a..fchapstick
For the past four days I've had the most heinous case of chapped lips of my entire life.
bathtub-scum green Burt's Bees Res-q insect bite ointment that makes my lips all nummie on top of the normal haggard feeling.

I found out that Tobacco is going to be at Bonnaroo. Oh yeah, I'm going to Bonnaroo. Volunteering is getting me in for free, btw... I don't have $300 to see phish. twice!!! Headie tunes bro. Ugh.

Kristen and I bottled our pumpkin spice mead a few nights ago. It tastes much better than the last batch but still needs several months before it will be really delicious.

Its kind of sad that an email from our friendly local army recruiter that I read with a barking drill Sargent voice inside my head looks as appealing as an all expenses paid culinary tour of Taiwan. Enlistment bonus of $20,000! More than $23,000 in educational benefits! Up to $20,000 to pay off your student loans! I keep telling myself that $15,657 is not that much debt. But then I keep remembering the little number down at the bottom "accrued interest: $900." I'm on a 10 year plan paying $185 per month. All in all I will have paid $22,200 for a piece of paper and the best years of my life. Still trying to tell myself that's not a lot of money...

I want to work on a farm making $100 a month. I want to start a band that lives in a biodesiel van with solar panels to power our instruments, living out of dumpsters and performing improvised shows in vacant, baking parking lots. I want to walk to china, live in the street and learn to play the shamisen.

I don't what to think about how I'm actually going to live a vaguely ecologically upgraded consumption based existence no matter how I resist. So why resist?
