TALLOWEEN 8 Bike Race

This weekend I will be entering my first alley cat race, I am in no way expecting to win, or even place, but I am expecting to have a blast dressing up, listening to local music, and slaying the best veggie burger in town at Birds Oyster Shack. Wish me luck and feel free to join in on the fun.

This weekend I took a spur of the moment trip to see a few friends in Nashville Tennessee and to go sport climbing for the first time. I ended up bouldering at the Obed and climbing the first V6 I've ever climbed, and then we went to King's Bluff where I got to climb lead for the first time. I ended up banging my foot really bad and had to be carried out, but I had such a fun time. I couldn't ask for better friends and I don't know what my life would be like without weekend trips and endless amounts of sunflower seeds.

Just picked up a new book to read in between my classes.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.”

John Muir

We all strive for safety, prosperity, comfort, long life, and dullness. The deer strives with his supple legs, the cowman with trap and poison, the statesman with pen, the most of us with machines, votes, and dollars, but it all comes to the same thing: peace in our time. A measure of success in this is all well enough, and perhaps is a requisite to objective thinking, but too much safety seems to yield only danger in the long run. Perhaps this is behind Thoreau's dictum: In wildness is the salvation of the world. Perhaps this is the hidden meaning in the howl of the wolf, long known among mountains, but seldom perceived among men.

"In short, all good things are wild and free. There is something in a strain of music, whether produced by an instrument or by the human voice… which by its wildness, to speak without satire, reminds me of the cries emitted by wild beasts in their native forests. It is so much of their wildness as I can understand. Give me for my friends and neighbors wild men, not tame ones."

-Thoreau

Florida State University and rock climbing.

Not only was yesterday my first day as a student at Florida State University, but I also joined the Climbing Club at FSU. For once I am genuinely excited about school, the curriculum may be harder than what I'm used to, but it will be covering things that I'm actually interested in. My goal for this semester is to make friends, make good grades, climb, and just enjoy the fact that I am going to the college that I have dreamed about attending for as long as I can remember.

In Defense of Dixie

I grew up in the flatlands, backwoods of north Florida where the state line between itself and Georgia was grayer than the moss that hung in the trees. I now live in Tennessee, the birthplace of whiskey and the death place of decent country music. I love the south but it’s an informed kind of love. Ah, the duality of the southern thing.

I know good and well about the the geopolitical, socioeconomic, and religious failures of the deep south. But there are some things that are just plain better here: barbecue, pecan pie, sweet tea, music, football, hospitality, and gritty, grippy sandstone.
