I attended a tiny thing this week and checked off a colossal goal on my 'You Only Live Once' checklist... I went to ARCHERY! The significance of this is massive, near immeasurable, and it has propelled me forward at a rate I completely under estimated. On Saturday night I was procrastinating horribly, gawking at the...

My Year Without McFatty’s
I 'gave' up McDonald's and Hungry Jacks (aka Burger King) about a year ago. Honestly I thought it would kill me. What would I eat when travelling the expansive distances between towns?
