Pushing "Play"

I paused my writing, not because I don’t love and adore both of my followers, but because I had been swept away in a whirlwind of adventures and I had forgotten that I had started a blog in the first place. Please forgive me, although, I am sure it will happen again.

Updates on the workings of the world:

1. In Malaysia, everyone drives a scooter.

2. In Spain, wine is cheap and abundant; however, Sin Gluten food is only located in the supermarkets far from the resort.

3. In Gibraltar, seriously, beware of the monkeys.

4. The Big Sur Half Marathon, 13.1 miles, is much more pain and agony that it sounds like.

Updates on myself:

1. I have surrendered to the side-effects and have abruptly stopped all intentional intake of wheat, gluten, buckwheat, oats, milk, butter, eggs and cheese. (this leaves me with a diet of mostly cardboard and corn tortillas)

2. I will deploy in May 2011

3. I am still stunning and handsome. Evidence below,

sprinting to the finish line of the Big Sur Half Marathon 14 November 2010 for a time of 2hr 24 min 9 sec


Updates on my 2010 New Year’s Resolution:

Resolution 1: Publish a Short Story in a Literary Magazine. Status - Incomplete, will recycle for 2011

Resolution 2: Get a Full-Time (real) Job. Status - Incomplete, no longer relevant with looming deployment

Resolution 3: Take Down Christmas Lights. Status- Absence of proof is not proof of absence; therefore, I declare this a SUCCESS!

Resolution 4a: Army Physical Fitness Test score of 275. Status – Failure

Resolution 4b: Capture all Xbox 360 Achievement points for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Status- In progress.

1.5 out of 4.5, I declare 2010 a failure and am calling for a mulligan
