wow did someone say sierra leone?




here i go...my very first blog. i'd have to say in a perfect world i would have someone doing this computer stuff for me - my vision for what i would like to create far surpasses my skills at creating it, oh well one day...(by the way any hints, tips, or anything to make this as easy as possible is greatly appreciated)

Countdown...departure time to Sierra Leone - 13 more sleeps...i can't say that i'm overly anxious or nervous, rather it feels like a natural progression, to be honest i think my spirit is in Freetown already - my body just needs to catch up!****I'm down to taking my last immunization tonight (this carbonated raspberry tasting stuff that is suppose to prevent cholera & travelers diarrhea- lets hope!) i have yet to form an opinion on whether or not i believe in immunizations - my real curiosity lies in the claim that if they are soooo necessary for me why not for the people of Sierra Leone? Now I don't need anyone to explain to me the *Politics of it - misdirected power and a few $$$$$$ pretty much sums that up...but what i do feel is infecting myself with disease to prevent disease seems a little absurd...is this a holistic approach, like homoeopathy -you know, like treating like? maybe? hopefully one day someone with a little more knowledge on this topic will be able to enlighten me.
