Stuff White People Like- right on!

ok, so I know what most of you are thinking, and others of you may be freaking out- who really knows...two posts in one day, wow.

Now that we are past that, I have been procrastinating work 
this morning, and any of the legitimately urgent (or not so urgent) things I need to accomplish within the span of work hours (being 9-6 [ish]) will be pushed back for a few, meaning i will have to work 'late' tonight, mai ben rai ka- no worries. 

Anyway, in my procrastination I came across a post on a blog that is quite humorous and pretty much 100% accurate, the majority of the time. Take today's post for example... the story of my life.

Absolutely completely Right on.

peace, love, and africa...



exploit, experience, feat, escapade...

Ok so I was thinking about changing it up a bit, but the thesaurus has nothing on the word adventure, as seen by the first four words in this post. Escapade could be kind of cool but actually kind of sounds like an age 7 birthday party next to adventure, not sure but possibly.

All of that to say: I will soon embark on my next adventure--(in 13 days to be exact).

I am going on the road as a 'Roadie' with IC
It's a 5 month internship: 
We are in San Diego for training during the first month.
And then in the beginning of September we leave to make the wide open road our friend for 3 months.
Then back to SD for a month to follow up and process the whole thing.

and so,

The New Adventure begins!
5 months total, 40 new friends and fellow roadies, 3 months on tour, 2 guys/2 girls, one van, and miles upon miles of open road for what you ask? 
It all comes down to one thing: to help bring peace to northern Uganda. 
Sorry for the lack of detail/information on IC /Uganda itself... at this moment there is no time to write about everything i want to. 
But, please check it:
 www.invisiblechildren.com -the organization, the movement, the heart
 www.ugandacan.org -you can find up to date information about the situation in Uganda.

I'm off! let's see where this next mundane, or not so mundane adventure leads!
love y'all!
