The World's Greatest Blog

Fine work, Brad. This blog has turned into a real life-changer for you, huh? Idiot. Well, it has been eight months since my last (second) post. Clearly, if this was to be a travel blog, I have failed miserably. It crosses my mind on a weekly basis to post something on my blog. I sure as hell have had enough free time and material to write about. It reminds me of my outlook on working out. Every few days I say to myself, “tomorrow is the day I start working out.” If you have seen my body, you know how well that has been going for me. I think I am on day 286 of the “tomorrow is the day I start working out” routine.

As far as my travels go, I have been near and far. Since my last entry in February, I have been to:

Valencia, Spain

Stockholm and Nykoping, Sweden

London, England

Cinque Terre, Milan, and Genova, Italy

Vienna, Austria

Budapest, Hungary

Oahu, Hawaii

Paris and Normandy, France

Munich for Oktoberfest

The Greek Islands of Santorini, Ios, and Naxos

It would be impossible to give a recap of each of these travels, so I wont even bother. Luckily, though, as of last week, I have had my contract extended, meaning that I will be staying in beautiful Garmisch-Partinkirchen, Germany for awhile longer. Why did I stay you ask? There is not one definitive reason, but here are a few:

1.       I have a job. If I moved back to the States, it would be likely that I would be unemployed temporarily. Obtaining some sort of income on a bi-weekly basis is a good thing, therefore I’d like to keep it that way.

2.       Healthcare. Being that I live my life like a moron and treat my body like an amusement park, it eases my mind knowing that I have health care. Of course, if I quit and moved home, I am sure within the first week I would get dared into doing something asinine by my friends and end up in the ER with a $30,000 tab. No thanks.

3.       Traveling the world > living in parents’ basement. Do I really need to expound on this?

Yes, moving home would probably be wise for many reasons as well, mostly in regards to the whole "starting a career" thing. My response to that: see my first post. It isn’t that difficult to find. Scroll down about 9 inches.

On that note, I am out. I hope to post again soon. Or again in eight months. Whatever.
