Bonus Blog

Since I have a few minutes, in addition to the week's update I'd like to include a few interesting notes/observations/facts about my new life...

1) I'm living in an apartment that is one half of a duplex. Both apartments in the duplex are of equal size and are alike in every way. I am the only one living on my side. I haven't gotten an exact count on the number of people in the family living next door to me, but I'm pretty sure it's somewhere around 15. No joke.

2) Every morning I wake up to the sound of birds and cows and the sight of my neighbor's little naked African children running around outside. Every...single...day. It's interesting, though, they only run around naked in the morning. I guess if I had a choice that's the time I would choose to run around naked, too.

3) On Sunday afternoon I watched about five hours of WWE professional wrestling, including two separate five-man every-man-for-himself "No Way Out" steel cage matches. After said matches I had a lengthy discussion with various members of the Namumu staff where we broke down the strategies and tactics of each wrestler. What a day...
