Truth be told, I am not a planner. I am like the anti-planner. I plan to not plan but then think that I am planning so I scrap the plan and go with no plan. You follow? Well a few days ago I committed to creating an iPhone guide for a few of Utah’s lovely [...]

Posted on 27. Apr, 2010 by Writer.
For any of you following DirtbagWriter I have obviously abandoned my publication schedule during this last week and have well… decided to abandon it completely. My gears have been churning and many new opportunities have risen from the dust so I’ve decided to make some big changes here. Have you ever felt like starting over? [...]

Planning, More Planning, and Stuff
Posted on 03. Mar, 2010 by Writer.
At this point I feel like I do more planning than stuff.

I have been working on my life list for a while but was motivated to post it after reading A Life Well Lived: Developing a Personal Manifesto and downing half a bottle of red.

The Beginning: Wandering, Nomading, Vagablogging…
