feeling pretty smart

i think it's pretty true that you can't be wise and be in love at the same time. i also think it's pretty true that you're not a real man until you own a good truck.

i never want to get married

dream on

today i found an electric toothbrush gift i never opened on xmas.

my dad read my mind and is bringing me sushi when he gets off of work. he will most likely give me advice no.847 on running a business. i can't stop thinking about advice no.842: remember that one customer = ten. if you do well, you'll get ten more. if you do wrong, you'll get ten less.

i feel rash.
i'm going to get rid of everything. i just want what i need.

and do i really have to go back to school?

santa fe

my trip has been really amazing so far! i am staying at the santa fe int'l hostel and have met some really lovely girls out here. it's been hard doing 'school work' because i am realizing there is not much here i'd like to take back with me in the camera, but i am having a good time being with other people who like the road. we went to las vegas, nm yesterday for the hot springs and had an intense dinner there. everyone is just so nice and i am addicted to seeing everything. seeing all the brown houses, red dirt, dust on snow, big mountains, empty sky, and mean sun.



it's off season here so the plaza is pretty empty on weekends, and the towns people seem bored. there have been some people here that act like it's not so good to be from out of town. but there are also the kind that are use to all sorts of people moving in and loving santa fe for the long trail. it's hard to just stay in santa fe. i want to go to taos, truchas and abiquiu before i leave.


we will just have to see because i have a couple of days left before i go back home and then back to school. i am trying to manage how i'll do all the things i want to do when im at home also. but my head is in the now which means dinner and greeting annie and raymond when they get here!



cooper is stuck in idaho trapped by loud winter, but it will be great to see him when i am do- there are just so many things to be excited about! ah, the world as my big experiment, i love it!

burger! you are casting your spell on me

i've been doing poorly on my raw food diet, or rather i haven't even started. i think it's because i love sandwiches too much.

i've also acquired a sprained ankle that has left me bed ridden. my mother brought me crutches! my body has turned into soft foods such as mash potatoes, lentil soup, and creamed spinach. im hungryyyy.

see you at my father's office for the best burger of my life!

today i wanted to quench the thirst of everything, right down to the dust. but the rain is ahead of me, and i've got ordinary errands to run. i don't want to return to school, and i've been meaning to read more.

my ride with napoleon to l.a. was amazing. after it all, he took me out for noodle planet, boba and ice cream sandwiches in westwood. it was an overload, but then we made a pack to pursue a raw food diet starting today.

santa fe is near and i'm sad to have missed mexico. i hope there is time to catch up with all the greats out here.
