wanted to update my dead journal before I left, but my bloody internet service was down.
I am now in the are to Germany for a layover, then to Romania. My right ear is pretty air tight and it is popping sporadically and it hurts.
There is turbulence on this flight, which I find comforting. But it makes it hard to wright.
I am tired.

I had some "sort of" pasta for dinner. It really was good for airline food.
I am flying Lufthansa Airline. They are showing "Agent Cody Banks". It looks like a three finger movie, which is surprising. I haven't taken my headphones out of the bag yet.
I read some more of Frankenstein, and dozed a little.
I kinda wish I had bought and brought a GameBoy Advance. I am a little bored.
I am also hungry. They will be serving us breakfast before we land in the next three hours.

Camp Blood
I bought my computer for $25 and it acts like a $25 computer. That is why I have not updated this week. Last week I was a consoler, or "Camper Buddy" and a camp for abused children. I hate the use of sinanims like this. I hate that Vince McMahon make wrestlers refer to themselves as "WWE SuperStars" and I did not like that I had to refer to myself as a "Camper Buddy". That is not to say that I do not intellectually see why the decision was made to do this. We wanted to campers to see us as friends and not baby sitters. So even thought I can see and even agree with the reasoning behind it, my flesh still doesn't like it. I guess I have problems.
The camp was great. Fantastic. I can not wait until next year to do it again. I believe I would do it full time if I could. I wish I would have wrote a journal when I was there, but really I probably would not have found the time to do it.
I leave for Romania on Thursday. I will be taking a Journal to write in there. When I went to the Philippines I wished I would have done that.
I will be having Sushi for breakfast tomorrow. Yea.
