An End and a Beginning

January 12, 2011 to Chengdu, China. Me.

I intend to maintain this blog even and especially when I return to China. In fact, part of my intentions when I started maintaining this was to attempt to keep people who may be far away somewhat informed about what's going on in my life. I don't know if the structure and/or contents of these writings will be altered upon my departure in the beginning of my real life (i.e. life after university), but, in any case, it is my desire to continue writing!

There is nothing sacred when living with one's family.
There is nothing sacred when one has a 13-year-old brother.

My family watches movies that they own, but they only watch them when they come on television.

Only things in the past can be true or false.
