Mira. Me llamo Joey Peso, y tres dias atras, compré una porcion de dynamita. Lo era fantastico. El precio estaba diez bolivianos, o 1.50 gringo mas o menos para el dynamita, amonium nitrate, y una fusa (tal vez un minuto larga) juntos. Estuvé en las minas cooperativas en Potosí, Bolivia. Minas que producen mucho plata todavia hoy dia. Despues mi grupo y yo salemos las minas, mi guida, se llama Jaime, me preguntó para la dynamita. Jaime lo preparó el substancia explosivo, y pusó la dynamita adentro una bolsita de ammonium nitrate, la misma cosa el una bomber usó en el Oklahoma City bombing. Usualmente amonium nitrate es usó para fertilizado, con plantas, jardins, y todas las cosas verde. En esto pelicula corta, Ustedes pueden ver yo, con un bomba de dynamita en mi mano, despues anadé fuego.

I felt like writing a bit in Spanish because of the intensive English I have been speaking as of late with Peace Corp friends. What I wanted to share in this entry was the recent opportunity I had to purchase dynamite. For 10bs or $1.50 I purchased a full stick from the miners market at the foot of Cerro Rico (rich Mountain) in Potosí, Bolivia. Since I have lost my mind and dont fully appreciate the fruits of my right hand, I opted for a video shoot with said portion of dynamite, fuse lit, in my right hand. The video clip* is composed with the grace of the ballet, and Jaime actually soiled himself in its undertaking. He actually asked me to buy him fresh underwear. For some reason, I was bereft of fear, and was just really giddy at having so much explosive maiming power at my disposal. It felt like wielding the trident of Zues. Im pretty sure Zues had a trident. But I will probably never hold dynamite again, rest assured Mom and Wes. Probably a lie. Saludos amigos! y Vamos Warriors y Seahawks!!!!

*I have now tried in vain to upload the video of lit dynamite in my anxious fingers numerous times. I honestly suspect youtube is denying the video due to its potential connection with terrorist activity. If I can get it up, (no pun intended) you will see the clip soon. Until then Paz playaz.
