:D

Today is National Tortilla Chip Day

So I'm sure you've heard about the revolts happening in the Middle East/Africa.  Egypt's dictator was ousted.  Libya's dictator is most likely about to be.  If you watch the news at all, do you notice how the first thing anyone does when something like this happens is look to the United States to see what we're going to do?  Since we live here, I understand that it's hard to separate ourselves and look at the issue from an outside viewpoint but if you do, you'll probably realize it's bizarre.   That's how I feel, at least.  We hold so much power that it kind of sucks.  Every decision or non-decision we make is going to be detrimental in some fashion.  We should not be held to higher standards, for reals :).

Fence

Sometimes, when I'm driving, I'll look at big expanses of land and feel kind of..free..if you will.  I look across the plains and get this awesome "American" feeling like the sky is the limit and shit.

Then I see the fence.  The neverending fenceline that lashes my dreams of ever running through those fields.  Not that I would ever do that..but even if I wanted to, I couldn't.  It's a little disheartening and I don't know why.  I think if I want to have a truly scenic experience I'll need to make my own roads.

Anew

I'm really content lately in my new way of thinking.  I just feel...better.  Instead of getting anxious, upset, or annoyed about things, I ask myself "In an hour, will I give a damn?"  9 times out of 10, the answer is no and 10 times out of 10, I get over it.  Yesssss.

Boyce Avenue is tomorrow!!!

Tulsa

I went to Tulsa with Reice this weekend.  I found out a week or so ago that my favorite author, Elizabeth Gilbert, would be speaking there and I couldn't pass up the chance to see her.  I've never seen anyone as an idol for myself until I learned of her.  She's amazing!  I also got to take a picture with a Jesus penguin (with argyle socks on), a big American flag in Weleetka, and the casino! 

I've always liked my women book and street smart
