First Post. Yay.

This is my first blog post ever. I've never blogged before. I had a very public position a few years ago, so I didn't really want people to know what I did or what I thought in my private life. Well, that's no more. I recently decided to move to Shanghai, China and many of my friends, who are scattered around the the world, have asked me to blog about my experiences. So first, I hope that this blog doesn't get blocked in China. Second, I hope I can keep this up and actually have more than one person read this. I guess that was three hopes.

Well, I'm still here in Los Angeles while I prepare for my move in less than 3 weeks. Like any big move, this one is complicated. I have to move out of my apartment, move back to my parents house, then have about 9 days to pack-up warm clothes and other shit into two large suitcases, then get my ass on the plane, then land in Shanghai, lug my shit around the city and check into a hotel for 2 nights, then settle into my dorm room. Why a dorm room? I'll cover that in my second post.
