As it turns out, drunk trust falling that girl at the top of the waterslide didn't really work out for anyone..

on a lighter note

a friend recently told me this:

"Here’s the thing about confidence: it’s a 100% “fake it til you make it” situation. Every single person walking this planet has insecurities. All confidence is is any Joe Shmoe who got out of bed one day and decided to stop being sad, start looking people in the eye, and stop speaking like every sentence ends in a question. Everyone has the power to be a really cool person that everyone likes if they just recognize that they’re never going to be Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie or whoever the fuck they wish they were and just be the cool people that they were born to be.

Millions of people bought that book The Secret to try to see if they could attract some good shit in their lives but all they had to do was download Keri Hilson’s rendition of Soulja Boy’s “Turn My Swag On.” Boom. "

so take that, and go Boom

[And today was a day just like any other]

I have alwaus wanted to run an advice column...okay not really....but really...no ..uhm

i think that in between alienating conversations and awkward silences it would be fun to drop some knowledge on your *expletive* arse so send me some questions via that little "tell me something" link...you can be anon.

and i will occasionally browse through the questions and on a not so timely fashion, post some remarks and answers to your urgent questions

sound fair?

disclaimer: mah iPhone might be auto correcting all my fucks into ducks. which makes my strong worded texts look harmless and adorable. Its up for you to decide

I asked a girl to buy her a drink, she said " have a boyfriend", so I said, well i have a goldfish, she said what? I replied, oh I'm sorry I thought we were talking about shit that doesnt matter.

on that topic of shit that doesn't matter, its been a long hiatus for me and blogging, and i decided last night that i would start again, whenever i felt like it, with no schedule, with no business objective, and you can not imagine the intensity of the fuck that i do not give about your opinions, im glad we are on the same page

so this blog will still have my adventures, my music consumption habits, and my opinions, as biased as i would like them, with very little interaction from you....the world

so enjoy the upcoming moments of awkwardness, cause i know i will

Trail Breakfast

Nothing beats getting up extremely early before the rest of the world wakes up, hitting the trail and sitting on top of the world, on a summit, watching the sun come up....Well maybe a Fresh Breakfast on top of the summit watching the sun rise.

Here is how I make a delicious breakfast on the trail

Forecasting Weather (Clouds)

“There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.” – Sir Rannulph Fiennes

So your out on the trail, hiking a multi day trek across many miles.. Sure you have brought all the gear you need to withstand anything and hike on...but wouldn't it be nice to leave behind that weather band radio and forecast your own weather, right there on the trail.....All one has to do is look to the sky for the answers...

A revolution in digital consumption

We here @ CAIRN are addicted to our iphones, and when we heard about Appl'es ipad, the first thing that came to our minds, was an amazing digital magazine experience. if you think the ipad and kindle have begun to revolutionize ebooks, just wait until the magazine industry takes foot.
