Here's this wonderfully sad and beautiful story that I read on Slate today and it has nothing to do with Africa or me, but it's something I feel like I just needed to share.
An Affair to Remember

So read it.
PS-I think the sonnet below might be an appropriate bit of verse for the story actually.

I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer for the Country of Mauritania in Africa. I'm going to be working in Education teaching English at a High School or Jr. High School. My departure date is June 21, 2008.

About Me

Make a Starving Brandon in Africa Happy...
This is my REAL address for the duration of my time here. It should take like 3 weeks for stuff to get to me. Any kind of snack foods, canned foods, spices, cake mixes, peanut butter... and most importantly drink mixes, like kool-aid... loved and welcome. And candy that can survive the trip! Oh, and finally Pirate gear.

and include "Air Mail" and "Par Avion" on the envelope (or package wink wink) too otherwise I'll probably get your mail a few weeks before I come back home!

Oh yeah.. gotta say this stuff.
Nothing expressed on this page, be it in English, broken French, Pig Latin, through pictodiagram or through streams of curse words represent the view of the United States Government, The Peace Corps, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, Sanity, Common Sense, Democrats, Kansasns, University of Puget Sound Alums, Bi-Racial people of America, anyone with whom I am friends on MySpace or Facebook or any groups of which I am a member on said social internet gather sites... But they are me. So enjoy.
