Hi Marco
My first comment was to provide you with a quote from Mark Twain
'Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
You sign yourself Marco Polo, a great explorer by any count. You say you'd love to travel for 10 years, then go on to admonish a person who is doing what you admit you wish to do. (I think you are in denial of your own needs, here, and a little envious).
You open with a comment that Andy's writing is 'stupid and kiddish' then go on to write a run of stupid, kiddish comments, yourself.
Stupid
To suggest every man in his 40's should know Shenzen. Why? Do you know every city in the world?
Stupid
To say he must be 'really an ugly American.' Why? Do you have to be an ugly American to travel a lot?
I found this stereotype mind-boggling.
It is also the kind of 'kiddish' jibe six year olds use, in the school playground.
Stupid
To write Andy has no goal.
He has lots of goals-To provoke thought is one. He has definately got you to think-although it is at a low level.
To make money to travel, is another. He is doing that, too.
To be free, is another. He has been free to choose his own path.
Stupid
To suggest that somebody leave a life they enjoy to marry and have kids is perhaps the most foolish thing you write. Too many people rush into marriage without enough thought, look at divorce statisitcs. That leaves a lot of unhappy kids about.Marriage and children should be an enormous commitment. They are not goals to achieve, because everybody else is doing it.
Kiddish
Your frequent references to sh*t intrigue me. Freud would find you interesting. I think his anal stage is when a person is about 2-3 years old. You should have out-grown this by now and have been able to think of more mature metaphors.
You tell Andy to 'get a life.'
He has a life. An extremely interesting one which he chooses to share, a little with his readers.
If you read more of his blogs you would understand that he can be both philosophical and very clever with words, at times.
You, however, seem to have a problem with words. And no depth of thought at all. By your own admission you are not travelling as you would like.
I feel sorry for you.
