Well, I’ve never been to Spain…

Know what I like to do?  I like to walk.  I’ve known this ever since I was a young kid growing up in the hills of Fairfield, Oklahoma (Google it).  At the time, living in a small community 6 miles outside of the nearest town was just life.  If you wanted to go grocery shopping, you hopped in the car while Mom drove you in.  If you wanted to go see a friend, you either waited until someone had a birthday party, waited until the school year started, or waited until you were able to semi-legally drive.  Because of this, the best way to keep yourself busy was to go outside and play.   Continue reading

Speed Flying….hopefully soon

Every once in a while, it’s easy to get caught up in life, to forget where one’s priorities were, and to simply think “Eh, I’ll do it later.”  For that, I apologize for the delay in any sort of post.  My trip to Australia was fantastic, but only fueled my desire for more adventure.  Thankfully, a friend forwarded me a link to something called “speed flying.”  Oh boy… Continue reading

Australia 2010 – Cairns

I couldn’t resist the title.

Before I really get into anything about Cairns, I first need to say how awesome Qantas is as an airline.  During the international flight, we of course had a few meals, snacks, and drinks.  This seems to be pretty standard for everything now, but now that I am on a domestic flight (yes, on the plane as I’m writing this section), I realize how incredible Qantas really is.  On a 3 hours flight, which isn’t at all uncommon in the U.S., they have your standard drinks available, plus an in-flight movie.  In addition, we had a full meal, followed by…ice cream.  I was completely floored and wished that they had regular flights in the U.S.  Ok, now that I said that, on to Cairns!

Sydney 2010!

Sydney Opera House

Well by now, you probably know that I am no longer stateside.  In fact, I am no longer in the U.S.  On top of that, I’m not even in the Northern Hemisphere.  In the effort to keep the adventure going, this year I decided to scratch off one of my bucket list items and head down under for some real adventure.  So far, Australia does not disappoint.

Beer inspired

There comes a time in life when drastic measures need to be taken.

You know that edgy, what the fuck am I doing with my life feeling. It’s like you know there are endless possibilities and your current, lacking condition is the only thing holding you back. For some unknown reason you still feel tied to or responsible for some occupation you know will never give you the rush and satisfaction you need but you just keep doing it. “I want to do” is what you hear coming out of your mouth and others, it resonates in the ears and hearts of those around you, “what if…”

This is the state of mind that, for some makes them crawl back into their shell chanting “If I just hold out a little longer then I will attain my dreams”.  For others it is the waking of the beast, the freedom call of the wild, I can! Continue reading
