the next two weeks are going to be disturbed by a quick trip back to the US. my mom guilt tripped me into flying back for three days so i would be able to attend my brother's college graduation with the rest of the family. it is such a pain to deal with customs and flying hours over the
atlantic for three days. three days that will be filled with family events and not much time to do what i want. don't get me wrong, i love my family to death but its been so long since
i've been in the US and there are things i would like to do. however, these things will have to wait until summer when i come back to the states for a couple months.
i really have to learn this guilt trip that mom's use. i am good at it but moms master the guilt trip. there is a saying about mastering an area, something like it takes 10,000 hours. this is the equivalent of 1,250 days. i guess it would seem reasonable for a mom over the lifetime of her children to master the guilt trip. i don't need any children so it will probably take me a bit longer. either way, i hope you were good to the moms in your life yesterday.

Have a safe trip and thanks for posting again!
i second that...i still love reading your blog and i periodically checked it from time to time for months just to see if you started posting again. i'm so glad to see that you have and i always look forward to your next entry.
regarding your post, perhaps you are already developing that skill by the subtle manipulations of developing a fan base. it always amazes me how people can "feel" connected to individuals they truly don't know with any amount of certainty through blogs, articles, facebook, and the like. i think a successful blog is another example of a persons ability to manipulated or at least significantly influence other behaviors through social media.
