I Need an Adventure

F**k it.
I need an adventure.
Im so sick of all the babies.
Im so sick of all the engagements, marriages and mortgages.
Im so sick of the desk jobs and 40 hour work weeks.
Is that all that there is?
Really?

I need an adventure.
I want to hike in the mountains and swim in the ocean.
I want to climb rocks and trees.
I want to wear my swimsuit all day on a beach.
I want to sit quietly for hours in a beautiful international place.
Is that too much to ask?
Is it?

I need an adventure.
Im so sick of losing close friends to the "grind".
Im so sick of time passing without doing anything.
Im so sick of always having to stay "connected".
Do we have to live like this?
Really?

I need an adventure.
I want to have stories to tell.
I want to re-connect with old friends and never lose contact.
I want to come and go as I please without ties.
Why can't it be that easy?
Why not?

I need an adventure.
Maybe the reason I take adventures is to disconnect and connect. Disconnect from the world of glowing light and connect to what is truly important, interaction with those who give you your own glowing light. Adventures help you to realize what is important in your life and not regret anything. Adventures help one to remember that even though time passes and things change, its ok because life is still going and good things are to come. Exciting, fun things! I try to be supportive of peoples decisions to not adventure and "settle down". I try so hard but there is so much adventuring that needs to be done and so little time to do it. Im done. I need an adventure to get away, and I need it now.

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

Guatemala: Day One Adventure

The following is a conglomeration of journal writings that I made about my travel day to San Marcos, Guatemala and some additions to make it all run together smoothly: 11/5/15 6:60am Chicago I JUST made my first flight. It helped that the dude behind me in the security line was on my flight. We chatted a bit about travel and it eased my mind a little. I get so stressed out when Im not early... I had to take the earliest bus from Milwaukee at 4:30 am. I slept three hours. 10:55am ATL I think I smell... I didn't do that deodorant thing this morning. Whatever. I had less than an hour layover and had to run through the huge ATL airport to get to my gate. I got there with a bit of time though which is nice. Im between two not so fun humans. One is a very large man who thinks he can have half of my seat (though at least he seems nice) and an older woman who I don't think speaks good spanish or engligh. Also, when she's passed out its fine but as soon as she wakes up, the ...

Welcome to Kentucky

So Tyler and I have been driving for two days to get me to Kentucky tonight for my internship at the Reptile Zoo! (Which Im pretty excited for by the way) Its dark out and we are excited to almost be in Kentucky after passing through so many other states the whole day. We drive over this hill and this is what we see: The sky is all lit up orange and its kind of flickering and both Ty and I go “oh F***” Something is on fire and we think theres a horrible exploding accident on the highway. As we come down this hill, we notice that there is no horrible accident but theres fire from a factory. The orange lights are lighting up the foggy night sky and its glaring. Orange lights, smoke stacks and fires from the factory are all over and we are disgusted. It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. There is a billboard with an american flag (‘MERICA!) and we find out its an oil factory. On the other part of the highway is a sign as we come over the bridge: Welcome to Kentucky.  Not...
