The Rules

During the following year, I am going to discover life. My experiment shall consist of two parts:

1) Learning to be healthy by controlling what I eat and exercising


2) Trying new things, learning new things, and living new things


I will attempt to be healthy and exercise every day. Occasionally I will write about how doing these things, or not doing these things, affects my mood and overall outlook on life.

I will also learn 28 new things this year. These may be skills, like photography, martial arts, or how to play an instrument. I may research interesting topics and summarize my findings on here. I may go somewhere new and learn facts about that place. I may learn to paint or cook something or make a battery.

I am open to suggestions here. If there is something you think I should learn or do, or something you want me to learn about for you, let me know! I am not rich, so please don't ask me to do something expensive. I am simply looking to try new things and experiment with this crazy little thing called life.


Also feel free to have me try out a fad diet or exercise program, just know that I won't stick with it for too long :) Unless, of course, it brings me happiness. Really, I'm just looking to find things that create joy and expand my horizons. That's what life is all about right?


The power is in each of us. Life is too short to waste.

Driving on Dirt Roads


I love driving on dirt roads. Especially in vehicles equipped to handle the terrain. I love the feel and sound of the rocks and gravel under the tires. I love the sense of being in the wilderness, away from civilization. I love seeing cows cross the street, and, on days like today, seeing wild horses and a wild horse baby walking lazily across the road. I love feeling a little like things could get out of control at any moment, so you always need your wits about you. I don't really love it in mud. Mud scares me. But a little mud is fun and leaves a mark so everyone knows how cool you are and where you have been.
