| On second thought, maybe not. I think I'll just say, "Hey, it's stupid that PRC won't let me post on my own online journal. Perhaps I'll move somewhere that they don't have influence."
Members of the Travisthehobbit team acknowledge that they have not been doing their part to live up to the expected drama level of an online journal. We understand that we should be a lot more waffley about many more matters. We realize that not nearly enough Smashing Pumpkins, Dashboard Confessional, Jimmy Eat World, and Something Corporate songs were quoted. We sincerely apologize to all concerned, and renew our commitment to more drama than you can stomach.
- Travisthehobbit, and the voices in his head
Visited Hong Kong a few weeks ago. It was really fun, and surprisingly conveniend. Any kind of food you wish to gorge on, you can probably find in HK, as well as fresh milk, cheese, and very few censorship laws - legally a part of PRC, although with a different legal code. A lot of the perks of living in PRC without most of the bullshit and almost none of the incompetence. It may very well be my next home. I shall give that idea a serious looking-into.
New Year's Resolutions:
1. Post my pictures from the places I've visited online
2. Build up my TravBuddy site
3. ?
4. Profit

| I think that, in all probability, I will stop using this online journal. Firstly, PRC makes it a pain in the butt for me to use it, and there are other blogs out there where I don't have to go through the trouble. Secondly, I want to consolidate my life down to (hopefully) ONE online source. In all probability, that will be Facebook. So, I hope you all fare well. I think I have pretty much all of your email addresses. If I don't, and you want me to, send me a message. See you in the history books. Travis | | |
| I think that, because of the ban on Xanga by the PRC, it would be a lot simpler to just find another site to host my blog. If I find one, I will post it on my travel blog site, which is also mostly empty.

The Once and Future Blog--The book gets its name, of course, because Arthur is destined to come back one day.
And the Jedi, and the Hobbits, Aslan, Sir Orfeo, Buddha, Beowulf, World Peace, and all the rest of my dreams. And freedom of speech and of the press in China.
Arthur, as an old man, in his tent on the eve of a battle.
ARTHUR: Thomas, my idea of those knights was a sort of candle, like the ones here. I have carried it for many years with a hand to shield it from the wind. It has flickered often. I am giving you the candle now--you won't let it out?
THOMAS: It will burn.

You know what? I started with Howard Zinn, I titled my blog after his phrase, I might as well end with him. Hope doesn't have to be rational. Just because something has never happened before doesn't mean it never will.
Every few months, I stare at an object and try to make it move with my mind. None have yet.
