Hello to the four people that read my blog months and months ago, I have returned from my treasure hunt in South America that was filled with machete fights to the death, hours upon hours of vine swinging, and the exhilaration of finding ancient riches while nearly escaping capture from dart-spitting locals. Well, that’s not entirely true, I didn’t have enough free time to truly appreciate the soothing pastime that is vine swinging.

I wish my life was that cool, full of crocodile wrestling and volcano luging (there is no correct spelling anywhere for this), but truthfully it is somewhat less eventful. But my life has changed a lot since my last posting, and it would take a long time to hit all the deets on what has happened so I’ll save that for when I’m bored one day, possibly in between shark dives.

But things are on the up and up, I am waiting to start a job downtown as a Content Developer, writing researched web pages on various educational topics. Sounds lame, but I like that kind of stuff and it comes naturally to me and pays a deece to quite deece wage. I have been writing for a nightlife magazine out of Northwest Indiana called The NWI Entertainer, I cover three bands and one DJ a month. To check out some articles, head to http://www.nwientertainer.com, and last fall I actually interviewed a possible American Idol. Amy Davis, who grew up in Lowell and lives in Cedar Lake, has been playing in a couple of bands in the Region and I did a phone interview with her while she was in Houston in the midst of her audition. She is very talented and extremely easy on the eyes, so I might actually watch that show now. At second thought, probably not, but I’ll always back her because if she makes it I can say I was the first writer to ever publish an article on her, subsequently causing me to purchase an oversized button that says “RAD” that I will proudly wear on a daily basis. That way when I’m walking around people will say, “Excuse me sir, but I am fascinated with your button, may I ask why you are wearing it?” And I will respond, “Funny you should ask,.....”

There are many more interesting things that have happened, but I must leave you wanting more so I bid you farewell, but keep your eye out for some future postings!
