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…

If I Were President
Just for fun, here are all of my political views. I’m not super into politics at all – in fact before Bush started screwing everything up, I had zero interest in them. I definitely haven’t done enough research to have definitive stances on most of these things, so take them with a grain of salt.…

Casino Night
“No tie.” I laugh. It’s the annual casino night at my college dorm. I’m dressed up more than usual – I’m wearing a blazer. Today it’s more function than form, though. The ticket taker isn’t laughing, though. “No tie.” I glance around. The cafeteria lady is watching us intently. A police officer is also watching.…

The Hospital Visit
I was in the hospital a couple weeks ago. Not because I was sick. Nay – I’m a vegan superhero. I had the privelege of observing an actual surgery! I won’t go into details as to how this was arranged, but it’s one of those things that I’ve always wanted to see in person. Although…

Survival of the Fittest
We wanted to go to yard sales to furnish our new dorm. We were going to be freshman at UT and we were determined to have a cool dorm room. The problem is that, like other freshmen, we were prone to sleeping late. Getting up at 6am was nigh impossible. The solution, of course, is…

Amazing Insignificant Events
Twenty Seven thousand fans are packed into Red Rock, one of the best music venues in the world. The arena is carved from a mountain of giant red rocks. The sold out crowd is watching Ben Folds rock out on the piano. I emerge from a backstage hallway right next to the front of the…

A Book, A Blog, A Podcast
First – let me get this out of the way : I fed a squirrel. I saw a bunch of squirrels so I went back to the RV and got some almonds. I put one in my hand and sat around forever, and finally a squirrel came and ate it. It was the cutest thing…
