A Slice of Humble Pie (Raw, of course)
For those who know me… well, even for people don’t, it will come as no surprise when I say that I’m not a very humble person. I’m awesome, I’m aware of it, and I have no qualms making others aware of it. I pride myself on being self sufficient, and am generally of the opinion…

Why I’m Done with Mercedes Benz of Austin
A quick background – I love Mercedes cars. As a kid my dad had one for a few years (incidentally, he hated it) and I always liked riding it. When we went to the dealership I would be drawn in by the pro-Mercedes anti-BMW propaganda. When I bought my first car with my own money,…

Jumping the Freight Trains
Today’s story is dedicated to my good friend Austin. I moved from Boston to Austin my freshman year of high school and of course had no friends here. On the very first day I made friends with the people who remain my best friends to this day, and I consider that to be perhaps the…

Boston
I’m heading out to Boston for a few days, starting today. What does that mean to you? It means that I’ll probably be lazy with updates because I just had to buy the world’s smallest laptop. It’s extremely portable, of course, but is also nearly impossible to type long posts on. Nevertheless, I’m going to…

Working out for Wimps
Are you interested in working out, but have no idea how? That’s where I was until a year and a half ago. I avoided the gym because I was so clueless about what to do there that I didn’t want to make a fool of myself. Looking information on the internet is almost pointless, because…

The Great American School Bus Conversion: Part 2
I was just thinking about fifteen minutes ago, “I don’t think I’ve ever personally used the word foist before”. Not that I remember every word I’ve said, necessarily, but I think I’d remember if I said foist. Today I resolve to use the word foist at least once in a natural context – so watch…

Raw Food Update #1
Hola, Jovenes. I recently switched over to a primarily raw food diet. I’ve since modified it to include Ezekiel products. Why? Because a) they’re awesome and b) I don’t yet have my dehydrator, so there’s no other bread products I can eat. Poor me. Since I switched over, the polyphasic sleep schedule has been going…

How to Be Happy. Always.
Ok folks… I’m gonna break it down for you Dr. Phil style today, and talk about happiness. Now, first of all – I don’t see why happiness is always priority number one. “Do whatever makes you happy”, they say. “Yeah, but is she HAPPY?”. Who says this is the holy grail? Personally, I think giving…

How I Became a Professional Gambler
I had never gambled before and knew nothing about it, but I’d gotten too many e-mails like it. I was at my parents house for winter break during my first year at UT, and I was bored. “Free $50 just for downloading our casino!” Hmm. That doesn’t seem very risky. I might as well download…
