The Greatest Game with Butterflies in it Ever.

I was initially planning to make this article a biting analysis of Grand Island. However, as fun as I think that could have been, I couldn’t bring myself to publically ridicule my hometown of nearly twenty years.
Instead, I will tell you of my plans for this blog in the next year, since it has seemingly appeared out of the blue.

Subsequent to this semester, I will *hopefully* be serving as an intern to Congressman Adrian Smith in Washington, D.C. This isn’t nailed down yet, but as I said—hopefully. Success would mean living with my eldest sister, Becky, and her husband, Mike, for roughly eight weeks. I would be given the opportunity of not only learning through the internship, but also cooking from Becky, and how to best manipulate my wife from Mike…truly a valuable skill. I will keep up my posts while in the nation’s capitol and let everyone know what’s up with what’s going down (Interns are good inside sources to national intelligence, just in case you weren’t aware).

Unlike the uncertainty of the summer, I will most assuredly be studying abroad in Middelburg, Netherlands for the fall semester of 2010. Much to my mother’s displeasure, I will be in a country of legal marijuana use, a 16-year old drinking age, and glorious prostitution. I call it cultural immersion. My course load is not yet defined, but I will most likely be taking some international law and economics classes. It will not be imperative for me to learn Dutch for my trip, but I purchased the level 1 Rosetta Stone software just to be safe. My family members are planning trips to come see me, so if you need a reason to travel abroad, let me be it. I am also going to keep the blog going over there as well, recounting my ventures of sin and corrupt—I mean travel, culture, and intellect.

I will keep it short for now. Sorry this article isn’t a satirical argument against socialism. It appeard you all enjoyed that one maybe too much.

Become a follower to make me feel better. I’ll write no matter what, I just need reassurance since my oldest sisters have teased, taunted, and criticized me over the years to the point that—just kidding, I have an ego.

Cheers.
