The Labels

the labels, for the most part, speak for themselves - Somalia, Sudan, Kenya, etc. - these, i'm sure are clear, so onto the others that might need some words:

surreal moments: the little moments in life where there seems to be an incongruence between where you are and what you're doing, and it hits you that your life might just be a little weird. the little 'wow' moments in life, where you can't believe that this actually is a reality of your life.

it's been heard: things i've heard, seen and read along the way that put a smile on my face.

short bits: short, sometimes humorous, updates that i've sent or posted to friends over the years. 

this life: things i've learned along the way, nothing life changing, mostly weird, rather funny, and somewhat pointless, but lessons learned anyway.
