limbo & such

hello my dudes, if anyone still remembers/hasn’t unfollowed me! just doing my yearly check-in to be like hey i’m still alive. i’m still embracing my early mid-life crisis via wanderlust and am wandering alone in eastern europe for as long as i can, in prague at the moment and catching a bus to slovakia at 9am. if you’re interested (or just bored) i am still updating my Bike the Pain Away blog (even if it is a misnomer now & should probably change it) or i actually am active over at @relucant buuuut it’s mostly fandom/supernatural related or just plain old pornography so ymmv there.

what up, bitches?  ...if anyone is still reading this!

hey dudes!  so thanks to the combined forces of my body, my bicycle and my friends, in one month minus one day I made it from Milwaukee to Washington, DC.  I got almost to the WVA border on my bike -- about 640 miles -- before finally graciously conceding defeat to the Ohio hills (and my swollen ankle, jabbing knee pain and blood periodically slipping down from the gash in my shin).  my friend retrieved me and spirited me back to DC, where I am now resting, healing, cat-sitting and asplorin' DC for the first time in a decade+ before starting leg two up north probably next weekend.

Canada: Sure, we may have the best hockey, Tim Hortons, delicious maple syrup, cute moose, and great beer... But we're also the 3rd best place to live in the world as well as the 3rd cleanest country on the planet. We have waterproof money, ketchup chips, the best skiing resorts, Niagara Falls, same-sex marriage is legal in the entire country, we're ranked more free than America, we have a low divorce and suicide rate, we're the 2nd most educated country, our middle class is now the richest middle class in the world, we're the 8th most peaceful country, we have 8% more political female leaders than America, we have the most Hollywood filming locations, paid maternity leave for all women, diversity with extremely rare cases of racism, the cleanest lakes, an extremely stable economy, many well-known celebrities come from here such as Anna Paquin, Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, Pamela Anderson, Seth Rogen, Ellen Page, Will Arnett, Mike Myers, Wolverine, Michael Cera, and Jim Carrey. We also have bigger houses and a low poverty rate. We also help America repopulate endangered species. On top of all that, we're the nicest people that you'll ever meet simply because that's just how us Canadians are. Pretty cool, eh?

NICE
