Happy Thanksgiving!

November 27, 2008

There’s a whole lot I’m thankful for, but I’m probably most thankful for my family and friends: Oliver, Rainer and the rest of my relatives, my expat friends, German friends, college friends, high school friends, childhood friends, and all the other friends I’ve made along the way.  I’m thankful that Bush won’t be president for [...]

There were a lot of great questions, keep em coming if you still got any.  Here’s some answers, others will come soon. 1. What’s your favorite Pearl Jam song? That’s tough.  I like a lot of them, and Riot Act has been played often as of late.  When I was in college, I considered “Corduroy” [...]

A controversial address?

November 17, 2007

So, it seems I’ve stirred things up a tiny bit in the expat blogger world (well, I caused two blog posts to be written, if that can be considered stirring things up).  I, mostly unknowingly, picked a controversial address for my blog, namely, AMIexpat.  Martina wonders why I would pick this as an address, while [...]

Social networking or round, round, round, round, I get around

June 26, 2007

A little while ago, I got invited by friends to join LinkedIn and Facebook. I decided to take the opportunity to check out some of the other social networking sites as well. Facebook is great. I really dig it, but it would be better if I had a few more friends (I’ve got 8 at [...]
