“I believe the best way to begin reconnecting humanity's heart, mind, and soul to nature is for us to share our individual stories.”-J. Drew Lanham Alright so the end of day three: Enter the drinking. What good is a trip to Gatlinburg without stopping at one of its MANY moonshine distilleries? We left the Skylift… Continue reading Up to the Smokies Part 2
Up to the Smokies
"The Earth has music for those who listen."-William Shakespeare Growing up, we'd road trip to California quite a bit. My favorite part of the trip was driving through the Smoky Mountains.

Enough with the Sweatpants Already

Time to Avoid Everyone
“Go where you feel most alive.”-Anonymous I think we can all agree that 2020 sucks. From countries on fire, to the potential of World War 3, and now a plague 2020 can kiss my ass.

Read This When You’re NOT Hungry
“You can’t make everyone happy. You’re not cheese.”– Anonymous I don't see a point to live without cheese. Even as someone who cannot physically handle dairy, you'll have to pry cheese from my cold dead hands and even then I'll come back to haunt your cheese stealing ass. Seriously though, it makes things just better. Having… Continue reading Read This When You’re NOT Hungry
Sun’s Shining, Let’s Head Out
“Friends are relatives you make for yourself.”- Eustache Deschamps Girl's days are the best, aren't they? Being constantly on the go, I don't get out with my girl friends as much as I'd like to.
