Germany

I just arrived in Bonn after about 20 hours of traveling. I am pretty exhausted but excited at the same time. I enjoy traveling about as much as anything else that I do so I am really looking forawrd to the next 8 weeks.

For some reason I can't write comments on my own blog, not sure why but it just won't let me. I didn't put the last post up looking for pity, I put it up because I almost couldn't believe that people were unable to recognize the story as a joke, and also because I thought it was hilarious and hoped most of you would enjoy it. Sometimes I will write something and believe that it is insanely funny at the time I am writing it only to re-read it later and realize that it really isn't funny at all. No great professional has ever been afraid of faliure or rejection, so I don't let it bother me.

I think I am going to hang out in Bonn for about 4 or 5 days before heading to Regensberg this weekend. I guess the Baskets (original name for a pro basketball team) have like 7-8 Americans on the team this year, so John says that they go out and enjoy their minor celebrity.

I wasn't trying to insult you with the "looking for pity" comment. Sarcasm is, apparently, a difficult thing to do without the benefit of voice inflection. I was just saying that most of the Pocketfivers thought the post was funny, yet you highlighted the few dopes who didn't get it. That's all. No offense, mate.
