8.25.2003it's the final countdown
ah! 9 days to go!! shit, dude... (not sure who i'm calling dude, but i guess it's you if you're reading this). i am kind of freaking out right now, because i, well, i don't know why i'm freaking out but i am. in a good way, though. i think. i'm guessing that the reason i'm going crazy might have to do with the fact that today i will be in new york and philly from 8/26-8/30, and i still have lots of stuff to do. but, it's ok. i am really looking forward to visiting my sister at school in new york, and i'm psyched to see everyone when i get to philly. on a completely unrelated note, if anyone has any spare $100 bills laying around that they don't want, please feel free to send them my way... also, i have a laptop now, so hopefully i can get it wireless internet ready so i can update my website and add pics to it while i'm away. more news as the butterflies increase in number...
8.11.200323... 22... 21...
well, it's only 23 more days before i leave for europe. how crazy is that shit?!? ok, maybe not crazy to you, but i think i am insane. i finally bought myself a backpack, so i am psyched about that. i also have rooms booked in prague, vienna, and munich, so i will be ready for oktoberfest (which will happen to coincide with my birthday). if anyone has any suggestions, recommendations, or any other useful information that you'd like to throw my way, go ahead and e-mail me. i'm still in the process of trying to figure out what kind of rail pass i should get, which is not easy considering i have so many places to go, and there is quite a bit of conflicting information on the internet. oh well, i'll get it straightened out soon. anyway, i guess there isn't a whole lot of shit for me to put up here right now, seing as how most of this month is anticipatory (my big word for the day... thank you...). hopefully i will have some more to say later on this week.
8.02.2003it's alive... ALIVE!!
well, this is the beginning of my new homepage. and this is my blog. not that anyone is going to read this, or find it of interest, but hey, why not write this anyway...
first and foremost, a very big thank you to marcello for setting this up and hosting it. on to other news... i am going to europe in a month. i will be there for two months. i am going by myself. i am very excited, although, i have to say growing a little bit more terrified every day. several things are really intimidating to think about. first there's the money issue (as in, it's going to cost a lot and i don't know if i have enough). second, there's the fact that i speak one language fluently (english, duh) and one language where i can ask someone if they like red shoes (te gusta las zapatas rojo?) and not much else. well, ok, i know a little bit more spanish than that, but still... as scared as i am about the uncertainties of what lies ahead, my apprehension is minute and my anticipation fierce. every conscious thought i have seems consumed by the queries, "where will i go? when i will i go there? what will i do when i get there? where will i sleep? eat? shower? who will i meet? what's the best way to get to the next place?" it's a seemingly endless parade of questions that grows exponenitally in response to each previous, currently unanswerable one. actually, parade would be a bad description since it's nearly impossible to organize my thoughts. if i were to diagram the organization of these thoughts it would look more like a half-assed 8th grade science project of the solar system, with wire coat hangers and pipe cleaners sticking out all over the place and the sun, moons, and planets all roughly the same size, shape, and color. unfortunately, i have come to the disheartening realization that i will have to return my kick-ass computer that i recently bought. the $1000 that i will get back is essential for my trip. so, for a while, i am stuck with this horrendous piece of scrap metal that i reluctantly call, "my computer." expect my blog to be an oft used medium while i am away on my trip (so you can live vicariously through me, or just find out some cool shit that europe has to offer, or to just hear about how fucking stoned i was in amsterdam...). i will also be trying to update my site and add some more writings, pics, and links to it as soon as possible. thanks for stopping by and reading my first entry in the blog. and don't forget to sign my guestbook! -jon
