First!

I feel like I am a decade behind, waiting to create a Blog until now. Like an old person, too stubborn to try something new, even when it long ceased to be new. Ah well, now that I have found a use for it I might jump on the bandwagon and start to use this long after my trip is over.

When I was creating the title, I didn't want it to be something lame and generic like "Peter's Eurotrip" or "Travel blog", so I went to the trusty old standby--names of Nine Inch Nails songs. There were a few different ones that seemed quite fitting, the finalists included: Another Version of the Truth, In This Twilight, Just Like You Imagined, Lights in the Sky, The Becoming, The Line Begins to Blur, and Underneath It All. Besides being extremely cool in the 300 trailer, it wasn't too dramatic or lame. It'll do for now.

The main use of this blog is going to be to keep the family and friends updated on my travels, as well as serve as a reminder for me of all the good times (and possibly, the bad). I'm not sure if there is a way to subscribe to this, or if I am going to have to e-mail out to everyone after each post. Conveniently, this website (Blogsite/Blogger.com) is linked to Google! I wonder if there is anything left that they haven't bought. Picasa (also owned by Google) is going to be where I post my pictures, and I will link to them here. Or if I can figure out how to get it to work, I'll embed some images on here to make the blog look prettier.
