So, I'm back in Athens, readying to go under the grind again. I have very mixed feelings about being back. On one hand, I've really missed all of my friends and the stability of sliding into some sort of routine, but on the other hand, I was enjoying what seemed like spontaneous living and just enjoying life, etc. I'm also just the teensiest bit ( Read more... )

This update should come as a surprise. For warning, I don't have any idea how to change to this lettering if the alphabet should somehow be switched to cyrillic. The trip is amazing. I'll have story upon story to relate when/if I ever get back. The if is a distinct possibility considering a typhoon was headed up the coast last time I checked ( Read more... )

This trip has been fucking incredible, and I'll be sorry when it ends tomorrow. Time to once again run along on the endless hamster wheel that society sets before us. Thus ends any intelligence within this post, as usual. I've never had someone try to get me drunk before, but she is getting quite close to succeeding. For the third time in 8 ( Read more... )

I'm in Gardiner, Wyoming, just inside of Yellowstone right now, and the trip is still a blast! I'm paying for this, so it will be short :-) I love all of these places and I'm somewhat glad we're in a drought because we haven't had a day of rain since we left the SE. I want to live in Flagstaff, Portland, and San Fran. Now. I have to run! I'll ( Read more... )

Skinny dipping in the Atlantic Ocean, playing with the bio luminescence in the waves, and watching some of the most incredible stars I've ever seen. It was aboput as close to perfect as you can get. It would have been nicer to have someone 'special' to share it with other than about 20 people, most of whom I met only 5 days ago, but it was still ( Read more... )

The trip rocks so far!! It is so much fun and so amazing. It absolutely poured rain the first night. I was soaking wet and the rain and winds beat my tent all night long, not to mention the tremendous thunder and lightening. We're at Sapelo island right now, in some (thankfully!) air conditioned dorms and I've just gotten back from the beach, ( Read more... )

Having one of those "lets go backpacking in Wyoming and never come back" moments where I wonder why there seems to be societal pressure to 'make something' of your life, and why the hell should I care. Life is to be lived. Should I care if I contribute somthing to humanity? Should I care if I make enough money to be financially "stable"? Should ( Read more... )
