Finding A Way: Making It Up As I Go
Read more: Finding A Way: Making It Up As I GoLeaving Cody, WY was an easy enough choice. I wanted to spend multiple days there but it would have required camping, which was pretty expensive unless I camped rough on BLM land. I moved somewhat randomly through Grey Bull and Worland before getting gas in Ten Sleep, a tiny town that is keeping alive with a brewery and outdoor activities.…

Trailer Trash: life on the road, living out of a metal box
Read more: Trailer Trash: life on the road, living out of a metal boxIt’s funny, but the day-to-day of my life seems pretty mundane: it’s not quite monotonous, but it’s predictable. Then when I sit down to do a blog post I realize a huge amount of stuff has happened and I can’t imagine doing the story justice with only 1,500 words. I’m in Denver right now, in a high-rise apartment overlooking downtown.…

Viva Mexico: Leaving The Land of Tacos
Read more: Viva Mexico: Leaving The Land of TacosWow. This bastard blog page just dumped my finished blog and failed to autosave anything except an early draft? That’s six hours I won’t get back, and that I won’t recreate either. WordPress just made their last mistake for me. I’ll be migrating to a new platform, since the site has been removing features that I want for years now,…

Baja Bound: thoughts after a few weeks of listening to the waves
Read more: Baja Bound: thoughts after a few weeks of listening to the wavesI hope you like pictures of tacos. After months of delays and planning I got most of my ducks in a row for my trip down to Baja, California, Mexico. After a little over two weeks I can say it’s just what I needed. I had to leave a few loose ends up there in America, but very little stress…

“It Will Get Worse Before It Gets Worse”
Read more: “It Will Get Worse Before It Gets Worse”Well, 2021 ended in flames. Like a slow motion scene in a horror movie, it was one bad move after the next. After being unceremoniously dumped by my girlfriend/best friend of six-and-a-half years I suddenly had absolutely nothing grounding me to reality. All the plans– short, medium, and long-term– were out the window. Hell, there was no window. I wallowed…

Of Rough Seas And Deserted Horizons
Read more: Of Rough Seas And Deserted HorizonsI’m sitting here and looking back at 2021 to decide how my 2022 should look. In looking back though I see a tremendous cascade of bad luck, failed attempts, and mistreatment that has led me to one of the lowest points in my life. Now, I’m not a “new year, new me” kind of person. If you want to change,…

I’ve Published a Few Pieces
Read more: I’ve Published a Few PiecesYes, nothing has been here on the blog or newsletter in many months, but that’s because I’ve been working on other things. See, this page doesn’t make me money, and when I write for pleasure I do it on a typewriter, not here. But just because things are quiet here doesn’t mean I haven’t been up to stuff. The main…

Looking Back To See Forward
Read more: Looking Back To See ForwardI like to do a yearly post, for myself more than anything. Putting it up online makes it more concrete though: I reflect on the previous year’s post and decide what the year ahead should look like. I can see if I was on track or veered away by reading the previous post, and it gives me a clear idea…

Why Things Have Been Quiet Here
Read more: Why Things Have Been Quiet HereJust a quick reminder that the blog here isn’t active because I’ve been on a multi-month road trip with my girlfriend, and all my work has been posted on our travel blog, 2hearts1horizon. Go there to check out what we’ve been up to and sign up for the weekly email there. It’s also a good place to find the social…
