hey bro mercury cougars are sports cars too

From time to time I get caught up in travel fantasies. My favorite is thinking about embracing the rural life of a tropical country, (a la WWOOF) as if all the anxiety of my life will evaporate through picking some weeds in a non english speaking country. When I read a excerpt of the essay "Self Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson it revealed to me just how foolish travel fantasies are.

Traveling is a fool's paradise.

Our first journeys show us how little difference places make. At home I dream that at Naples, at Rome, I can be intoxicated with beauty and lose my sadness. I pack my bags, hug my friends, embark on the sea, and wake up in Naples, and there next to me is the cruel fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from. I look for the Vatican and the palaces. I pretend to be intoxicated with sights and suggestions, but I am not intoxicated. My giant goes with me wherever I go.

I have no cranky objection to world travel for the purposes of art, of study, and goodwill, as long as the individual is first domesticated, or doesn't go abroad with the hope of finding something greater that what he knows. He who travels to be amused, or to get something he doesn't have within, travels away from himself, and gets old among old things while he's still young. In Thebes, in Palmyra, his will and mind have become as old and run-down as they have. He carries ruins to ruins.

Dont tell anyone. this site is my guilty pleasure.

god i love when a big group of nerds get together then take pictures of it

For some odd reason i've been dating girls with tats lately. Last two have been more CSG than CWG..

arm work like this, and more leg stuff.

I guess every CSG has a white dude engineer phase (WDE)

i have $53,000 in the bank and no debt and get pussy occasionally, I must have too much money? There has to be a sweet spot i'm just overshooting.

the "pat" in the referee getup aint without blame for my discomfort. looks like a volture.

Clothing, hair, posture, body language, accessories... goddamn what an uncomfortable photo

Madison Wisconsin

Pros

Liberal and open minded city

many diverse communities/neighborhoods with their own personalities

two huge lakes, lake front property is easy to come by

LOVES alcohol, public drinking is all but universally accepted

Extremely bike friendly

Beautiful capitol

Top notch university

Cons

Long, frigid winter

Roads fall apart very quickly so summer is full of construction

LOVES alcohol

Never seen so many bar fights as I have living here

Hippy grocery stores are expensive

Flat as hell, no mtns

I've been in a funk for a few months but not a depressive state, more like depression's brother melancholy. I think it is the realization that i'm entering adulthood.

Exercise and health could not be more on point

sleep is good

hobbies flourishing

research progressing

just need a girlfriend, will that make it better!??

i hope you at least got her number...?

But been there man, i was LEAVING a bar at bar time when some hood rats start saying shit to the girl i'm with. Shes a dumbass so she eats it up and goes over there all like "attention?? :D"

long story short i didnt get any, she is fat and i dont talk to her anymore.

her name would be debbie

Found out a girl ive been with for a little bit smoked some DMT back in the day. Was hella impressed. Said curiosity got the best of her but she wouldn't try it again. Essentially like a short circuit of the brain, a glimpse under the hood if you will. When all you're used to seeing is the dashboard, pistons and cylinders aren't going to make much sense.

ITT i feel good about myself

I had a dream last night natalie portman was sitting on my lap and we were feeding each other almonds dipped in honey..

we just tried it and it tastes exactly like in the dream..!

^^ its called mescaline, its the only way of liiiiigghhhhh
