Graduate.

Dear reader,

If you still have this blog listed as my primary address, I regret to inform you that I have moved again.

Because I have imported these posts to my new blog address, this blog will cease to exist soon. Update update update.

Life Update

Hello dear reader.

I've neglected all of you. I have not written. I'm not sorry about it.. it just hasn't happened. I do miss all of you.

So, here is the update of the blog, for your consumption.

I have moved. Tucson is but a heartbreaking memory. Chicago now fills my vision, my thoughts.

I'm out here in Elgin, IL (its a suburb - like Marana, but without the cowfolk...). For those that don't know, I will be attending this fall at Judson College with a focus on Inter-cultural studies. Tuesday, I start a new position with an old friend. I will be in the Mobilization department here at International Teams.

New Direction

Pushin' Back.

So.

I haven't blogged since I have been home. There are a few reasons for this, but the most prominent in my mind is this.

I feel like this outlet is too self absorbed for me. I am hyper-aware of this. When I am updating frequently, I would check my stat counter to see how many people were logging on to check out what I had to say. Comments from people would drive me, even if it was only one. I'm tired of being a self absorbed person.

I want everyone to know that I am adjusting back to America. Its been a slow and cumbersome process, and the only thing that has aided it has been good friends. Friends who I am safe with. Friends who would listen if I wanted to talk about Russia, or Spain, or Greece, or Christianity, or Missions. Friends who would listen if I just wanted to talk about baseball, chicken, and the price of gas.

Thanks to everyone who has been a part of this over the last few years. But, for now. I am done.

But -- Look forward to something different. When I finish wrapping my mind around whatever it is that I want to do. I will let you know. It will not be here at chriswarren.blogspot.com. It will be a bit different, but it will still be me. Just hopefully to a bit less of a degree.

Love,
Chris

:: gone ::

I left Santiago this morning.

I flew to Liverpool. Where I proceeded to board bus number 500 which took me directly to Lime Street Station. I met a nice old lady named Stella who served as a tour guide while I was on my way. She even got me oriented in the right direction at the train station.

I boarded the 12:15 with Burger King to go... just in time to depart for London. I slept most of the way.

I am settled into my hostel for the evening. Going to go have a beer, and try and catch part of the football match between Liverpool and Barcelona tonight.

Ok. 2 Minutes left at the internet cafe. See you soon loved ones. Goodbye to those in Santiago whom I didn't see before departing. I will see you soon too.

Using mobile phones for smarter things.

No, I don't mean smart phones.

I mean... More capabilities though. But, I don't mean in the way of desktop-esque apps, and improved mail capabilities.

I mean... Get with the times.

Check out this article about how McDonald's is teaming up with DoCoMo for improved usage in Japan.

Pay for your Big Mac from your phone. Or, board a train using a barcode stored into your phone. !! Get with the times America!! Quit with the social networking crap (although, I know it makes money), and give me something a bit more useful then MySpace on my phone. ºRetchº

In other news. Today is my last day at Cafe Terra Nova, it is in fact... The last day under our [IT] ownership. The documents have been signed, and the money has changed hands. I close up in an hour, and that is all she wrote.

Jake (HT: Matt via the Terra Nova Blog) has some pics up.

Thanks for playin.
