A Ramble
I haven’t been super motivated to write here for the past two weeks. I started two posts, got sick of them, and now they’re sitting as drafts. One’s about having even less stuff and the other is about radical honesty. Maybe I’ll finish soon. Instead I’ll just write about what’s on my mind, because otherwise…

How to Have an Interesting Life
EDIT: Welcome, StumbleUpon users! Thanks for checking out my site. A while back someone e-mailed me and asked me how I had so many interesting experiences in my life. I meant to write him back, but couldn’t find the e-mail. First of all, what constitutes an interesting life? Do we care if OTHER people think…

Understanding Pickup
Mystery’s show on VH1, The Pickup Artist, has gotten a lot of mainstream attention. As a result there are scores of people in that audience trying to wrap their minds around this whole “pick up thing”. I’ve read a few message boards where people are discussing the show, and almost universally trying to discredit the…

The Running Bets
I like to bet. For those of you who have read the story about how I was a professional gambler, this is obvious. What I don’t like to do is exercise. At one point in my life, these two activities joined to provide an interesting story. I have a friend named Hayden. He likes to…

Behind the Scenes with Tax Protestors Ed and Elaine Brown
He doesn’t like to call it a compound, so I won’t. It does have 10 inch thick concrete walls, though. When I heard that Ed Brown was allowing visitors to his “home” in New Hampshire, I had to visit. Ed and Elaine Brown are a pair of famous tax protestors who are evading arrest in…

Childhood Memories
It’s a dangerous night to be walking outside. Not for me, but for the tiny little frogs that dot the gravel road. I swish my overpowered Surefire flashlight across the dark gravel trying to avoid stepping on them. When I get close they freeze in their tracks, making them harder to see. This would be…

The Open Road II
I’ve made it up to Maine. The RV has performed perfectly, and we’re even getting 13mpg. I was expecting more like 10-11. Here’s what I’ve done so far: I hung out in NY with Ross Jeffries and Jlaix, who both just happened to be in town at the same time. While I was there I…

The Open Road
I’m lying in bed in the RV right now. Yes, I still live here and love it, but that’s another story. The only difference between tonight and a normal night is that my bed is flying down the highway at 60mph, headed for the east coast. My esteem friends and colleagues, Jonah and Krystal, are…

Life Nomadic
For a long time now I’ve wanted to be a PT, or Perpetual Traveler. My recent massive simplification has been a step in the right direction. I used to have too much stuff to even consider going on the road. Living in the RV has been another leap towards PT. But first… why be a…

Tazeroke!
Every Wednesday Doug (a.k.a. DJ Doug) and I host Karaoke at a club called Firehouse Lounge in Austin, TX. The main reason I do it is because I love doing gangsta rap songs at Karaoke, and if I’m a host I get to sing more. Plus all of our friends come, so it’s a really…
