blog virgin

Ok...so.... This seems a bit like a one way conversation to me. Kindof self-indulgent feeling. The objective of my setting up this blog is to keep my friends and family posted as to my whereabouts while I'm off traveling during the next year and beyond. Right now I'm still in Shelburne, trying to justify the fact that I'm not working by telling myself that there's plenty of time for work, and even though it doesn't feel like it right now, my time wasteage opportunities are about to expire. I'm in a state of semi-denial about the fact that I'm leaving in 16 days, not because I dont want to go... just because I'm not really looking forward to the packing/going crazy trying to wrap up loose ends part of departure. Instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing (i.e. packing, visiting friends, cleaning, etc.) I've been spending impressive amounts of time watching bees pollinate flowers in my back yard. Sounds strange, but when you really watch them up close, it gives you a real respect for how amazing bees are. It did for me, at least. Anyhow, I'm going to stop writing because this is already starting to be embarrasing. It's easy to just spew stupid crap when there's no face in front of you pleading for you to just stop rambling and get to the point. The point is, I'll be posting stories/observations/ramblings on this page for whoever is interested in reading it, so keep checking back now and then.
