return from paradise...

Please don’t mistake my lack of action on the blog front as mere abandonment. I’ve been completely unconcerned with all things technological, which is a side effect of inhabiting an island paradise i guess.

for an amazing 12 days we did nothing but soak up the warm atmosphere and utter relaxation that characterize boracay, a tiny island in the philippines about an hour south of manila by plane.

mix crystal blue seas, miles of white sand, gallons of mango margaritas, incessant live music and a hammock in the shade and it would be damn near impossible to have a bad time i figure.

it’s a bit disappointing to find myself back at my old post, corrupting youth, tapping the keyboard, waking while the time is still read in single digits. but it’s all in framing the comparison right? vacations wouldn’t qualify as get-aways if we lived them daily. although, that’s a concession i might make to get back to the island…i mean, i’d be willing to attempt to live that bohemian, carefree life for a few months just to see how do-able it is…just to see if it would still qualify as extraordinary even without a daily grind for comparison…perhaps this is a serious scientific study that i should undertake…i’ll need financial backing, a sponsor, a scholarship…call the national science foundation…

more to come on the philippines.
