: well,

: everbody seems to tryin to write as complicated as possible.. ;)
: well may be it isnt complicate, but my upper-intermediate english isnt
: enough for the sentences there..

: i aint complaining, you're doin your best..

: i wonder what jason means when he is saying "I yearn for the little
: trappings of the external world, and for external self-distinguishment."
: and stuff like that.. ;)

: thanks anyways..

I guess we do tend to write colorfully from time to time. It makes things more interesting and descriptive, but it can certainly be difficult for a non-native english speaker.

Little Trappings: He means that he still has a strong desire for material posessions, the things that money can buy. I believe he was saying it bothers him that he still feels this need so strongly.

External Self-Distinguishment: He's trying to show others how different he is by the way he looks and acts, and the things he has.

Hope this helps.
