And the Lime Blazes

I have eight days, six hours, and eighteen minutes until I depart for London.

My body aches, I don’t even have luggage, but I still feel like I’m ready.

And why shouldn’t I feel ready? I’ve been preparing my entire life for this role. All the hours in my youth spent perfecting my best British English accent will not have been in vain, because in eight days, six hours, and fifteen minutes I will be in the United Kingdom.

My parents too have been preparing me since birth, whittling away at my naiveté and opening my mind to the cultures of the world. However, they can only coach me; they cannot play my part. They are not leaving for London in eight days, six hours, and eleven minutes.

To chip away from the confines of the “reducing valve” to thought that is language, I will start a vlog to document my travels and travails across Europe in a more human fashion. I hope you’ll have as much fun as I plan to! If you wish to get to me, the best method will be Skype with the user name daniel.lynch.iii. It would be great to hear from you.

A character with a killer personality once said, “Most actors toil in obscurity, never reaching the spotlight, but if you hone your craft, work diligently, you might just find yourself cast in the role of a lifetime.”

I now have eight days, six hours, and one minute until I mount the stage and begin my adventure.
