The Culture Club is reborn!

In case any of you readers are concerned about my social life, or for that matter wonder what it is I do all the time, I will be posting some newsletters of 2 recent clubs, Culture Club and Come Dine With Me.

The Culture Club to be reborn!!!

"What is the Culture Club???" - you may ask?


Well, for those of you not fortunate enough to have previously participated, I shall provide a brief introduction - and no, this club has nothing to do with Boy George.


Our mission statement:
To gather a group of intellectuals, originating from all over the world, united by one common desire: to seek and understand new cultures through the arts, historical exhibits, music, and interactions with one another … and have a good time doing it!”

Of course in reality, we are merely a bunch of transient nomads feeling mildly guilty for spending the vast majority of our weekend time in either a) a posh restaurant b) the latest bar and/or club c) the local pub or d) hungover on the couch - buy hey, I believe the above sounds a bit more eloquent. And in all honesty, my main reason of doing this is because I feel we too often say let's do this / let's do that, but rarely plan (I am very guilty of this)


Sounds nice, but what do you actually do?

We will plan on an ad hoc basis any event that you desire…anything! [Must have some cultural / art impact - porn film watching only acceptable if in a foreign language]. This could range from museums / theatre / symphony, etc. We will then try to grab drinks / coffee / lunch afterwards to discuss our thoughts and feelings on the experience.


Do I need to be a member?

Yes. All applications must be submitted to Shannon Riley with a photo attached, nudes by men welcome (good-looking people only). Totally kidding of course - please invite whomever. I like to feel more popular than I really am. If you want someone else included, let me know and I will add them to my Culture Club Distribution list.


Can I make recommendations?

Please DO make recommendations - I will just start booking dates in and sending out emails with ideas when I do. If you can make it, great. If you cannot, no worries.
I don't want to participate. Just let me know and I will remove you from my distribution list.
You are such a dork! Yes, I know. And I am proud of that. Anybody read the latest edition to The Economist yet?

Disclaimer of liability
As with all American things, I would like to direct your attention to the following disclaimer of liability prior to your reading of this blog.

#1: Please be aware that I write these posts keeping in mind that others may read them, and therefore try (key word "try") to make them somewhat entertaining. Therefore, while it is all true, I tend to put a very sarcastic twist on most of it, as is my nature. So, please do not find any offense to the following posts. If you do, then maybe we shouldn't be friends.

#2: For those of you who know me well, I have the attention span of a three-year old child and a pinball machine for a mind. I apologize in advance if I jump from one thought and/or event to the next. Please bear with me.

#3: For those of you who don't know me well, I really am a nice person..or so some tell me. So I hope I do not come across a bit strong. But do you really want to read a blog with the following: Today I took an airplane to Costa Rica. The woman I sat next to on the plane was very nice. We had an interesting conversation. The rainforests we drove through to the place I was staying were very beautiful. I am teaching at a school in Costa Rica. The children I work with are really great. Get the point?

#4: Yes, I do work. But I don't think you want to hear about my typical day of waking up at 5:30am going to work, sitting in front of a laptop for 12 hours doing very boring things, going to the gym, and then going to bed..often in a lonely hotel room, now do you?

#5 My intention of these posts is not to brag about all the places I have been. Believe me, living a nomadic lifestyle is a bit exhausting and often times I am even envious of those friends who are a bit more settled with their homes, friends, families, significant other, etc. In the journey of life, there are many paths to follow, and it is a good thing we do not all take the same one. Always keep in mind, the grass is always greener on the other side.I am therefore not liable for any offense taken.I hope you enjoy
