Past, Present, and Future

Greetings to all! Here's hoping everyone had a great holiday season, etc. I know I did. I realize it's been a long time since I posted on here...and that's mostly because, well, I'm no longer in Taiwan. So, allow me to summarize what's going on with life (and with the blog) in the past, present, and future.

Past

Immediately following a trip to Hong Kong with the parkour crew, I packed my life and belongings and departed Taiwan on December 14th. As you could guess, the departure was a very long, exhilarating, exhausting, sad, and happy event. I won't bore you with the details of my airport escapades, but suffice to say I made it home alive and well. Not surprisingly, many people have asked me, "Well, are you glad to be home?" and probably also not surprisingly, I answer "Yes and no...sad to leave but good to be home.", which is the truth. Taiwan and its people will always hold a place in my heart. I miss the food, my friends, my students, and many other things. But, as usual, I try to live in the now. Which brings us to the...

Present

The holidays are over. The guests departed, the friends off to school, the daily toil resumed. As for me, there's not much in the way to resume. I'm currently in the process of finding a job (my return to Best Buy is not progressing as I had hoped...I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, it's never so easy). Meanwhile, I've been reacquainting myself with my home and belongings while working on a few projects. I've also recently pledged myself to the volunteer fire department here in town. So, I look ahead to the...

Future

What lies ahead? It's probably best I don't know. However, there are a few plans and goals in the works. First of all, after I hopefully get a job, I'll be working up through summer, in the hopes of returning to IUP for the fall semester. Also in the hopefully category, I will soon begin training with the fire academy, so that I can get my firefighter credentials done. That should be interesting. I also have some more crappy music in the works, to be released online at a later date.

So, what will happen to this blog? It'll still be around. It has not yet reached its quota of uselessness. However, I think it will have to go through a title/template change :P It may not be updated as often anymore, but I'll still post here with various happenings, projects, rants, etc. Stay tuned, and keep your stick on the ice.
