This is a blog. This is my blog. This is not my first blog, but considering my first blog (Fusion SF) is strong in concept and weak on content, this is the space where I will be pouring the brunt (all) of my electronic journaling energies.
I hope you enjoy my blog. If you desire to be informed about Matthew Ridenour's rendezvous and excursions throughout Asia for the next 2 months, please become a follower. You won't regret it.
REAL TIME:
I am currently sitting at home in Westlake Village, CA- a 25-year-old man. For the first time ever. At midnight I stepped into the realm of Quarter-Centurydom. And it's been pretty good ever since. My mother, the lovely Mrs. Wendy Ridenour was the sole person on earth to witness me turning 25 years old. When I informed her that this was a "big deal", she informed me that she was also the only one there (not sure where Pastor Dale was) 25 years ago when I entered the world. So she's seen it all. What a woman.
At 12:01am my buddy Greg Zapf came over, narrowly missing the rowdy and rambunctious countdown to midnight that my mother and I had just finished. Greg and I worked on some travel plans, as we will be meeting (God willing) in New Delhi, India on June 30. So you will definitely hear much more about Greg. Maybe so much that you'll grow tired of him. But please don't grow weary of Greg- he's a solid guy with a heart of gold, not to mention an impeccable driving record.
It is nearly 3am, and I am attempting to circumvent the jet lag by keeping myself from sleep tonight. I will be flying for 16 hours straight to Tokyo, and want to be ready to go upon arrival.
Please keep me in your prayers as I embark upon this adventure of epic proportions. I am excited about the travels that await me.
Off to "26 hours in Tokyo!" Sound like a good name for an indie-pop band's debut album? You decide.

ReplyDeleteI had no idea. Last I heard you were in captivity eating cat food. We sent a grand to get you out, and then you leave us for two months before saying goodbye? Wanna rendezvous with us in Greece, Sweden or Nice?
ReplyDeleteSafe travels, Matt. We'll be following you. And you will most definitely be in our prayers.

you're actually heading west but whose keeping track.
ReplyDeleteMatthew, AMERICA misses you already.....I HOPE you have your ANTHEM song with you in case you get homesick.
ReplyDeleteDan Gannon and I send our regards and prayers from Holland, MI. I'd follow you anywhere, even as you travel west to get to The East.
ReplyDeleteMatthew, your family is so thankful that you have landed safely and called -- at 5:04 a.m. even! :-)
