Numero Uno

I’ve never done a blog page before. I always thought they were a bit self-gratifying, a little self-righteous, and self-glorifying. I still think they are. But, I have failed miserably at consistently keeping a journal that has ever been of more merit or depth than merely brushing over normal day-to-day occurrences. Perhaps this blog page will be a new motivation to write more productively and with more thought.

Also, when it comes to keeping in touch with people I falter and fail. Hard. Man, I’m bad. I owe apologies to just about every one of my friends at some point or another and many of my family members as well. But now, this blog page at least gives me an alibi. Sorta kinda. Perhaps this blog will be a way of keeping people informed of where I’ll be and how things are going, at least for the summer.

I haven’t had a lot of experience reading personal blogs and I’m not really an Internet surfer – unless it’s about where to travel to next. I have read travel blogs that have been really informative, insightful, and helpful. On a recent trip to the Philippines with Jasmeen we got a lot of inside tips on things to do and how to get around more easily. Travel blogs can be a very valuable travel tool. I reckon I’ve used them enough that it’s time that I add my own two cents for it may be valuable to someone else.




Oh yeah, a new gadget gift, from Jeff and Jodi – dear fam – has motivated me to 1) take pictures and to 2) share those photos. Thanks gang. With that said, blog one is over. Enjoy the summer! I’ll be traveling to Philly, to Charlottesville, to Southwest Virginia, to Raleigh, to Long Beach, to La Paz, to Oruro, among other places. Check out the page when you can and please give feedback if what I write impels you to!

And remember, the REVOLUTION will NOT BE TELEVISED!
