Yes We Can!

Still warm with the Obama glow?  I know I am.  I've never felt so excited or optimistic about America!  It feels so good now, to be American, and to be in Cairo.  For the last 5 years that I've been going in and out of other countries, it was always such a difficult question when people would ask "where are you from."  Yet for the first time, I have little reason to hesitate.  

Everything is definately going wonderfully.  I feel healthy again, school has gotten a little more enjoyable, and the hardest parts of being here have in many ways subsided.  Most importantly, I feel that my involvment with the gangs is about to make a step forward.  Some of the guys have a show tomorrow night, and I've been spending a lot of time on the side trying to learn better music writing techniques.  Tonight we are going to start laying down some 'final' vocal tracks, and I expect to have a few polished songs recorded within the next few days.

As for the moment, I have a lot of reading to do for class tonight, so I'll catch up with y'all later.
