Stats, Stares, and Stalkers, OH MY.
First of all, math is the bane of my existence. But if Batman can kick his Bane’s ass, then I can kick mine.
Second - Last day of stats means I finally get to escape the shameless gaze of the creepy chick who always sits a few seats over to the left of me. It’s the most intentional stare I’ve ever had to deal with. I tried looking right back at her, but she doesn’t even look away, so I shrink down in my chair and try to concentrate. I DON’T EVEN LIKE POSTERS STARING AT ME SO THIS IS 100000x WORSE.
Third - while biking to my Geology final, I’m pretty sure I saw my old high school stalker wearing a facial mask (like a dentist). I almost fell off my bike, I was so taken by surprise.
On a less alarming note, bright and early on Monday morning I start my first day on the job as a maintenance worker. Not the most glamorous of summer jobs, but it pays well, and screw glamourous. I get to tear down a dorm complex and learn how to be handy (finally!). Goodness knows I’m a clumsy clums, but I’m super stoked to get dirty/fixy/buildy/maintenance-y. AND THE BEST PART IS I THINK WE GET TO WEAR A TOOL BELT (aka UTILITY BELT!).
Heck yes. Anywhoozles, these are all actually minor things in my life right now, but hey, sometimes it’s good to take a break from the big things and focus on the little things in life, right?
BEST. WEDDING. PHOTO. IDEA. EVER.
oh.
my.
god.

Why Biking 7,000 Miles to Patagonia is Essential for Creative Living
- Jedidiah Jenkins in Global Citizenship and ExplorationIf you need conversation material at parties, I suggest planning a seven thousand mile bike ride. It gives you the ability to talk to anybody. It’s a story that spreads on its own. People will just walk right up to you and ask, “Is it true? Holy shit.”
I just turned 30, and I’ve decided to use this year to radically shape the rest of my life. I am about to leave my job and ride a bicycle for seventeen months, from Oregon to Patagonia. The need to do it (and it really felt like a need) hit me about three years ago when I read a quote from famed naturalist John Muir.
“I am losing precious days. I am degenerating into a machine for making money. I am learning nothing in this trivial world of men. I must break away and get out into the mountains to learn the news.”
Dark Rye’s Escape Ritual #3: Pay attention to John Muir. Wake up like this. It’s good for you. “Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity…”

How to break out of a zip-tie- potentially life-saving information
You guys, please share it. You never know when someone is going to need this information.
PLEASE reblog this— zipties are one of the most common ways of binding a person upon kidnapping because they are cheap and hard to break.
Knowing things like this puts you one step closer to freedom if, heaven forbid, you fall into a situation where you need to use this information.

I don’t want to be
your entire world, no.
I would be happy
just to be your morning coffee,
your hanging car keys,
your wallet.
Something seemingly
insignificant,
but if lost throws off
your entire day.
