This post has been waiting in the blog queue. I know I owe you an apology, Southern California, but I was waiting for just the right moment. Yesterday, it transpired. Remember the dude who told me “Good luck making friends”? Well. He approached me yesterday to find out how I was doing, if I was [...]

Get Sexy Month
November is Get Sexy Month! A few friends and I were doing a “sober November”, where the only guidelines were to not drink, work out together, and get sexy! Despite its name, Get Sexy Month is technically over—while we called it a month, it was really only from Nov 1 – Thanksgiving (November 22). As [...]

Happy Election Day!
It’s no secret that I am politically interested; I finally got my Colorado ID mostly so I could vote in my swing state. While I’m Libertarian and happy to talk about it, I will also exercise my right NOT to tell you who I vote for in this upcoming presidential election. Save America from Politics! [...]

Colorado Resident
After just 2.5 years, it’s really official. I’ve never had another state’s ID before (and they definitely take worse pics than Texas). I think I’m excited, but it’s bittersweet. Texas will always be home.

The Friends-As-Family Generation
Subhead: Making Friends in Anywhere. I’m constantly amazed at the number of thoughtful comments a post I wrote three years ago still receives. The topic: Making Friends in Austin. Turns out, while it can vary by location and number of young professionals, young singles, so on, making friends anywhere is a challenge. I’ve written in countless [...]

Learning more new things!!
Remember how I said I was learning new things this summer, and they were working with horses and getting awesome at sand volleyball? Well, add dirt biking and rock climbing to the list. I’m embracing the Colorado lifestyle and turning all adventurer-crunchy …

Spring cleaning
I wish I was talking about power cleaning, but I still haven’t found a new gym home … Nope, instead, a DailyHap-inspired mental spring cleaning about my athletic identity. I mentioned in my last post that I’ve always been an athlete (which isn’t true, as I didn’t really become an athlete until late junior high [...]

Learn something new! [video]
Athletic pursuits have made up my life since at least junior high, when I really started caring about basketball. I focused on that sport pretty quickly, and got to be pretty good at it. My identity has since at least partially been defined by being an athlete, so when it came time to learn something [...]
