After spending two weeee! and @!*%# and sigh… and [insert heat-exhausted facial expression here] years in Burkina Faso, West Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer, I have returned to the United States with a respectable tan, a knowledge of the French language, and a distinct mission: To channel my thoughts and observations into blogerly form, hopefully in the spirit of good old-fashioned insight (and a little entertainment).
Background. In the two thousand sixth year of our Gregorian calendar I became a Peace Corps volunteer serving in Burkina Faso. Throughout the the two years, I wrote about my observations, my misadventures, and sometimes, I just threw words onto a screen (oftentimes with my eyes closed), hit submit, and smiled proudly at the virtual refuse I had contributed to cyberspace (this isn’t totally true).
Countless blog entries, a handful of gastrointestinal conflicts, and 425 plates of gravel/bug-ridden rice later, I returned to Colorado. That’s where I come in now. Um, again.
I’d write about my future, but that would be boring at worst and tragically presumptuous at best. So that’s me. Or at least, that is all I feel like writing about me at this time.
Enjoy.
