Welcome to My Brain

Hi. I'm Duncan, and this is my journal. There's a good chance you knew that already, or else you wouldn't be here, but in case that you just woke up from a decades-long coma and found yourself staring at this page in terrified bafflement, you don't have to be scared anymore. Anyway, I just like to cover my bases.

And let me introduce my journal, though, to be fair, it's really more of a "blog" than a "journal." If that confuses you, allow me to explain. A "blog" (from the Latin bloggus, meaning "a blog") is a place to write the divers thoughts, feelings, and experiences accompanying a particular adventure. You see, I'm in the Peace Corps (from the Latin corpus peaceaopolis - there's a little Greek in there, too), stationed in Morocco (from the Latin Morocco).

And thus, it is herein that I will record my divers thoughts, feelings, and experiences accompanying my adventure in Morocco such that you, dear readers, may benefit from them. You will laugh, you will cry, you will laugh at each other for crying, you will blink your eyes in earth-shattering wonder at the sheer poetic brilliance of my aimless, meandering mind. All without having to leave the comfort of your plush computer desk chairs.

And now let's kick this old school.
