two "placeholder" thoughts before i go through the task of going through 10 days of unchecked emails ...

firstly, the concept of putting something "unique" on your luggage so that you can differentiate yourself from 5,000 other black suitcases ... does not work when the other people do the exact same thing.

secondly, it's kind of depressing to turn on your cell phone after returning from a long trip to have no voicemails. you'd think that i would have enough friends that maybe ONE would of not discovered i had gone to europe and would of left a voicemail saying, "hey roy, let's hang out. call me back," but this is not the case ... maybe i just have no friends.

ok, onto emails.
::takes in deep breath::

i'm ready.
