"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

Hello all!
Once again, sorry I haven't posted too much in a while! Things are awesome though! I took the job at the tattoo and piercing place and I love it Everyone that works here is super cool and friendly. I'm actually working now, but it's slow so I'm on the computer. Thought I would utilize this time to make a post! Working here isn't too hard, but there is a lot I need to learn about piercing. All the different gauges, and types of piercings and pricing and just a lot! haha But I'll get it all probably just as I'm about to leave haha Murphy's Law! Things at my other job are good aswell too. I got my schedule changed a bit, so not I'm only working there part time so I can work more at the tattoo shop or go exploring! I'll probably go exploring haha


Last week I had a lot of fun. My one friend from work, Amber, and I, went and hiked Flattop. It's the one hike that everyone does here in Anchorage. Flat top is to Anchorage as The State of Liberty is to New York City. haha It was a cloudy/rainy day, so the veiw wasn't amazing, but what was really cool was that we were above all the clouds, so when you looked out, it looked like it was the end of the world or something. Just awesome!
Then a little over a week ago I saw the coooooooolest thing. I was on the coastal trail, right by town with some friends from work. The sun was setting over the ocean, around 11PM and it was just rediculously beautiful. The tide was coming in and it just couldn't be any more perfect! haha Then I look off to the east and in about the same level in the sky as the sun was, there was the moon. By far one of the COOLEST things I have ever seen. It kinda put the whole world into this awesome perspective. It's crazy how small we really are here on earth.
Next kinda cool thing....haha. I got to work at Trappers the other day and everyone was looking out the front windows at something. Turns out that Kate Goslin from "Jon and Kate plus 8" was across the street shopping with her clan of children. And then they came into our store! haha I could really care less about her. But it was interesting to watch a celebrity in action. Her kids were all super cute. I was talking to them and stuff. I helped bag there stuff when they checked out. Turns out they were thatr awesome though. Her kids needed to use the bathroom, and after they left we saw that they trashed it. haha That wasn't exactly the coolest. But oh well.
So next cool thing that I'm RIDICULOUSLY excited for. G. LOVE AND THE SPECIAL SAUCE is going to be in concert here on the 31st and guess who got a ticket!!! haha I'm soooo excited to see them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I guess that's its for now. I'm on the computer at work, so I can't really post any pictures, but if I have time tonight I'll try and post some. I'm not really on the computer much any more. I'm enjoying being detached from soceity and main stream media. It is soothing to the mind. haha
