I should be sleeping...

Yeah...I really should be sleeping. It's 4:30 in the morning and I've been lying here for nearly 2 hours with no sign of actual sleep. Call it jet lag (I did travel across 7 timezones and arrived here in this small country of Qatar about 36 hours ago) or maybe it's the excitement/nervousness of what is in store for the near future (kind of like the kid who can't sleep before Disney World). And yes...this is coming from the same guy who falls asleep within two minutes of hitting the pillow every night...well most nights I guess.

Either way...what does one do at 4:30am? Well start the blog that so many have been requesting, of course! So here it is. The blog. The story. The adventure...of how a young 28 year old moved around the world from the state that resembles a mitten to the peninsular country that looks a lot like the thumb of that mitten. Oh yeah...that peninsular country just happens to be located in the Middle East...and it's hot! And yes, I did mean to describe myself as a 'young' 28 year old. The adventure is just beginning...care to tag along?
