after a long hiatus, i have decided to resurrect this blog. more specifically i set out this evening to make a new blog only to realize that this url had been taken, leading me to believe that i had already created a blog, become tired of it (or just forgot) and abandoned it. so, i am going to breathe some life back into this withered shell of a weblog and hopefully keep it going again. as of this post, it will only be words but i soon hope to be connecting some photos to my blog as well.
