Where, Why, How? (Part 2#) |
|
Where, have you been? 40,000 miles, 332 rides and 0$ ago I sat on a bridge in Mexico overlooking an intimidating landscape of concrete jungle and per ma smog and pondered another insane challenge I had joyfully composed for myself while in one of my highly productive daydreaming episodes. From our starting point on the Mexico/California border I would soon put everything I could conjure into hitchhiking a jagged circle around all of North and South America and beyond. Our ultimate goal being to document the adventure utilizing a few select tools, a load of faith in human nature and our ability to overcome any obstacle this world could invoke on our behalf. While it would be impossible to fairly represent the last years travels in one succinct little paragraph, I would like to encourage all of you new readers to catch up by reading some of the now archived stories that took place through 2008. For those of you that have been following along for awhile now, please click below on the (Read More) button and we will take a closer look at some of the behind the scenes action that has made this project possible. |

Where, Why, How? (Part 1#) |

The concept of self mastery to me is divine and remains one of the only things that has ever unequivocally made complete sense to me. With this sense I have aspired to live in a fashion that allows me to transcend the shallows that can lead cattle to dirty water. In response to the simple trap before me I chose to create my own unique reality, this new reality allows me to pursue clean water at my own pace. It is likely that you are here at this very moment because I have said something that resonates with your own conscious desire to evolve and discover a new way to nurture your own personal escape plan, hey maybe we can help push you over the edge?
The next couple of weeks we will be catching you up on some of our thoughts and experiences of the last 12 months, I will do my best to answer the plethora of questions revolving around the whys, where's and hows that brought me to the retrospective interval I am currently enjoying before introducing the next big Dirty Mule adventure.
Why, would you feel the need to make a movie about traveling with no money? |

Due to five Beautiful days of rain in Northern Virginia some of our computer gear has unfortunately taken on moisture. Regardless of precautionary measures that are "almost" always in effect my posts have been, well; non existent, as so many of you have so diligently noticed. Just to be clear I am alive and well, the computer is
now fixed and we will continue our adventures as planned. As a side note; I have received an overwhelming quantity of emails from loyal readers out there. I would love nothing more than to respond to each one individually as I have tried to do in the past. Time simply has not allowed me that opportunity and on that note, "no pun intended" Please forgive my recent silence. A very special thanks and three very big hugs go out to Regina Smith, Dara Jezierny and Colette Henderson for stepping up and saving the day. Someday I hope to repay your kindness ten fold but in the meantime lets leave it to Karma, bless you all.

I opened the door of the idling 18 wheeler I had spent my last two days in and jumped with purpose from the lip of the frame. As I descended I scanned my surroundings and visualized my exact position on earth as it would appear to a great eye in the sky. On landing, a quick thought about how small I really am and how nothing really
means anything anyway rips quickly through my head. |

I have always been a fan of spice. When an adequately trained cullenist puts a delicate touch to a dish, it can sharpen humble food into a masterwork fit for kings and queens, which of course I am in my naive imagination. At least some days I am, and others...well, some days must simply be marked "other," a lame attempt at salvaging my drunken dreams of faultless nutriment. This weeks escapades were to be nearly faultless, except that to my wonderment I find myself refined like a simple sauce and served up as the dish of the day. Of course, all respects to the chefs, but I felt as though the flavoring used in this masterwork was although perfectly paired to the main course, a tad heavily spiced for my refined tastes. |
