Prancing and Sucking

I quit my job, sold my home, and drove around the country in the summer and fall of 2006, training BJJ, finding myself, and landing in LA. I still travel a lot and get to train in amazing places. Some of my friends are irritated that I "prance" around the world and think I "suck" for doing so.

Nice!

My sister and brother-in-law gave me a send-off/birthday present of 6 CDs of 70s hits! So I am stoked to drive along to:

Amie, by Pure Prairie League (some of my college friends may remember--or not--sitting in Hovey's Pub yelling at Rob the guitarist to learn this song, and then when he did, singing along in a most annoying fashion)

Rocky Mountain Way, by Joe Walsh (Hey! I'm gonna be in the Rocky Mountains!)

You Took the Words Right out of My Mouth, by Meat Loaf ("Meat Loaf" is two words, in case you were wondering.)

Dust in the Wind, by Kansas (Too cliche to listen to it while actually in Kansas?)

Shining Star, by Earth, Wind and Fire (I imagine listening to this one at night, while somewhere in the Badlands or someplace like that)

All by Myself, by Eric Carmen (For when I feel lonely, to exacerbate that.)

and the absolute best driving song ever, Radar Love, by Golden Earring.

Thanks, Marjorie and Chris!

My newest goal is to meet your parents. They have to be in the top 2% of the most awesome parents in the history of the world.

Oh, and be safe out there!!!
