Again?!?

So, thinking back on my somewhat short (in relative geologic terms) awareness/existence on the internet, I have been part of lots of failed blogs. There was my middle school Xanga (mostly attempts at me being funny) (the more things change the more they stay the same...), my high school Blogspot (where I just complained about all my teachers), my tandem blog about working at a summer camp, a super ill-fated blog where I thought I would write every day about the Houston Astros (somewhere down the line in this fantasy, I became the preeminent Astros blogger and was showered with money and Hunter Pences), and probably various others in between. All of these blogs have failed, as you no doubt can guess,in the sense that I'm no longer writing them.

But, inexplicably, I seem to think that I can keep up continuous blogging in the near future. Or part of me feels that I'm about to do a lot of interesting things in the upcoming months, and should grant myself some sort of venue to write it down. And of course, there's the part of me that thinks people should just be so enamored by anything and everything I do, that I've been doing them a massive disservice by not providing daily updates on my whereabouts and exploits.

So, to pique your (you being....me right now) interest (and hopefully keep me tethered to this blog out of obligation), here's a rough itinerary of months to come: the various cities I should be visiting and what I imagine doing there in my head.

-Boston, MA--APO National Convention, complaining about cold weather to anyone who will listen
-Cambridge, MA--Harvard gallivanting
-Newark, NJ--plane stopover--will finally determine if this state is as punchline-worthy as Jon Stewart leads me to believe
-San Francisco, CA--visiting all the tourist locations I go to every three or so years I'm there
-Davis, CA--maybe I'll go there!?
-Cupertino, CA--did you know some argue that this city should be pronounced Q-pertino, rather than Cue-pertino? I will get to the bottom of this, believe you me.
-College Station, TX--for the first time in my life, I will be out of school and out of work for about a month. Good thing I'm doing it in one of our nation's major metropolitan areas (when considering only cities in Brazos County).
-Austin, TX--a city boasting nearly half a dozen floors where I am more than welcome to sleep
-Houston, TX--maybe I'll go there!?
-Auckland, NZ--two days to discover all the words that they spell with an -ou before it actually matters scholastically.
-Dunedin, NZ--ever wondered if Rat Kings (made famous (in the MacKenzie household) on 30 Rock) actually exist? Well, I promise to you I will get to the bottom of it, since "A rat king found in 1930 in New Zealand, displayed in the Museum in, was composed of immature Rattus rattus whose tails were entangled by horse hair." -- Wiki
-Christchurch, NZ--will attempt to uncover the predominant religion in this city. Expectations of success are low.
-Nadi, FJ--I don't actually know anything about Fiji, and yet I've got 3 or so days to kill there on my way back home. I could either learn their culture beforehand, or just wing it. As an American, I think we all know what I'm going to do.
-Denver, CO--will take in the beautiful air via an airport stopover.

So that's fourteen (possible) cities, three countries, and thousands of dollars of spending waiting for me. Let's see what happens.
