I have been neglecting this blog and several other areas of my life over the past few months. I am posting part of an email to my friend Chris which gives the interested reader a small peephole into what's going on lately.
Chris,
Linked dat.
I want to visit you and Shelly and the nascent, mysterious Mike sometime in the new year. I have so many plans that need to get underway, and it's so hard to make them all happen. Adventures are smart indeed. I have some big things rolling around in the ol' skull right now. Here's a brief list:
Get rid of most of my possessions
Give my car to my family
Quit my job
Acquire warm clothes for winter biking/walking
Finish the Points North record, hopefully being a major accomplishment of my life to date
Be shiftless, yet productive? Happy?
Be happier.
Dumpster more; eat more.
Not get eaten by alligators in the Everglades
Hitch/bike Phlorida Keez (see above)
Eurotrip (may-june?)
Start a collective house in Worcester (Reject Club?)
New tat. Soon.
I am doing well enough and am increasingly excited but at the same time I have a nagging and a longing that is hard to describe, let alone make subside. I find myself easily overwhelmed. I think forgoing my routines and stepping away from my comfort zone in these afore-mentioned major ways might allow me to find some more peace in my life.
--Personal life details omitted--
You are right. I have been neglecting my blog, and I think that exclusive "travel blogs" are hella bourgeois and lame. That's what Outside Magazine is for right? I'll try to stay on top of it. Keep in touch.
Your friend,
Dylan
