The introduction

What an amazing time that 7 days was. Images burned into my memories forever. It was a magical time and I got to spend time with most of the people that hold the greatest amount of my heart. I've never thought as simple as going out of the country can change how you see and feel. Sure glad I got a passport.

"The water was glassy, similar to a mirror. The suns reflection burned my eyes but the tears were of happiness not pain. We sailed past lands end and towards the marina. As the ship entered the harbor a salty smell from The Sea of Cortez crept into my nose. A scent that brought back a rush of memories from the past. A smell that I knew, but that was unfamiliar. At that moment I knew I would not stop these expeditions.  It had become a part of me that I needed, and would long for until I traveled next."

What an experience. I was breathless and paralyzed at some times and others a wild beast lashing out against my bindings. My home is this earth. Just like a cat in a house. I must mark my territory and know every part of it.  

So it begins. 

Food to devour

I'm not vegan. I kill animals and eat them. But I tried something the other day that opened my eyes to a whole nuther way of thinking.

Chanterelles, Swiss chard, safflower oil, garlic, salt and pepper. 

Blew my mind. So good. Highly recommended. 

Fucking Phantastic

These past weeks have been something close to bliss. Really good people, new people. Unattaching myself from loose ends and unsure anything. "I should have done Movember."  I am truly looking forward to what the next few months have in store. Two big trips. Two parts of my life. Maybe something long lost will be found in the southern parts of the

Americas. What a feeling, that rush of 

excitement, the unknown feeling you will have towards the unknown when it's discovered. What more could you want but to be introduced to new ideas, sights, sounds, smells. It's like seeing again for the first time. Come at me traveling, I'm ready. 

Annique is a French name

I met a woman nearly a year ago and had good and bad times with her.  The first time I realized I didn't want to be with her, but damn her body was amazing. As John Mayer would say," your body is a wonderland!"  We split went separate ways but then we came together for a second try.  Didn't work.  She was too controlling and I want to live without constraints.  Only constraints I wan or need are the ones that are put on me by my class, status, age, experience, etc. She was looking for love that she could count on to be there for her at anytime anywhere.  That wasn't me.  Then the awkward period of trying to keep her as a friend, which never works, and I made some mistakes and she made some stupid decisions.  All things In perspective it's for our best that it is finished.  I'm done with her.  I just needed to figure it out.   

Thanks Annique,

Good luck on your journey.
