rant.
Take the words "I can't" our of your vocabulary.
When thoughts of overwhelming doubt threaten to storm your mind you must beat them back with Spartan force and intensity.
Don't give them an inch.
If you put your mind to something, and then work and work and work at it, there is nothing that you cannot do.
Don't even begin to let money stop you. That is an excuse.
If you don't create what you want to create, or do what you want to do, or travel where you want to go, it's not because you can't....it is because you don't.

horse manure and table saws.
Today was a beautiful, chilly day in Denver. We were up at the crack of eight to go load the truck up with horse manure to deliver to some of Winston's friends who are getting their gardening soil ready for planting. After scrubbing the bedliner for an hour trying to get the veggie oil/horse crap out of the grooves, we began to build a drawer system for the bed of the truck. Something that will allow easy access to all of our gear. We came up with a bomber system, it is just taking awhile to complete. We worked by light of headlamp until 10 tonight.
The plan for tomorrow is to finish the drawers, take some of Winston's stuff to storage,organize our gear, pack the truck, and be ready to hit the road on saturday. A rather ambitious goal, but we like to aim high.

300 nights.
I am preparing to embark on the next stage of the adventure. Tomorrow I fly to The Mile High City where my good buddy Winston and his ultimate veggie oil powered truck await. We will spend the next month + driving around the western U.S. of A. making a film about hitchhikers and traveling kids.
There will be more to come on this, but as I was reflecting on the past ten months of my life since graduating from college I realized that where I have slept has sort of defined this stage. I have not had my own living space since last April, but I haven't paid rent either. Here is the breakdown of where I have spent my resting hours over the past 300 nights:
Inside on the floor: 89 nights
On a boat: 69 nights
On a couch: 40 nights
Outside on the ground: 39 nights
In a bed: 38 nights
Inside on an air mattress: 25 nights
