Azerbaijan

It's important to know where Azerbaijan is....of course.  Maybe being able to spell it would be even more impressive...then say....multiplying fractions, or knowing why we'd use a two tailed test in particular statistical study. (Yes I am still chewing on that).

I used to travel to places I thought would be cool to be from, or to live and have a home address.

I have fostered, for countless years, a keen desire to have a street address on Embarcadero; just because it is fun to say the word. It rolls out like the fog obscuring the Golden Gate Bridge. I could envision me standing at the window just watching the progress of that fog, sipping a favorite vintage wine. My lips relishing the feel of the wine while saying Em-bark-ah-dare-oh.

The same is true with the city of Budapest. Not just because it is like one of the oldest city in Europe, or that it has been run over by so many invading tribes that no one can claim they're family is actually "FROM" there. Yeah, a city of mutts. But sound it out..Bu dah pest...yes, another fun word.

Here is where I really go nuts

Belarus...sounds so frontier, so untame, and that'd be true, they just celebrated the acquisition of their first milk carton making factory.

 My adopted dream place to live is Barcelona.  For all those romantic reasons that matter to me; from being ancient and well established before Rome  was an empire whose appetite set eyes upon it; by the sea  framed by the pleasant rolling landscape, almost a fairytale selection.  But consider the sound of it.  Bar-sah-lone-ah; makes you smile just to hear the syllables tickling your ears. Yes it is enticing to say the least.

Then if I were sick, I'd go to Ukraine, probably because it’s a slant rhyme with complaint, and let’s face it when we’re sick we’ve plenty to annoy us. I learned that term in creative writing. Just as this mental wandering would be considered prose; no point, no structure to be concerned with, no rhyme

so perhaps I should write Iran....out of time
