After an exhaustive template search, I think I may have actually made a decision. Imagine that. It was worth it, too, wasn't it? Did you not arrive to my impressive home page and raise your eyebrows in admiration. Complicated, yes? Professional, no? I'm unqualified for this level of genius, to be honest. All I did was search for free layouts and spend a shameful amount of time clicking through galleries. College education be damned. Someone else will learn HTML- I'm going to read "The Fountainhead" again.
So: purpose. We all need purpose. Why should my web log be any different. Why, nearly a quarter century into my existence, have I again been overtaken by that yen to spill my guts to an anonymous internet public? Surely it's not without some kind of motivation; one doesn't just happen upon this website and immediately feel obligated participate: "Whoops. I tripped and started a blog. Guess I'll have to post on a regular basis and grow a following!"
Unlikely.
But stranger things have been known to happen.
In the short term, it's easy to defer to my impending sojourn to Peru for apt cause. Chances are, if you're following these entries from the beginning, that's why you're here in the first place. So no big surprises. For those of you who ARE surprised... By the way: I'm going to Peru. Hello.
In the long term? Who knows? Things are changing left and right. I've found myself with a lot to think about and to formulate... but with no real creative outlet. At least not in the sense that I used to have so many. Hell, I don't even have a commute anymore: an hour to muse in the Zen-like motionlessness of the 5-South at 6:30 in the morning. No such luck.
So here I am. Here we all are, in fact. It's been a while, so please be forgiving while I get into the swing of this whole thing again. There will be travel stories, photos, recommendations, and a hot mess of other nonsense coming your way in the weeks to come. And I hope to hear from you about all this madness! Please give me some feedback! Thoughts, questions, hopes and dreams, limericks and haiku. All are welcome.
