<3 flagstaff

flagstaff is the shit...
my apartment is finally 1 bedroom...and it's freaking huge, with a trail going through mountain-like hills, and lots of other fun shiot.
people seem even nicer here than in wisconsin, at least so far.
there's still lots of bars and people my age who like to party/havefun.

but it's been super stressful for me lately with finding a place and dealing with the massive (for me) $ i've been spending, but once things feel finally "set up," and i get back to making graphs like the ones in my recent posts, i can see myself getting a lot healthier over here all around.

weeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

just back from live poker in albuquerque, nm and i made MONEY! just $400 but i had some drinks before so that's pretty good.

otherwise last month i lost a bunch, because of the stuff i wrote in the last blog, but then this month i made most of it back in just a few sessions - played one in o'haire airport, one in a fast food place in mississippi, and one or two in a hotel.

i'm excited to find a new place in flagstaff this week, even though this whole being a gypsy thing has been a great experience. here are some random highlights:
1- ran into black bears TWO times while hiking alone in the smoky mountains. they seemed more scared of me though haha.
2- an overly-nice middle-aged chick bought me round after round at a bar in fort worth texas, along with giving me $100 cash (wtf?). good times.
3- blew a tire at night on a remote highway in TN. a jolly old chubby guy pulled over and helped me, then invited me over for dinner. he and his wife then tried to get me into baptist christianity.
4- fired 50 rounds from a glock at a picture of osama bin laden at a shooting range in dallas TX.
5- met cool ppl around my age in chatanooga TN, my favorite place so far i think for that reason.

i could write more but i'm tired now, and still not sure what i think about a lot of it anyway.
