First Post

Greetings... this first post is an opportunity for me to introduce myself and some of the things i hope to talk about here. I certainly invite others to suggest topics for discussion.

My name is John. Apuuli is a name that I received when I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Uganda. It is a nickname called an empako, which are used in greetings in the western part of the country.

My interests include architecture and urban planning, which i am pursuing as a new career track, religion/spirituality, politics and philosophy as topics of discussion, and the well-being of humankind in general, with particular interest in Africa.

My posts will not be put up hourly, or even daily, but whenever i am moved to write about something. And i do take requests... i have at least one opinion on everything.

Any requests?
