Permanent Move

Seeing as how it's been about a million years since I posted on this blog, hopefully anyone who is interested has figured it out now. I've decided to just keep up my blog that I started before I went to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Soooo, I won't be posting anything here anymore....similar to the routine of the last few months. I'd love to gain some readers at http://julieinrio.wordpress.com though!

In Rio

Just in case anyone is wondering: I won't be posting here for a while. I am using my other blog for the whole time that I am in Rio de Janeiro. There is a link on this site if you are interested.

All Lies.

Remember this story?? Well, it turns out that there is a change in the information. It's very minor really, unless of course, you consider the fact that the story was a complete lie to be a major detail. I mean, why should that bother anybody, right?? HELLO?!? What the heck? The tribe does exist, however they were not newly discovered. Instead, we have known about their existence since 1910. Seriously. The guy made up the whole thing about finding a new tribe. He actually knew the coordinates of where the tribe is located,so he sought them out to take pictures and pass them off as a brand-new, undiscovered Amazonian tribe. The guy claims he had noble intentions. (Showing the danger of logging in the Amazon) But, still....lying to the entire world??? Was that really necessary? Apparently he thought so. Ugh.

Here is the new story... http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90781/6436134.html
I encourage you to do some more research on the subject, and to read some other articles if you are interested. And, I wonder if anyone is as offended by this as I am. Anybody??

Home Again

I am back home from GA, and I am still recovering from an exhausting week. Our group had a fantastic trip, and they all really enjoyed it. Now if I can just catch up on sleep before I leave for Brasil next Monday.....yeah right. I have so much stuff to do to prepare for that, which means, there will be little catching up on sleep. Great. Oh well, you can't win them all, right?

Gone for a Week

I will be out of town for the next week....with no internet access. So, that means this will be the last post until I get back next weekend. Sorry!

Reminder: If you haven't seen my blog for my trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil....you should check it out!

Oh How I Love the Wii...

My brother and I have been playing various games on our Wii for the last several hours. And, because Wiis are way cooler than I ever imagined....I can also access the internet on it!! That's right, it has a wireless card. So, I'm sitting downstairs on the couch writing this post from my Wii.....and viewing it on a big screen tv. Now, I'm usually not a materialistic person, but I have to admit, this is pretty freaking sweet.

I Actually Won a Contest

For the past several months, I have been reading a great blog. It is written by a girl who is from New York, but has lived in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil for the last year. She held a contest to raise some money, and I actually won the contest! This means I will be the new owner of a blue pair of Havaianas and a Brazilian flag canga!! Heck yeah!
