ePhrog

This blog, and its sister ephrog.blogspot.com are going to be merged into one gigantic, less emo blog.  There are dozens of reasons for this, but the primary one that answers most questions is: because I want to.

Fresh start and all that.  I’ve lost a lot that meant the world to me over these last few years, relatives, pets, alleged best friends, home, and I’m now at the point where I’m ready to scrap it all and move on.  There is a beginning in this ending, and I’m just now finding it.

When? Why, it’s in the works, that’s all you need to know.

I got bit by the travel bug again last week.  Plane flying over head, like I see every single day, suddenly reached into my chest and pulled out my heart.  London calls, and Iceland appeals.  Unfortunately, I’m pretty grounded for the next year or so due to a lack of funds. Paying off loans, persuing hobbies aside from travel, replacement for my college-aged & worn furniture all demand financial attention more than blowing a few grand to hear some people talk differently.

My back will thank me for a new bed more than my heart will thank me for standing in the middle of a train station trying to figure out foreign words.

I will miss my brother, Pete, probably from now until forever, but, he wasn’t the man I thought he was.  He has made his choice, and I won’t follow him down that road, now or ever.  Life rounds a corner, and who knows who I’ll travel with next.

I’m cautiously optimistic going forward, we’ll see how long that lasts ;)

One Peter and I shall be traveling to Belgium (’round Gent) for New Year’s and London for a week afterward.  Why? That’s simple - Sven bought a house, and because we can.

Sound reasoning as any.

I promise that this time ’round I’ll be way better at blogging >_>  You’ll at the very least get interesting pictures. :)

soon, very soon, I promise sorted pics, more stories and the tales of Paris (the hotel one’s great).

I’m working on it people!

Also, flickr’ll have all of the better shots up too.  Probably before I get anything up here.

And pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.  He gets an inflated sense of ego from time to time.

This is mat, not ephrog. ph34r.

We’ve just got super-mad hosting recently, (halloooo, 1.5tb transfer a month!) so the photos will go up soon, when I’ve futzed about with thingy. Gallery. Whatever.

Just to make this perfectly clear, this is a travel blog and only a travel blog.

Today, I traveled from home to work, back to home, then to the bank and back to work. I will then go to my sister’s and back home.

Pete, I hate you. This one’s for you.
