    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

    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…

  • TynanTV Episode 1!

    I bet you didn’t know that I was going to have video posts. I didn’t either. Todd and I made some funny videos on the way up to Houston this weekend, so I figured I’d smoosh them in with the PRK video and make a little episode out of it. I plan on making more…

  • How to Live in Austin, Texas

    Yesterday I spent all day putting my new solar panel on the RV. Two weeks ago I got the panel in the mail and I called Crestview RV (a local RV place in Austin) to get it installed. They said it would be about $200, but that they were backed up and it would have…
