Crazy, Crazy Scene

If you’ve seen “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas“, then you know exactly where this quote is from. It’s after he takes that, what was it, human adrenaline or something like that. He starts to trip out really bad and his buddy just goes and feeds the hysteria by repeating this. That whole scene was just too much chaos for myself, let alone that whole movie. I’ve seen it once, and that was once enough for me.

But that quote coms to mind after I just got finished inventoring my gear for the trip. I’ve got all my gear, it’s sitting in the other room so I can easily distinguish what is what. When I first started, my pile of gear was pretty small, so I started buying up what I needed. Made a list of stuff and all. But now that I look at the gear, I’m beginning to wonder if maybe I have too much, too much. (continue reading…)

So I’ve decided to create a new website. Something simple and easy using the WordPress blog system as the CMS for posting, commenting, updating and maintaining. Also I’ll be using WP because I’m leaving in 5 weeks and I want to have this done before I’m gone.

I’m basically going to be make a simple website that allows users to post their stories of the craigslist flakes they’ve encountered.

Not your usual headline, especially for a web designers blog. But it’s more to intrigue you and get you to ask yourself just “what the hell am I talking about“. We’ve all heard a similar saying, “[something long and tedious]… is like watching water boil”. That’s how I’ve been feeling the past month or two, and more so now than ever. Since I put my notice in at work 3 weeks ago, time has been slugging on. Work days are long and boring which I will get into a little more later, evenings are slow and relaxing, and the nights are filled with thoughts and dreams of what my future plans are.

But what’s killing me… What’s making the 18 or so hours a day I’m up and working, is that I know in 6 weeks I’m flying out of the Country. I feel like I’m watching water boil every day, and even though I have the heat on high, the damn water just isn’t bubbling yet! (continue reading…)
