Matt's Motorcycle Diary: December 2009
http://mattinpg.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
The stories of a Volunteer in Belize. Sunday, December 13, 2009. Cayes, Gallos, Indiana Jones, and new room mates. So my life is an adventure. That is pretty much a staple of my new life: absurdity. I was recently laying in my hammock over looking the sea listening to Christmas carols that Belizeans have been playing on repeat since November and I was reflecting the last week or so. My past two weeks are evidence of my absurd adventure that is my life. Recap:. After an hour in said boat we arrived. One o...

The stories of a Volunteer in Belize. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. "- Buddha. Oh the blog conundrum. I have attempted to write three separate blog entries this week, and deleted each one shortly after beginning. Let me spell out how I am feeling about this blog. I am in my second year, so blogging has become more of a burden than something I like. Settlement day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc) . So that ...

The stories of a Volunteer in Belize. Monday, May 30, 2011. My view from the end. During our disorientation last month we were told to think of “our story”, what is it we will tell people about our time here. Which had me thinking… “What is my. Last week my second year community mate, Emily, came back for a visit. Which was consoling, talking with a former community member who has made the scary transition home right before I am about to make it myself. So what has come of my time? 8220;I’na ketch. You b...

The stories of a Volunteer in Belize. Wednesday, May 12, 2010. The boy with a curse. Dear Dougie, this one's for you. Due to content and kick in the pants you gave me to write again. What is this dreaded curse" you ask? Who drives into their own house? Incident number three: I get rammed by a fellow high schooler on the way to a lacrosse game. Luckily not my fault. Then again the insurance company wasn't pleased. After two hours we get help and make our way home. Before this incident I nearly broke my ta...

The stories of a Volunteer in Belize. Saturday, October 2, 2010. In my last post I told you how we fled to the city, scared for our lives etc. Well 5 days later I was back up north. This time to get my poo tested. It felt like deja. As I sat in the overly air conditioned waiting room waiting for my test results. It was the last day of September. September of last year I was in the same waiting room, in a considerable more amount of pain, waiting for my results also. Last year it was dengue. Sounds pretty...

Matt's Motorcycle Diary: pictures and poets..
http://mattinpg.blogspot.com/2010/09/pictures-and-poets.html
The stories of a Volunteer in Belize. Thursday, September 2, 2010. A few pictures supplemented with the words of some of my favorite poets. I've heard within my inmost soul. Such cheerful morning news,. In the horizon of my mind. Have seen such orient hues". The world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;. It gathers to greatness, like the ooze of oil". I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. The coming down is the hardest thing". Check out my pictures!
