Ponderings and musings before the travel

Let no one say that I go on this trip with false impressions. I've watched the movie The Lion King. I've watched Instinct. And, as if that wasn't country-specific enough, I've also watched Last King of Scotland. How's that for life experience?

No, the truth is, I know far too little about what I am going to. Which is, to me, all the more reason to go, in fact. I have these impressions based on stuff that I've read and movies I've watched, but I don't delude myself into thinking that that's anywhere close to what reality has to offer.

Nonetheless, if I see Forest Whitaker, I'm going to run.

  2. C'mon his wife's name is Keisha and he has a daughter named AUTUMN! beautiful name!.

    Autumn just had her debut at the crillon ball in Paris, why I know this crap? blame seaofshoes.com Why I will never forget this crap? blame my brain's penchant of hoarding useless information.

    Forest is a beautiful name, my biological mother alleges that she served Idi Amin in a Saudi hospital when she worked in the pharmacy.

    Does he really eat his enemies?
    Now that's a hungry dictator

    also, are these being screened and will you be taken in as a political prisoner?
