preview of upcoming entry
Its been a long CRAZY time since my last entry.
I dont feel like writing now because the crazyness has yet to end. It should be all settled by tuesday.
Here's a little preview:
Cameroonian baby is born, I am chosen as his God-father (and his parents name him after me which means he is Allen the 4th and I dont have to name my first son Allen!).
Tales from a week spent in the village of all villages
My first experience teaching (involved me teaching and performing a song by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre to a class of 10th grade Cameroonian village kids)
Watching a mob of people attack some guy, police pull out guns.
Catching a man in the act of pick pocketing me at a train station, screaming at him, and then watching him get attacked by security guards.
Getting scammed for 5000 francs (10 bucks)
Riding in a Cameroonian train.
Thanksgiving CAMEROONIAN style
and last but not least A MAJOR CHANGE IS TAKING PLACE for me (details to come)...
Stay tuned

More input Al, we need more input. We are looking forward to the details.
As Allen number one, or as Allen Sr, being a Godfather to a kid named Allen doesn't count in the hiearchy. It does not make him a heir apparent unless the kid is part of our bloodline. You haven't been in Cameroon long enough to be a party to that kid's parental lineage. Hope I live long enough to see an Allen number four.
Take care, we are freezing our butts off today.

Si j'ai bien compte, il devrait y avoir 9 paragraphes avec des sujets differents! Tu as interet a developper tout ce que tu annonces et c'est sans compter les photos, surtout celle du bebe dans les bras de son parrain car je crois que ton grand-pere veut l'encadrer!
Bon courage et a la prochaine!

Happy Thanksgiving Allen! I know it's a little late, but the holidays are upon us and I see your time is a going to be a bit different than here in the States. To me, that's a good thing because I look forward to reading your adventures all the time--it wouldn't be exciting if you were just eating turkey instead of raising kids and being robbed. I really hope all is well, and that you are happy. I can't wait to read the crazy entry of craziness that is to come!
love,
Julie
you bloody tease!!!
more!
well???????
Allen, Maybe I'm friggen drunk, or maybe I miss you, but you are genius. I am sorry to write again, but I think so much of you and you are an Incredible writer and I heard through the grape vine that you are moving to a village, but keep writing if you can because, I'm sorry to toot your horn but you are incredible. I think you are doing something wonderful!
love,
Julie
allen, wtf man. post the damn entry
Soooooo not cool Al....you're leaving us all hanging.
Okay Al... Your grandparents no longer have the expected lifespan of a 24-year old. We are in the winter of our lives and time is running out. Stop with the suspense. Need more input Al, need more input.
