I'm packed...
Which was not an easy task considering dressing myself on a daily basis is a battle but planning 10 days in advance was painful.
Icing on the cake, upon further review my bed and breakfast has internet but the town does not have cell coverage. Thank you AT&T, you’d figure the iPhone could be its own beacon by now. So working by day, tech-blackhole by night. Internets I love you and hope to see you sooner than later.
GPOYW Recap
Hyperlinked from far and wide, beauty to holy shit what happened, another amazing gratuitous picture of yourself Wednesday in the books. Thanks all for keeping the dream alive.
Why Young Men Delay Adulthood to Stay in "Guyland"
There are many points from this article that I could parse through saying yay or nay, but I’m not in a “you are wrong on the internet mood.” The piece points to a shift in the 21st century man’s desire not be pulled away from the debauchery of your 20’s.
[…] traditional markers of manhood—leaving home, getting an education, finding a partner, starting work and becoming a father—have moved downfield as the passage from adolescence to adulthood has evolved from “a transitional moment to a whole new stage of life.” In 1960, almost 70 percent of men had reached these milestones by the age of 30. Today, less than a third of males that age can say the same.
As a male on the outer cusp of the 16-26 demographic, there are areas in my lifestyle that do fall into this but are carried out on a much smaller scale and more quietly.
Blackout bar hopping and swinging your dick all over the city never struck me as appealing.
See, I thought the rules of GPOYW were that you had to take the picture on the Wednesday you post it. And that you had to look like as much of a jackass as possible. Clearly I’m wrong about some things.
You took the concept and made it your own. That’s the idea. No fail required.
East Bound and Down - RIP Jerry Reed (1937-2008)
Smokey and the Bandit! Best/worst movie ever.
And on the 7th day he rested and most likely took a picture of himself for gratuitous picture of yourself Wednesday! (GPOYW) You know the rules: you, your face, and something camera worthy in between. As always, if I miss you, please no hard feelings, e-mail with a polite wtf message and I’ll get you in the game.

This one was taken for posterity reasons because I will not be sleeping in my own bed for the next 10 days after tonight. Leaving early tomorrow morning in several show Toyota’s, I am headed down to Hutchison, KS to work the Kansas State Fair. It’s going to be a long trip, but I’m booked at an incredible bed and breakfast to make things more home-like. Tumblr meet-up anyone down in Hutch? No? Maybe? 0-3.
