row row row your boat while you still can...







In roughly 5 weeks time there has been little to no change on the situation in the Gulf of Mexico concerning BP's disaster of managing an oil drilling operation. I've heard several things but I've read just as many and a general consensus is that BP claimed that there was only 5,000 gallons of oil gushing daily, so don't freeaakk the fuck out it's only 5,000 gallons of oil a day. But chances are it's upwards of 6 million gallons of oil out there just ready to fuck shit up. I don't know about you, but this shit still pisses me off man. This week Obama finally had some motherfuckers go check it out and look at what its like. Granted, there are no instilled provisions of preventing such a catastrophe, so don't worry about cleaning that shit up. Right? I mean WTF are we doing? Louisiana isn't even that worried (government officials anyway) about stopping off shore drilling anytime soon. How much is it going to take to figure out that oil is not such a good thing? We probably could use something else by now, I don't get it man. I just don't know man, I just don't know...

row, row, row your boat

listenhere.

May 22nd, 2010. Still have no plans for this summer, i have some ideas but nothing is set in stone ya know. Having no commitments means I have the ability to do whatsoever I please, which is pretty awesome. Although I've come to terms with this awesomeness it's beginning to dawn on me how much longer it will be like this (it's been about a year, now). I've done a lot of wondering but not a lot of wandering, and I know what time it is. Still hasn't really hit me that I have no clue when I will be back in Virginia again after this summer. I've got about two and a half months to have as much fun and save as much money as possible, or two and a half months to try and balance those two things... Oh, an interesting site I found today: thunderbolts.info --it's really got some cool things, and enough to have you thinking about it all for quite awhile, i'm sure. Gonna be in the OBX for about a week here shortly, looking forward to that. All Good is coming up, that should be a lot of fun. Oh, yeah if you haven't ever heard of GrooveShark, you should check it out, it's pretty nifty. As much as good as technology does and is so-called "good for" I often wonder if the pros outweigh the cons. Maybe I'm just too nomadic to know. Or wish that I was. Who knows? I'm going to block party. I love my dog. & cat. Over the course of having this blog I've come to a conclusion that people might actually read this shit, if you're reading this now you should go do something you've always wanted to do, because that's what I'm about to do. People everywhere are doing it, it's something everybody should and can do: pursue happiness; whatever happiness is for you, obtain it, cherish it, live with it, what more can you do?

what's happenin'!?

Didn't get accepted to Colorado State, go figure... my performance academically wasn't exactly at its greatest the last year I was at VCU. So, I'm off in search of new horizons. There are endless possibilities as to what I can do, or so it seems, so as soon as I figure out what it is that I want to do and am going to do, I'll do that. And maybe I'll tell you or maybe I won't... Happy Mother's Day

What doesn't that equal?

I was elated to find these events documented and for the world to see on YouTube. It'd be a shame for people not to be able to see those videos. I have been playing my banjo more these days, minus a sprained wrist it's more fun than ever. I'm really getting into the tone, it feels great. Once my wrist heals I'm probably going to be spending a lot of time with my banjo hangin' on my shoulder. Couldn't be happier about that. I've also been reading a lot of naturalist writings, including a whole bunch of works by John Muir. Also, I've been reading guides of birds, trees, insects, edible plants, etc., etc.; the most important thing being that I now have an atlas of the entire United States of America and intend on using it to its fullest potential this summer. I still don't know my exact route or destination, all I know is that it's going to be an adventure of a lifetime.
