The World According to Seven Grey

My view of the world, of reality, and everything around me is tainted by my own philosophical beliefs of 7ism. This site is dedicated to a written editorial of my experiences over the years and current observations of the world around me.

Earth’s Only Truly Immortal Creature

by admin on Feb 1, 2011 • 3 Comments
Earth’s only immortal creature looks startling familiar, having a striking ressemblence to Avatar’s small floating creatures know as the ‘Seeds of the Sacred Tree of Eywa.’ On earth, these creatures live in the oceans and are classified as a type of jellyfish known as the turritopsis nutricula. Like most jellyfish out there,...

Reviews: Denver WiFi Coffee Shops

by admin on Jan 31, 2011 • No Comments
Why do you go to a coffee shop? Is it for some unique flavor of imported coffee, just to use free WiFi while sipping coffee, or is it for the ambiance? For me, it is not so much about special flavors of coffee; it is more about finding a place...

Driving an Ambulance in High School

by admin on Jan 27, 2011 • 1 Comment
What kind of car did you drive in high school? My first car, which I obtained late in my junior year of high school, was a 1969 Cadillac ambulance. My father bought it for me from a used TV shop in Grand Junction, Colorado. I thought it was a blast...

Warcraft Addiction

by Seven Grey on Jan 8, 2010 • No Comments
I admit, I’m addicted to Warcraft. I have never really played computer games, or even the so called ‘console games.’ Computer style games have never been my thing. I’m in love with chess and strategy more than quick reflexes. However, just prior to Warcraft being released to the public, the...

Buying a Refrigerator from CraigsList

by Seven Grey on Jan 6, 2010 • 1 Comment
The advent of craigslist (online classifieds), has made buying and selling local goods and services remarkably easy. Recently I decided to shop for, and buy, a used stainless steel refrigerator on craigslist. I am a huge fan of craigslist and buy and sell many items there. However, sometimes things don’t...

I am a huge fan of movies as well as books. It’s often hard for me to choose between reading a good book or watching an awesome movie; I find equal vlue in both. With movies, I enjoy at multiple levels: stunning cinematography, great special effects, riveting plot, quality acting,...

Guatemala Easter Traditions

by admin on Apr 22, 2012 • No Comments
 Semana Santa Easter is commonly referred to as Semana Santa in Guatemala. The words literally translate as semana = week and santa = holy or sacred, or together they really mean ‘Holy Week’. And in Guatemala this term means the week prior to and including Easter, but also is loosely used to define the six...

Guatemalan Bathrooms 101

by admin on Apr 1, 2012 • 1 Comment
Many first time tourists to Guatemala are confused by several features of Guatemalan bathrooms. Typically they are frustrated by cold showers, clogged toilets and have questions like, “where is the hot water knob?” I have been living with a Guatemalan family for about five months now and think I’ve figured a few things out. Hopefully,...

Drinking Urine in Guatemala

by admin on Mar 18, 2012 • No Comments
I didn’t do it, but I’m intrigued by the idea. This last week I was in my Spanish class and talking to my instructor about the art of medicine in different cultures. My instructor has issues with migraines and some occasional stomach issues. That was when she brought up that many Guatemalan’s believe drinking urine...

Sleeping in a Pyramids at San Marcos

by admin on Mar 17, 2012 • No Comments
Want to sleep in a pyramid? You can do it at San Marcos. Recently I went to Lake Atitlan which is the largest inland body of water in Guatemala. It is a big lake in the crater of a huge volcano surrounded by a handful of towns. I spent my first night in San Marcos...

No Easter Bunny or Egg Hunts in Guatemala

by admin on Mar 13, 2012 • No Comments
Forget hiding and finding eggs on easter when in Guatemala. But, as a trade off, you get to smash an egg on top of a friends head wishing them prosperity and good luck. Easter is one of those interesting holidays which has evolved over the last couple thousand years from the celebration of Spring and...

Lanquin and Semuc Champey Guatemala

by admin on Feb 25, 2012 • No Comments
Zephyr Lodge Lanquin One of the best and most amazing places I’ve ever stayed is Zephyr Lodge in Lanquin. It was almost a polar opposite to my experience in Rio Dulce. The staff at Zephyr are more like your favorite bar tenders. They were entertaining and ultra friendly. The lodge is perched at the top...

Casa Perico is about 10 minutes by boat from Rio Dulce Guatemala. We took a small launch to get there and arrived in the afternoon. The Lodge itself is beautiful and quant. The whole place is suspended on poles about three feet above the mud and ponds of the swamp land of the river. The...

Boat Trip to Rio Dulce

by admin on Feb 14, 2012 • No Comments
You never know with boat trips from one city to the next. More often than not thy are horrifying experiences where you spend most of the ride puking into plastic bags (i.e. from the main land to Utila). The boat ride from Livingston to Rio Dulce is almost the polar opposite; it is a smooth...

Livingston Guatemala

by admin on Feb 12, 2012 • No Comments
Perhaps I didn’t give Livingston a fair chance. I really enjoyed getting there on the little boat with my luggage thrown in front (I kept wondering if it would fall out after a large wave). Livingston is unique in Guatemala in that it’s population is a mix of mix of Garífuna, Afro-Caribbean, Maya and Ladino...
