Happy New Year
Hey, Folks!
My goal was to write the first post on January 1st, but I was unable to get to an Internet connection that day. I had to work late on New Year's Eve, then decided to head up to Raleigh to see some of my old friends to ring in the new year. The result was that I was at the 75-mile marker on US 1 when 2008 ended. That was partially by intent though; 2008 was a year of transition for me (understatement), so it was actually kinda poetic that I should say farewell to it... well, in transit. I was listening to Bruce Springsteen at midnight, even though I really don't like him very much, but Glory Days seemed like a good song to listen to at the time - or, at least, it was the most appropriate song available on my iPod.
It's a new year, and a good time to put the blog back up, but I've decided not to re-post all the stuff I wrote in 2008. Last year was a pretty tough year and things were hitting me more quickly than I could figure out the best way to talk about them here. The result was that it got a little more personal than a blog with my name in big letters at the top (and in the address) should ever have gotten. So, what I'm basically saying here is that the blog is about to become supremely boring, as I tell you about all the mundane and completely sterile details of my life. Of course, if you thought the blog was boring before, then this isn't much of a change for you...
School starts in a week at UNC, but I don't have classes on Mondays, so it starts in eight days for me. I have a four-day weekend every week. Not bad for a guy turning 29 in a few weeks, but I do still have to do work for my fellowship all week. I also have a new apartment with ten four-legged roommates. It's built into a horse stable in Chapel Hill. It's small and I had to employ scorched-earth tactics to battle the spiders, but it really has a lot of potential. I kinda feel like Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse, except I don't drink coffee...
Anyway, I'm not sure how often I'll be writing here, or what it is I'll be writing about, but I definitely felt like it was time to put something up. Happy New Year!

Like a long awaited season of Sopranos it’s great to see you are back. I am pulling for you and hope 2009 is a great year. Keep in touch Chris.

PS: After your emphasizing ‘crowd pleaser’ it still makes me laugh hard!
You gonna get to ride any of those horses Höheinöd style?
