Well, I have been gone a little while. This is no surprise. It happens from time to time. But I'm back and I have an idea that I am excited about. So, I am going to share it with you guys! I am going to post once a day for the next thirty days. And if I am going to be gone a day then I will write it a day early. If I succeed in this, it will be the second largest number of posts in a month that I have ever done. But! Here's the catch! Coming up with 30 things to talk about is not easy. So, I am going to ask you guys for help! I will write a post about every single comment I get on this post. That's right! I will write about whatever you want me to write about. If you want me to write about spaghetti I will! All you have to do is write, "spaghetti"! This is your chance to ask those questions you've always been scared to ask! Why do I call my parents by their first names? What's that scar on my stomach from? Did I really win a gold medal in the olympics? Why am I growing out a beard when I like the way I look without it better? What am I most proud of about myself? What am I most scared of? Ummm... yeah, anything! So, I hope I get thirty comments! Please contribute something! Anything! A random word!

I hope you guys don't think this is gimmicky or absurd, because I am really excited about it. Though, if you do that's okay too! I will just have to comment thirty times and start there.

Anyway, I guess I have some catching up to do (what follows is random stream of conscious): Nothing really has happened since my last post. I've been at home. I haven't accomplished anything. Though, I did just start programming again, yesterday. I went canoeing a couple of times. Its fun! I was reminded about why we wear sunscreen. I was reminded about why I don't like fireworks. I love badminton. I love the neighbors-- though I feel like a stranger here. I started taking some dance lessons. Dancing's scary! I bought some new jeans. I love them. I started wearing my cowboy hat again.

Alright, sorry I've been gone! But I'm back for the foreseeable future! And don't forget to write a comment!

UPDATE: These are all the suggestions I have received so far. I will cross them out as I write them. What Dance I am learning. Nudity. Yoga. Hot Dogs. BJ's. Airplanes. Keri. Robots with afros! Web development as a profession. An idea Omer can steal to become rich. A comparison of myself at the start of college to now. Limericks. My philosophy on gender and gender inequality. Dracula Vs. Science -- who would win? Mountains and Oceans (I am going to do them as one post because they are both geographical). Lumberjacks. Linux. A vendetta. Romance. Worst anything ever. Baseball. Mr. Big. Weddings. Dogs. The rather uninteresting scar on my stomach. Ditka or a Hurricane. Baseball as a metaphor. False modesty. The joy in computer science. Hiking the PCT. Movies. And that's it so far. There are 31 there (assuming I can count. Which is not a safe assumption). So, I will just do one extra day. And if anyone else still has something for me to write about, add a comment and I will still do it.

    Boatswain: if you like limericks, you might be interested in this post. Some of them aren't too bad, although a few are repeated several times.

    Dread Pirate: false modesty!
