So I realize that I haven't updated in awhile. Quite awhile, that is - nearly six whole months, and it is honestly so hard to believe that those six months -- both so fleetingly short and unbearably long -- have passed. As I wrote while on the road, our journey was so much more than "the glories of...
A couple of days ago I read a Marine blog article titled the same as this one. Its taken from a Marine drill instructor who was posted where one of his trainees is posted. That trainee was the author of the article. His message was one of encouragement in relating what that term meant for him in the...
Dear Guardian Angel who follows me throughout India, Thank you for helping me out. You’ve been with me since the second I landed in Delhi back in August. It took me a while to figure you out, recognize your work and trust you, but now I do. Also, thanks for keeping an eye out on my favorite...
I I made it to Egypt, finally, and I survived the first 48 hours. I haven't really studied Arabic much since I graduated three years ago, but I am happy to report that apparently I know how to speak Arabic quite well. I won't be staying in Cairo. It is far too expensive to rent an appartment here in...

As promised, here is my full recap for VEGAS: Cheryl's Birthday edition!!! There is not much for me to personally say about the first night, which turned out to be a bust for me. We went to Drais and I prepartied with the infamous Gatorade with vodka combo (you CANNOT taste the alcohol, so it kind...
It may be a bit unrealistic to think you're going to see all of the murals in one day. I understand that tours are available, and one day when it isn't 110 degrees, I might just take one. Still, it's nice to linger over a work of art and just think on it a bit without rushing off to bag as many as...

Sometime in the 80’s "WHY ARE YOU HERE!" shouted Althea across a rooftop at a stranger who had just arrived. Althea, having been assaulted as a teenager, felt understood by no one and couldn’t live with the embarrassment anymore. She was going to dive off a building tonight. She wanted this...
I can say after having completed the drive to Miyagi Minshuku, that it is way further than I thought it would be, even after I began driving in earnest and stopped making stops, but I had another stop to make before I got there and that was the detour off the main road and then off the exit road, to...
I guess you thought that I would not talk about the black guys when they make mistakes. No such nonsense here! I talk about my own mistakes, because if I don’t, I cannot correct them. However, I do choose (very carefully) who I talk about my personal mistakes to. So it is with the issues that...
7.24.08 Somehow the end of my time in Paris slipped through my fingers but my fingers were not on this keyboard typing out the stories that made up that bit of time in my life. It’s hard to put words to it really, which is why I suppose I never bothered forcing myself to sit down to work it out on...
My First Post Seeing as I started my Xanga back in 9th grade with the help of my then best friend, Justin D. I think I will upgrade myself when I go to college. So what better way then to start with my blog on SPOP (orientation). =) Don't worry I'll still check back with Xanga, as I have some people...

Had a really sleepy start. Completely missed morning training since I woke up at 9.30 and training ends at 10 D: (And to think I slept at 10.30) Hardly did anything today, which I don't know, made me feel guilty since I promised and promised to mug really hard and I guess a little break suited me...

"Chicago sounds rough to the maker of verse. One comfort we have -- Cincinnati sounds worse." Heh. Some background: Hillary and I are friends from graduate school. We met when we were the first students to show up at orientation. It was bascially, "you're oddly punctual as well! We're going to make...
