Ok, so I’ve put this ‘announcement’ off quite long enough. I was hoping to have a few answers before putting this out there, but perhaps it’s just as fun to let you all live in limbo with me. So for my next career trick I will be moving to… I’ve accepted a job working in…

Well, I deserve to have lost any reader loyalty that the 3 of you may have given me.  And ideally I would have been documenting the mind of one who returns to their home country after a year away… but for the most part it was a pretty depressing mindset.  No one wants to read…

Hello again world! I feel my life is too full to put on paper (or in this case, screen) sometimes. And right about now my mind feels like my desk looks, messy, full and completely unorganized. I’m almost positive that my personal to-do list hasn’t changed a bit in the last 2 weeks as things…

I’m afraid that I’m suffering from story overload from my trip this last week.  And I must be showered and ready for a birthday party far too soon.  So until I am able to write my good 5 page explanation of my experiences, here is a gem I found while shopping in Paraguay (which I…

Media withdrawls are just as strong as any other type of withdrawl.  Granted, I’ve spent weeks off facebook before, but usually due to being without a computer, internet, etc.  It’s completely different when your computer sits right next to you.  I’ve found myself staring at my background picture for far too long from time to…
