CHINA SUCKS!

It's been quite a few months and i apologize for the delay in posts. But, please, allow me to explain. I went to China on tour with the Carolina Ballet, 7 cities, 21 days, Swan Lake in full production. The reason that i have not posted is simple. This tour through China killed a small (or maybe large) part of my soul. Never in my life, have i been so demoralized, so depressed, so utterly helpless to change, or more importantly, better my situation in life. The tour was hell. Hell like i have never know and hell that i hope none of you ever have to know. Communism doesn't work. Lesson number one. It just doesn't. It sucks! COMMUNISM SUCKS!!! I could never have posted that from China as all posts are strictly censored and that sort of thing wouldn't have even needed a real person to be deleted. Red China is a scary place.

We were at the mercyh of Chinese producers who were responsible for meeting all of our needs, including shelter, food, water, reason, etc.... Very few of those needs were met by more than the least possible passable excuse for such things. I hate to say it, but i hate the country of China. I hate the way we were treated, like dogs, and i will never return to the country in any way, shape or form. NEVER! CHINA RUINED MY VISION OF ASIAN COUNTRIES AND I HATE THE COUNTRY FOR THAT.

I have a few good pictures from the first two days we were there, the only days we weren't working, of the great wall and the forbidden city. If i can bring myself to look them up and post them in the next few days i will. But realize, everytime i see a Chinese restaurant, i want to kill someone. I've never been so negatively affected by any any experience in my life.

China... I HATE YOU!

Merry X-mas to all of you. Hopefully my soul will find it's way back to my brain and body and i'll be able to write some poetry sometime in the next few months.

I love you all, unless you are China.
