1.) Chris Rock quote; “We were so poor my daddy unplugged the clocks when we went to bed.”

2.) This tshirt. (Offensive, sure- but try not to laugh.)

I emailed them and got a response immediately. When you see a giant funky painted motor home rolling down a small town street with a bunch of stuff painted on the side- there’s bound to be something interesting going on or at least some interesting people inside. Sure enough I found there was. These guys happen to be on the search for freedom in America. I travel because I simply love to explore the endless amounts of incredible stuff and interesting people around every corner. Either way we had a connection by wanderlust and I was thrilled to hear back from them.

Poke around their site and check out what they are up to. Whether you agree with what these two young guys are trekking for or not- you’ve got to admire people who take action for what they believe in. They’ve figured out ways to finance their journey and keep their gas tank full by doing what they love. Sweet. Good for you guys. Thanks for the offer to meet up and exchange stories. I hope it happens sometime and oh would we ever have some stuff to talk about. I hope as the miles fly by- you are loving every minute of it. 

Here’s to the open road and wandering the country!

ps: I bought the red shoes 
😉

Hee hee…

Ben and Jerry, you’re always colorful, fun and delicious. Most importantly though…you’re not afraid. We think that is very sweet.

Listen, your writing makes me want to travel more… NOW!. Lately, I have been talking to with a big group of my friends (to include Teresa) about flying to Salzburg, Austria this February. The Mozart Festival is during that month… and I hear there’s no place in the world more beautiful than Salzburg than during their snowstorms. Today, I was telling Teresa outside having coffee… that your work actually moved the trip way up on my list-to-do. Girlfriend… I’m not an easily persuaded gentleman… but your writing did just that. Kudos! And, thanks.

Check out the site and entertain yourself for a few minutes. Think of what you’d call yourself if you kicked all that jargon to the curb and just had a title that explained exactly what you do. It might actually be relatable to humans. Now there’s a marketing idea for you ad agencies and companies trying to get some buzz going and people talking! I’m a (insert amazingly complicated title here) with stellar ideas and I come at very reasonable rates (jars of Nutella or gas cards) for those who may be interested.

I wanted to share it because first of all- it’s just great and second because of my post last night about Blue Lollipop Road getting a face-lift. I closed that post with; “Here’s to finding something you love and making it happen!”

Persistence. 

Yep. A lot of it. I thought a lot about how some people work and work and train and train and try and try for years and years for one race, one moment, one thing- just because they want to or love “it”. Kind of like how I love this. It has only been about 9 months of writing but it could be 999 and I’d still be writing- even if no one liked it, wanted to read it or if I ever made money at it. I love it that much and it’s worth it to me. That feels pretty amazing after a lot of years of trying to figure out what the hell I really love doing.

I hope everyone out there is finding something to be persistent about, then knocking on every door till one opens.

Nice finally talking to ya Jack.

I’m thrilled to be able to continue this project and have it keep growing like it is. Big stuff is brewing. Oh the possibilities.

This is also where I remind you that the doors are always open to opinions, thoughts, wishes, etc. Anything you’d like to share with me as my readers and as I move forward. Feedback is always welcomed and appreciated. 

Here’s to finding something you love and making it happen!

I found this eco-friendly tote in a funky Ithaca NY boutique. I just made up munchkin voices for these little characters and said the printed words out loud. I am rolling on the floor. I’m not sure how normal it is to make yourself laugh as much as I do, but the world I live in is really fun.
