A Long Way Down

November 25, 2009 By 1 Comment

I love road trips. I really, surely, do. I like doing them with other people, but my friends aren’t as willing as I am to drop everything, quit their jobs, sell their stuff, and hit the road for an indefinite period of time in an unknown direction. They’re all Oh, I have to pay rent, [...]

Life Goals and Pulled Pork

October 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment

My loyal readers may remember a post from a while ago, where I explored my innermost feelings on being asked what my “plan” for the “future” was.

What a difference a continent makes
