I jumped into the blogosphere in 2005, and kept this blogspot going until 2010. What began as a place to write about my kitschy, LA environs soon morphed into my travel diary as I sailed around the world on the MV Explorer from 2007 – 2011. Many of these posts were written via internet cafes in haste, and on foreign keyboards, so please excuse the grammar. To keep that voice authentic, and to showcase a realistic slice of interweb history, no pieces have been edited.
