some really spectacular news about sunset

one the podiocast greats J.C. Hutchins has posted a link to my story on his site! thank you so much. if you haven't heard of his books the 7th son trilogy, then you should really check it out. they are for the action thriller set, are incredibly well written, and keep you on the edge of your seat.

don't know what i am talking about?
go to his website
check out my review of his first book

being here

i have been finding it difficult to actually get on the internet since being home and it's not for the lack of internet. i think i got out of the habit of actually getting online since i didn't have internet at my apartment nor a computer (for the last two weeks). i am surprised i got out of the habit so quickly. needless to say my blogging has suffered.

if you piece together the last couple of infrequent posts you can see that i have suffered very little culture shock (thankfully) going over i had enough of it. i am back to normal and back to not sleeping again (getting up and being busy).

the one thing that is new to me is having more people read my vampire story. it is pretty exciting that the numbers are increasing.

sorry for the boring post. don't really have a lot to blog about

hey i'm home

coming back to america was great. i have realized how great this country is and how lucky we all are to live hear.

some of the few things that have shocked me is the quietness and orderliness of the streets, the few number of homeless cats, dogs, and people (at least in my neighberhood), and the amount of skin that people show. this has probably been the biggest thing. i actually felt uncomfortable going out in my bathing suit to the pool. and sometimes seeing girls with shorts and tank tops is startling. one other big shock was going to the grocery store. it was a little overwhelming to be in such a big building surrounded by so much food. thankfully my reverse culture shock is significantly less than my culture shock from when i went over there.

overall its good to be home.

i'm back

for all those who read this-

i have returned to the us safely. it never felt so good to be home, to hug my family, and to sleep in my own bed. i will miss egypt and never forget what i learned about the world or myself while i was over there. thank you for all the support that i received through these past six months. i will continue to blog as soon as the dust settles.
