so yeah, things change pretty fast, i'm sure i've said that alot lately.
i'm out of arkansas, my stuff is strewn across the the country.
living out of my backpack.
right now i'm in st. louis enjoying the company of new people.
staying warm, working here and there in exchange for food.
i have spent time the last month in chicago, new york, urbana, and now am here.
in december i'm heading to richmond with a friend to drop their stuff so that
we can head towards the sunlight in florida. 
there's talk of sailboat living, national park squatting, farm helping, and working the streets with small
instruments for a bit of the pie.
really i'm sick of hearing so much human noise (election, economy, crime)
i'm ready to hear the tones and feel the vibes that the universe is sending to us.
life seems so short to me
too short to work for someone else
too short to exchange my time for money
too short not to love as many people as i can.

Five Acres and Independence

maybe being content with a single place is the
key to a happy, productive life.

running out of gas on my way to chicago


rearranging a massive pile of chopped bikes on the back of my car.


!!!


playing bikes with chicagoans














dance parties in chicago are pretty great.  James grooving on it





murder by death for free in chicago is pretty cool


i'm completely obsessed with mushrooms right now.





































i'm moving out of arkansas on november 1st
heading to north carolina to make my riches there.
actually not sure yet.
but, i'll be on the road this winter.
just when i was getting used to baking, making, and hating.
i'm 23 and i've got one life and when i'm older life hopefully won't
take me over and get me all trapped up in something i don't
want to be in.
i think i might make a cd soon.

summer in full swing these days, really it's so hot in arkansas, but i'm hoping my body will get used to it.
i'm totally overwhelmed by information and data constantly.  like my head might explode and land me in a prison cell (the human race is so self destructive mostly right?) 
last month i went to dancing rabbit, an ecovillage in missouri with danielle.  we had a good time, i'm still excited by the idea of moving out there, but it's an idea to wrestle with.  but we're making slow changes at home:
-buying a solar oven soon
-manually washing clothes soon with wash basins
-learning to process my own food:
    *making our own nut butters
    *baking all my own bread
    *making my own hard cider (apple wine)
    *salad dressings
    *sauces

here are some photos from dancing rabbit/ red earth:

me DJing a solar powered dance party
















I'm really obsessed with dogs right now,
especially ours, they are just so fun/curious/playful







i've been hanging out with some cool people too, good people are attracted to good places and things.
i think.









last month i also went to st. louis for a couple days.







i found out about a place there that has an open door policy called bolozone and i stayed there for the night.
awesome place in the middle of the city and they even let me borrow a bike to explore.
i made pancakes for everyone in the morning.















some interesting stuff i've seen.


i hate cars more and more everyday ( i can't really stress that enough)





i modified this cash register at best buy with a little anti-war propoganda:



I feel pretty lucky to be with this one.

Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology (P.S.)
By Eric Brende

it has been a while since i've updated all on my progress through life so here goes. 
Alot of cool stuff has been going on lately.
I have started building, weeding, and planting my first ever garden.
so i'm planning to be getting a ton of free organic veggies and then learning to can what i can't eat this fall.
not really building bikes right now, but definately riding. 
a few days ago i decided that i was gonna ride my bike to red earth farms (an ecovillage/commune) in northern missouri (500 miles away).  so i just manned up, packed my trailor and left on tuesday.  but before i could leave, I had to do a paper route from midnight to 7am......i left at 8am on my bike and rode for like 7 straight hours and when i basically couldn't ride anymore i set up my tent in some unmarked woods next to the highway and called Danielle.  She said I rode something like 98 miles........  then i slept for 11 hours, woke up, got on my bike, and rode 5 more miles and decided to call it a day!  so danielle came and picked me up as my knees weren't really working right anymore, and my pedals weren't turning much either.  but it was still fun, and i got to camp in the wild, so it was good.

but danielle and i are still going to head up to red earth for a week long visit on saturday, where we plan on helping them with spring projects, playing with our dog in the woods, fixing some of their bikes, hanging out with hella hippies, and i might DJ a dance party with solar energy if their batteries are "in the green".

on thursday, the 3rd, i'll be heading from missouri to illinois to partake in one in a series of 3 last times that i kiss the governments nutsack.  it's kinda getting critical i think, i'm getting antsy!  hopefully i don't have to wear short sleeves because i tattooed my arm a while ago, and i hopefully they don't mind too much that i have holes in my ears, which danielle got some porcupine quills at the zoo for me to wear in those holes which are pretty much bold.

anyways i hope to see all of my illinois brethren soon.
