Yo ho ho and a bottle of...

When you begin a fascination with pirates, the associations are everywhere. Pirate hats, pirate milkshakes... If you pretend you are a pirate you might also experience a great surge of confidence and intrigue. Lastly, I am adding a fifth "answer" to my previous blog about existential questions. 5. Rum.

10 years ago:
I was living with Sonrisa, listening to Jennifer Knapp and wearing odd thriftstore clothes.

Things on my to-do list today:
See clients, figure out how I'm going to pay my school loans back, go running and enjoy the first day of my last term of grad school.

Three bad habits:
1. forgetting birthdays
2. snapping my gum constantly
3. eating halves of everything and putting the rest back.

If I became a billianaire:
I'd jump up and down, dance around, yell obsenities and then travel till I dropped.

Five jobs I have had:
1. Go-cart operator
2. Bingo concession stand
3. Child case manager
4. Server
5. ESL teacher

Five things you may not know about me:
1. Every movie I like is either set in England, has English actors or utilizes English accents. It is spooky!
2. I want to be a pirate
3. I pretend all of the time
4. I love and hate socializing
5. My biggest fear is being trapped in a boring life

U23D

Amazing. I can't think of any other rock stars I would want to be that close to while they are sweating profusely on stage. How is it possible that Bono is still sexy? And, how are all four of them so fit? Is it the jumping around on stage? Do they build rock walls in Ireland on their days off? Do four Irish men who sing about war, injustice and political freedom really have pesonal trainers?

This year's prediction

Betsy asked me what my prediction for 2008 was, and, unprepared, i didn't know. However, after some reflection and meditation, it has come to me. This is the year of healing and cleansing. Look for it.

Flight of the Conchords

I'm a posting maniac!
Please watch the lil' ol' clip of the most amazing tv show ever - flight of the conchords. Simply scroll on down and prepare to be highly entertained. Please start watching them so I can have a plethora of people to throw quoates back and forth with. I've always wanted to start a movement.

Epiphany

My friend Mary and I took a trip down the ol' california coast recently. Along the way we realized that all of life's oddities can be explained with four statements.
1.Life is wierd
2.People are crazy
3.It's just physics
4.It must be elvish
Seriously, it works. This is going to relieve your existential stress.
I love the beach. I am imaginging myself as a surfing beach bum.

Predictions and predilections

Dylan and I spent five days and four nights treking through the grand tetons in wyoming. Wow. I never knew what beauty lay beyond vast peaks; what is waiting to be discovered by those willing to cross into the wild. I saw amazing glaciers, glacier lakes, waterfalls. I saw a moose in the distance and encountered a bear that walked within ten feet of me. My back hurt from my pack, my feet ached, the nights were bitterly cold, I got tired of eating granola and nuts - but, oh how it was all worth it! I think this excursion has rejuvinated my spirit. I feel a stirring in the wind - promises of good things to come. I just need to realize that sore feet accompany, and eventually lead to, colored horizons.
