on the shore of this uncharted desert isle...

I decided that I hate driving in florida.
All the drivers are terrible.
The roads suck.
Mapquest is out to get me.
Its a sad situation.
And I have to drive a lot for my job- in addition to a killer commute- no good.

So I have decided that the next place I move should be free of cars. Or at least me driving them. But I would prefer the entirely free of cars option.
This is my idea: I think I am going to buy an island.
I could go here, or here...
WikiHow has a nice little how-to guide that might guide me in the right direction.

See! Its not a pipe dream!
I could actually do it.

And don't worry. I'll have a special little area of hammocks that fellow nomads can use if they happen-by.

If I were a little girl and I found a python...

I'm not sure if this was a good idea.

What would your reaction be if you discovered a 10 foot (~ 3 meters) python in your koi pond? Would you jump in and try to catch it yourself? Not this girl. But I guess some people have a little more 'crocodile hunter' in them than others.

Feeling generous?

This belongs to a friend of mine.

rumors

Its funny how far they perpetuate before someone fact-checks.

... makes no difference who you are...

I wonder if I will ever find a place in the world that is devoid of sleazy men. I haven't found one so far. Some places seem to have a higher concentration- or maybe they are more vocal- but they seem to exist everywhere.

I would like to know what is going on inside their sleazy minds... What do they think their actions will result in? Do they honestly think that whistling (or hissing, or whatever the cultural norm) on the street will elicit a dinner invitation? Do they think that getting your attention while stuck in traffic will result in you abandoning your car and hopping into theirs? Groping you in a crowded market cause you to fall madly in love? Hollering often unintelligable phrases in your direction cause you to agree to be their wife?

What is the benevolent agenda? Or is there one at all? Is it a simple subconsious reaction?

I would love to hear opinions on this topic- or sleazy men stories- they are fun too.

the midwest farmers daughters really make you feel alright

in the middle of a work conversation- a woman who I have not yet met in person asked me- "are you from wisconsin?" I replied "Minnesota... can you tell?" She said "Yes- but thats not a bad thing!"
I was sad.

At least they didn't ask me if I was from Fargo...

Hey! I think my GEOLOC is finally working. I was starting to think I was the only one who read this...

I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

Just because I am kind of an "adult" now- doesn't mean I have to act like a grown-up, right? What is wrong with bouncing from place to place for a while- seeking adventure, fun, impact, and bettering yourself and the world. A-whole-lot-o-nothin'-- thats whats wrong.

Yes, there is comfort in consistency. Yes, its nice to be able to relax, know that you are stable: job, home, little dinero. But then your traveling foot starts itching- and its not itching for England or Idaho- nope. Its itching for something new, something different, something adventerous.

So: find a new place, a new opportunity, stay until you have finished your task, then move on.

... I want it more than I can tell.

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF RAMADAN, WORLD!
