A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor

I have been putting off writing to you because so much has happened, I don't even know where to begin.

I have packed so much life into July, it's killing me. But in a good way?

The Bunker has gone camping (probably my first and last camping trip), went to the West Virginia Penitentiary, went caving about 40 stories below the surface of the earth, got our gay pride on at the parade and at an intense  bar crawl, went to the Flight 93 National Memorial, and went to Fallingwater.

Additionally, on Tuesday of last week,  Ryan and I drove to Atlanta and back within a 36 hour timeframe and nearly fucking died. Straight up, that was honestly one of the dumbest things I have ever done.

Things I have learned from driving a great distance in a short amount of time:

• never estimate the power of a well-mixed driving mix
• always have a co-captain
• for the love of god stop if you are tired
• drink shit tons of water, you might be unhappy, but you are awake
• have so many CDs, so many more CDs than you think you need
• that construction worker's thermos I bought for $1 from a garage sale keeps coffee hot for 30 hours
• roll down the window, a few seconds of fresh air does wonders
• protein man, protein all the way for a sustained energy boost, sugar leads to crashes.
• stop and eat a protein filled breakfast one hour before the sunrises because it wakes you up and then the sun is up
• The Carolinas fucking suck
• Tennessee is pretty great
• The "Run and Scream" method kinda translates over to this

For the record like 20 minutes has passed because aside from listing all of the things that I have done, I am not sure how to like talk about them. So I've been sitting in the kitchen, drinking and watching my housemates make preparations for Sushi Sunday.

Trisha is popping in tomorrow for a week. I am very excited to see her. I also took the week off from work, which is awesome because that job is beginning to crush my soul. I like the people, but giving the same tour over and over in the heat is dumb as hell.

I realize that I am going to get a lot of "WHAAAA? Tell me" comments upon posting this. But those will give me some direction in where to begin.

BUT HERE IS A SONG!
