A Crux of Contradiction: Of Future Plans and My Lack Thereof
http://nathanlee-leavemebe.blogspot.com/2009/02/of-future-plans-and-my-lack-thereof.html
A Crux of Contradiction. Monday, February 23, 2009. Of Future Plans and My Lack Thereof. At this very moment, or at the moments just previous to my writing of these very words, I am, or was, really, planning my upcoming trip to Copan Ruinas. Honduras, where I am going to meet my friend Blair. Blair is in Copan working to set up an after-school program. The problem is, I don't really know how I'm going to get there. I have options, sure, but like with many other things down here that really do require...

A Crux of Contradiction: Black Jesus
http://nathanlee-leavemebe.blogspot.com/2009/03/black-jesus.html
A Crux of Contradiction. Thursday, March 19, 2009. Continued from last post: Esquipulas. So after having so much great fun in Copán looking at old stuff, my comrades and I made our way to Esquipulas, Guatemala, on pilgrimage to the Cristo Negro. We left early Saturday morning, and arrived before noon. When we got there, there was already a very long line of pilgrims to see the unique sculpture. Basilica at Esquipulas, monument blocking view, and line. My party ate at Pizza Burger twice: once for dinner, ...

A Crux of Contradiction: Wanderlust and my Lack of Repentance Thereof
http://nathanlee-leavemebe.blogspot.com/2009/03/wanderlust-and-my-lack-of-repentance.html
A Crux of Contradiction. Friday, March 6, 2009. Wanderlust and my Lack of Repentance Thereof. What do I, an arcwelder, and a self-proclaimed Central American celebrity named Saul have in common? We all shared the bed of a little white on-site KIA pick-up truck from La Entrada to Copán Ruinas, Honduras. How did we find ourselves in this rare occasion of comradery? We used our thumbs. Well, except for the arcwelder. It was already in the truck. Saul Molina Calderón: Entertainer. While in Copán, I was pleas...

A Crux of Contradiction: I'm not there
http://nathanlee-leavemebe.blogspot.com/2009/01/im-not-there_10.html
A Crux of Contradiction. Saturday, January 10, 2009. Well, here I am. I am in El Salvador. Again. I was here for nearly four months, going home for December for Christmas, the New Year, my father's wedding: you know, the usual. I returned to my home here down south just a week ago. You may be thinking: What is young Nathan doing in El Salvador? You wouldn't be the first. I must admit, I've even often caught myself thinking the exact same thing. I know, right? 161;Viva la revolución! Note: the flyer inclu...

A Crux of Contradiction: To go...
http://nathanlee-leavemebe.blogspot.com/2008/04/to-go.html
A Crux of Contradiction. Tuesday, April 1, 2008. To always be moving in the direction of a never-setting sun is a beautiful thing. To be driving with no ulterior motives; to reach a goal; to see the sun finally set over an ever-stretching horizon separating only sea and sky. To go: how wonderful. We saw antelope grazing the plains. We need to take as much as we can out of life everyday - no just when we're going places. We're always going places. We're always seeing things we've never seen before.

A Crux of Contradiction: Soybean Fields, Pipe Smoke, and Roman Candles
http://nathanlee-leavemebe.blogspot.com/2008/07/soybean-fields-pipe-smoke-and-roman.html
A Crux of Contradiction. Sunday, July 6, 2008. Soybean Fields, Pipe Smoke, and Roman Candles. But then I started looking out the window. I mean really. Looking. I began to see things formed by the rows and rows of soybean plants, a kind of zoetrope. I found a dragon in my pipe smoke, but I was not scared. He flew for me until he became sky; then space; then stars. I'll look for your racing cowboy the next time I pass a soybean field. 08 July, 2008 17:27. 13 August, 2008 11:52. What are you looking at?

A Crux of Contradiction: Coolest Dream Ever? Maybe.
http://nathanlee-leavemebe.blogspot.com/2009/01/coolest-dream-ever-maybe.html
A Crux of Contradiction. Friday, January 30, 2009. I had one of the most vivid dreams last night that I've had (and remembered) in a long time. The setting was futuristic and most likely post-apocalyptic. Old cars and discarded metals were strewn about in all directions, and the skies were dark at the peak of the day. In fact, it was very much like that of the post-apocalyptic world seen in the future scenes of Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. You guessed it: zombie predators. No, not predators.
