I really hope I’m wrong

Maybe, maybe I have been so tired that I brought my laptop to base, without the power cord, case, forgot I did so, put the laptop in my desk drawer and forgot it was there because of how hectic my week was and then my DSL modem magically vanished from my desk…or they were stolen out of my room on the Kibbutz by the very open hole in my wall where they are preparing my bomb shelter…I haven’t been back since sunday night and I don’t recall bringing my laptop to base…but I’m hopefull that it’s in my office…or for some reason moved somewhere inn room safe…we’ll see…

Finally Home!! // Icon Requests

moocowinthecity No Comments

Finally back at the Kibbutz! It’s been a long, wonderful, amazing week. Many entries are in progress, emails are starting to fill my draft box and LiveJournal tweaking is in progress.

I’m really stinky right now. I’m looking forward to getting out of my uniform (and boots which have been on for two days of patrol/guard duty and…let me tell you…they’re making the wallpaper peel), showering, and blogging.

This weekend is going to be a rather busy one (I have a ton of stuff I have to finish writing for work). I also have to finish grading papers and writing lesson plans, but all in due time :o) Tomorrow’s goal is to sleep in and refresh myself before diving into work.

It feels good to be back on LiveJournal.

Icon Request

I have about 100 places for icons left…any suggestions? Anyone feeling creative? Travel/Nomad/Hiking/RKO/Startrek/IDF/Cow related icons are all welcome :o)

You can never be homeless if you have a tent

This past weekend I went to Ma’agan Michael for fun and relaxation (and to visit my cows), and I figured I’d share what I woke up to…hours before I had to jump back into the fray:

Peace

I spent the night on the beach, listening to the waves crash against the shore…and then to a morning rain shower, followed by dawn…it was awesome…sadly, it’s time to come back to the real world (I look forward to when I can be a full time dirty hippy) and put out some roasting embers that were lit for having the audacity to take a half-day off.

Replies to comments, facebook messages, owls, emails and the like later today and throughout the weekend…I can’t begin to tell you how hopeful I am (and how happy I’ll be) to have my technology shit together and done with this week (please…PLEASE…maybe?).

Also, I’ll be moving my other word press entries and unlocking my blog entries here shortly as well…it’s a work in progress.

Have a great week everyone!

Peace,

Matan

I’m incredibly excited to be heading up to Ma’agan Michael tomorrow morning.

Ulpan #100 is having our first annual graduation anniversary on the beach this weekend. Best of all, since the beach next to Ma’agan Michael is public space, we’re pitching tents and camping out! I’m looking forward to a weekend of quiet relaxation interspersed with raucous partying.

I’ll be leaving the Kibbutz at 7:30am and heading to Tel Aviv, running to the shook to grab some oatmeal for the weekend (I have my camping gas burner and my pot all ready to go), heading to the baker to pick up a nice loaf of fresh bread and then running to Shirah’s apartment to grab peanut butter on my way to the Bus Station.

From the Central Bus Station, the 921 to 15 Kilometers just South of Haifa for a wonderful weekend of relaxation and camaraderie…followed by half a day off on Sunday as I make my way to Headquarters in Tel Aviv to teach English in the afternoon and then on down to Ashkelon.

And there’s tons of writing…it’s just all percolating at the moment.

Moving back over to LiveJournal

Hey All,

Quick post – a longer one coming later tonight (I’m working on a project with my Kibbutz Family that has to get finished), but I’ll be moving my domain back over to livejournal and blogging here again (I just can’t afford hosting at the moment, I have a permanent account here, and fiscally it makes the most sense).

My email – [email protected] – remains the same (thank you, yahoo mail plus), and eventually you’ll find that nomadmatan.net links over to here…I just need to find a way to backup my current site (which I think host monster will let me do) until such a time as I see fit to get hosting again…slowly but surely, you’ll find that things are getting backed up and moved to other services (my travelogue will probably move over to yahoo groups or something).

Anyway, a more coherent entry later.

Peace, love and hummus,

Matan
