Welcome to the Blog (Finally!)

Okay, friends and family....

Finally, after a lot of broken promises ("okay, soon I'll put up my blog") I finally have got around to uploading The Blog.

I guess it was just the sheer amount of work I encountered when coming here (not to mention culture shock, homesickness, and all that rubbish) that kept making me put it off.

It's pretty sad that it took me six months to realize that hey, my work ain't getting any lighter, it's just increasing...so let me put off excuses and put up the blog already!

So there you go. Let me apologize for any controversy, irreverence, or otherwise unpalatable aspects of it in advance. I haven't kept my (too numerous) opinions out so invariably toes will be stepped on. But don't worry, for the most part it is just a chronicle of the random musings and observations I have on life in Jordan and...well, observations on life in general, for that matter. Being thousands of miles away from everyone and everything familiar will do that to you :)

If you start from this post down you will find the first post I wrote after coming here. Just proceed downwards from there. All the posts are not here, you're gonna have to click forward using the "previous posts" menu on the left. In the future all new posts will appear at the top of the blog, not at the end. Keep ckecking back for updates...now that the blog is set up and I have internet at home I'm not gonna be as lazy!

Oh, and don't forget to leave comments :) I'm missing everyone, believe it or not, and would love to hear from you!
