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…

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…
