Amazing post about hunting, why he does it and what it means to him.
Boldest line (talking about people that do not understand why we eat meat), “We all have blood on our hands, only I can see mine.”

Parents visiting for the weekend. Mom says I don’t need to tell her the weather because she got it from the Internet earlier. She pulls out a paper from her purse. It’s not a printout. She copied down the highs and lows by hand and drew pictures of the whole five-day forecast (they’re only here…
Your parents sound like they’re almost as old as you!

White people don’t work hard enough. I’m so glad to be working around Mexicans again.

Mahr's →
I’m at a beer bar in Oakland, and they have a beer from a brewery called Mahr’s. I have not thought of these beers in many years, but then I remembered that Eric and I tried to find this place 7 years ago in Bamberg, Germany.
Here’s what Eric had to say about that day:
“I piss twice in the night. Bladder is too small. We wake up early (6:45) and drive from Augsburg...

Overheard: “Those were sweet Armani sunglasses, but they didn’t have polarized lenses. What’s the point? I’m not too vain, but I gotta have a nice watch and nice sunglasses.”

Lest we forget, today is apparently Canada Day.
Flin Flon is a mining city on the border of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and I want to go to there. Their newspaper is only published three days a week. It’s called The Reminder.
The town’s name is taken from the lead character in a paperback novel, The Sunless City by J. E. Preston Muddock. A prospector named Tom Creighton found the...

A great analysis of the romanticism associated with the food movement. I mean, I have chickens in my backyard. Thankfully, I’ve still got one foot in the real world and haven’t quit my job to go work on a commune/farm. via @jasonmader
I don’t like your use of the word ‘real’. Because what’s real is what grows out of the ground. The best things are...

This year, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens once every 823 years. This is called money bags. So, forward this to your friends and money will arrive within 4 days. It is based on Chinese Feng Shui. The one who does not forward will be without money. Not taking any chances!
Did my co-worker really just send this to our whole company? Are you fucking kidding...

I gave a bouncer a couple bucks tonight partially because he let me back into the club to find my coat, and mostly because he looked like my friend Neil.
Normally I wouldn’t tip somebody whose job is basically to be in the way, but I really miss Neil.
Are you talking about me? If so, i’m sorry my likeness was in the way, but I miss you too, buddy.

Interesting idea, to send folks and just leave ‘em there. But why limit it to old people? Wouldn’t you want somebody who’d be able to run around and learn awesome things for 40-60 years instead of 10-30?
Are they afraid of people who might mutate and reproduce, then send monster offspring back to Earth to dominate and turn the rest of us into slaves? I’d say chances of that...
Remember when I used to actually post on my tumblr? Well, I don’t anymore, mostly because I’m actually allowed to listen to music now. Music has a strong hold over me, and when I can’t hear it, it just pops into my head. Its actually nice now that I work for myself, I can hear whatever I want, whenever I want.
