Uncle Paranoid travels to Africa!
'Twas a long, impoverished weekend, darkened only by Kansas' loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday afternoon. However, there was some exciting and joyous news. I am now an uncle! My brother and his fiancee had a baby girl on Friday night, which is simultaneously exciting and terrifying. I am excited for my brother, as he has done a tremendous job putting his life together in the last year. I won't get into the details, but suffice it to say that I am VERY proud of him. He has become a man almost overnight.Those thieves at the NYTimes stole my blog entry idea. I had a great idea to talk about how Kansas has been in the news on an almost daily basis recently (not including sports stories or the crossword), but some scoundrel in the Week In Review section apparently read my thoughts and beat me to it. If only the Internet were working at my apartment! (Click here to read what you should have read on this blog.)
On a less delusional note, I'm getting ready for my first international conference with Aiesec! But, having never been to an Expros, I was wondering if any of you can give me tips. I'm impressed (and excited) that so many people have commented on my blog so far, so I'd like to put you to work. What should I bring with me? What should I expect? Any advice from those of you who have been to loads of international conferences? Please comment below...and hopefully I'll see some of you in Kenya!

Invest in Jack Daniels, bring Aiesec US t-shirts and let God sort the rest.
Don't come back.
Jack Daniels or SoCo, Spray Cheese, Oreo Cookies for a "typical" American shot. Keep the dream alive!
Oh, and wear lots & lots of gold jewelry and drape a big american flag around your body at all times.
