update

  I haven't had a substantive post/ legitimate update for a while. So folks, to assuage the certain guilt that I feel for not doing so, here is a real update.

- I'm having my first taste of visa nightmare tonight; why do these Australians make it so complicated to get a visa? Seriously, it's not encouraging cash inflow via tourism in any ways. I really don't get the logic behind making the visa application process so long and painful. I mean, how harmful are Canadians, really? How many terrorist and other malignant types have come out of gun-lovin', war-fightin, and all in all big meany Canada... seriously folks.

- Why exactly am I applying for a visa? well, cus I've quite school for a term, and will be off to Australia and mysterycountry to do missions for 6 months. The prospect of going to YWAM excites me more than anything in my recent life.

- And why exactly am I going to YWAM? Well, I need to find myself and realign my perspectives. I don't think I'm half the Christian man I used to be (on a side note, I am about 15lbs more than the physical man I used to be...late night chicken wings at QP). I've turned bitter and lost focus. I stopped thinking about the things and started thinking too much about the things of this world...

- currently in Monterey, CA. It's quite beautiful here, calm and peaceful. It reminds me of Taitung, but more refined. Far more refined.  And cultured.

- I wouldn't mind living in San Jose in the future. It's fast becoming one of my favorite cities.

- If you want to support me with money or prayer... Yay. Here's a virtual hug. And some props.

- Gonna be in Taiwan in around 10 days

And that is all for tonight, folks.
