I was also using Google Buzz to share my blog on Google+, but recently this annoying notification banner has been being displayed on top of my gmail account…

Google Buzz is going away, but your posts are yours to keep.

So, I guess my blog will be read even less because most of the peoples that do read it only do so through facebook. Well if you ever feel the urge drop on by my site: Ashesthandust.com

Oh and on top of having a ton of photos that I need to share, I finally got a a Panasonic 20mm lens for my Lumix GH2 and it’s AWESOME! I was happy about the GH2 before, but now I’m ecstatic! I had the 14-140mm lens before but for me it’s now all about the 20mm. The 14-140mm lens was great when I was traveling India to get pictures of places like the Taj Mahal or the Himalayas, but for my style and wants the 20mm has it all. It’s compact, light, and super fast producing great pics with that shallow depth of field I have been craving.

Thanks for the help.

To be frank, India is perhaps the most maddening travel experience I’ve ever had (apart from that train station in Shanghai). Ever day seems to be a constant struggle and challenge. Struggles against sickness, transportation systems, constant hard bargaining, and many more culprits. The most irritating for me is actually just walking down the street because of cars, noise, pollution, begging, filth, etc…

But when asked “If I’m enjoying my time in India?” I have to answer with a resounding “Yes” even if that yes is going to be followed by a long list of complaints. I’m finding India to be perhaps some of the most rewarding travel I’ve experienced. Filling me with memories, some that are joyous and some that are less than joyful, and many life lessons. Also, it is one of the few places that helps, encourages, forces, or sometimes even tricks you into seeing the world in a different light.

So yes I’m loving my journey even if I’m constantly bitching about it

So as you can see some of the searches are rather what you would expect, like “thai massage phuket” or even “thai massage awesome”. But then things quickly move into WTF zone with stuff like “boys getting massage”, “korean butt massage”, “Swedish ladyboys”, etc….

At first I couldn’t understand how that was happening because I didn’t talk about swedish ladyboys or korean butt massages. Then I remembered that search engines look for matching words on a page and all those words are in the post, even if not necessarily right next to each other.

Funny stuff. I wonder if this post will get the same traffic now that it contains those same words.

I also have recently discovered that organizing ideas and thoughts into a coherent order on the internet is way more difficult than I have ever thought it would be.

Now posting distractions!
