forget the obligatory, "i know it's been a while." that may true, but i'm just not gonna say it. instead, i'll launch right into this post like it's what i've been doing all along for the past two years:

today marks day 19 of my civilianhood/unemployment. it's been a different ride than what i'd prefer, but my preference is an expendable reality. no matter what goes down in the next month, this is peru prep time, and i'm hoping i'll do better than just fritter the time away, and instead get serious about faith and life and service.

as far as introductions to the rest of an individual's known existence may go, this one is probably pretty sorry. however, i'm just warming up. i may move my thoughts elsewhere, but i've promised a lot of people that i'll keep a blog while i'm at the orphanage, so i need to start somewhere. here will suffice for now, and maybe longer. it's all up in the air, which is a kinda fun place to be.

peace.

gonna be in new orleans in less than twelve hours. pray for a good week.

peace.

not that anyone actually misses any of my deep insights that i used to post here, and not that any of my insights were actually deep, but just in case somebody misses them, and just in case they were deep, i'll let you know that pretty much all my deep thoughts from like the past year can be found on the plaidpanther forum in these threads:
