After I left the United States I flew in to Cancun and was picked up by a friend to make the drive home. My home was in a shambles for being left for so long. A year in Japan, a stint in the US, and back home. It was a complete mess. I was offered not too long after a job by some of my cousins in Brazil. I call them cousins but they are not related we are just close like family, but not close enough to be brothers. I was able to get to Brazil after all of the checkpoints and weird looks about what I was doing going to Brazil. Finally made it and now I have a job filling out paper work and patrolling. I got the job because of my expansive language knowledge. The only language I am not good with is Arabic. I can read a little and understand a little but I do not know enough to hold a conversation with someone. Yet. I will continue to study. I may draw a comic of my adventures in paper work.

I also have to apologize to everyone. The system took away my 12 days of Christmas journal. They claimed I could not ask anyone to repost even if it was not a requirement. Be careful my artist friends. They can take your journals.

I do not have all of the drawings anymore with the move my old laptop got smashed. I need to get a new one. I am using the work computer to write this and respond. I have been saving and will have my good friend in the US get one from Amazon and ship it to me. It is easiest with a laptop here because we have limited bunk space or I would get a real computer.

Thank everyone for watching me and for caring. Thank you from my heart to yours.
