final

this was not a decision that I had planned to take with this blog. however, it seems that my story here has ended, i have closed a chapter in my life, and now bigger things are ahead.

to me, my adventure from the past year was simply unforgettable, it was unique, it was genuine, and it deserves it own space.  while I will continue to blog, it will not be here, because I want everything that is here to remain whole.

this will be my last publication in -jet-

i want to thank everyone who has read this blog, the well wishes that I received, and for the time that you spent getting to know me.  this has been a special journey, since 2 september 2009, I have become a different person, and now a year on, I plan to take the lessons I have learned and go in new directions.  this is not a lowering of the sail, but merely a change in course for the changing winds.

i encourage everyone to follow my new space at http://pedestrianme.wordpress.com

fast forward to the past…

so I’m back in DC.

Its been a strange transition, more than anything its about picking up where I left off in the context of being a different person than when I left. thats going to be the challenge…and thats going to be what I’m working on for a while

i miss having fresh bread next door, smoke detectors are really annoying given my affinity for leaving things on the stovetop and subsequently starting a kitchen fire, however, this move hasn’t been all bad.  it is very nice to have food delivered to your door at 5am on saturday morning when you are in no condition to cook and NEED FOOD.

i’m so lazy right now and really feel no motivation to write.  i’m just checking in from my new little window on the world.  to the East I can see the World Bank, to the North I have the Spanish Embassy across the street (pure coincidence, but a nice token of remembrance).  i’m on a quiet street right off Pennsylvania Avenue, close enough to all the fun and far enough away to escape the crazies when I want.  I suppose life is pretty good…now I just need to find a way to avert the onset of winter…

GLO-BAL WARM-ING <clap-clap, clapclapclap> =D
