A side street
We took a walk after dinner and found ourselves on a street off the main road. The smooth wide black pavement gave way to narrow cobblestone pathways. Exhaust notes of cars and scooters succumbed to the buffeting aesthetic of the neighborhood. The air hung with peace and the evening breeze listened to the quiet conversations of the lining flats. It must have been around 9pm as the sun was...

My urine only stays clear for half an hour
And my urine can only stay clear (meaning I am adequately hydrated) for a short period of time mainly because of these 2 reasons:
It’s about 98 degrees with the humidity of did I just piss myself or is that sweat? o ok it’s sweat.
This would be reason two. The water unless bottled is unsafe to drink (please to meet you typhoid mary), but why drink water when these delicious gems...

You keep your typhoid Vietnam. You keep it!
So I’m consolidating my blogs onto this one account. As someone told me it was very pretentious to keep multiple blogs. I’m use to segmenting my life. I do it with almost everything. Even my friends. I bet you didn’t know I have a friend named Jacob did you?
Anyways. Old travel blog here: http://miken404.vox.com New travel stuff to be written here on tumblr. Enjoy friends, but...

It's 7pm. Do you know what your non-sellout...
It’s 7pm on a Sunday and I am in the office chugging away at a deadline for the past 7 hours now. Bling my blackberry goes. Oh? Why if it isn’t a facebook message from my old buddy, Prodan (Surfing Magazine contributing writer and ASP Media Officer. You may have seen him on Fuel TV or ESPN interviewing the likes of Kelly Slater, Andy Irons, etc.) I wonder what’s up?
No words....

Paperbag head boy & the cookie
During an evening not unlike this one now a young paperbag head boy was having a particularly rough time. The weight of his thoughts condensed into a hanging cloud that began to rain. Now he was sad, tired, and soaked.
For on his mind was his cellphone whose memory and operating system was wiped, a work laptop computer that refused to connect to the paperbag corporation’s VPN, a external...
Dropping some K Bombs!
K is for knowledge
There are often times when I am asked for my opinion on “healthcare reform.” First I put that in quotes because it makes me sound more cynically intelligent on matters of domestic policy than I really am. Second, my answer is always pretty much the same whether it be to alumnus, co-workers, first dates, bored grocery line people, or nosey urinal neighbors;...

muffling that noise
The consequence of my first post has been outcries of concern. “You made a blog about guns?” “Are you Republican?” “If you ever go berserk this blog will be all over the news. People will nod in agreement that you were crazy and that your family and friends should have seen this as a cry for help.” That last quote was a conversation I had with myself about 28...
Lonely Lagoon Monsters
It shouldn’t be a secret to most of my friends that I am obsessive about preparing for the “next disaster.” I have emergency kits in my apartment and car i.e. extra clothes, food, water, radio, tent, compass etc.
According to HBO, Summit Ent., and 14 year girls; the next catastrophic event will be Vampires. Boy is my face red. I have been totally preparing for zombies for like...
