thoughts...

this post is two-fold. it could in fact be two separate posts.

so, i've realized that i really just want one big adventure before i have to settle down and get a career. i want more than just a vacation, too. i just want to do something different or dramatic that is off the beaten path. and i have figured out that this is why it is so hard for me to focus or be content here in nac. i really just want to do something. and i have no time/money to do it. and that's that.
but...i haven't given up hope. i just need to be creative.

and...



i took this picture of a cool spider when i was in costa rica. i was kind of excited about finding such an interesting bug, because i was sure that it was exotic and regional and nearly extinct. and for sure i was one of the only people on earth that knew about such a cool creature.

however...

i took this picture yesterday. in franklin, texas. outside my front door. unfortunate.

i guess i'm not as special as i once thought i was.
