Check your facts!

My buddy Jay recently commented on the severe misquoting and inaccuracy of the quotes posted on facebook.. Taking a bit of time away from studying, I thought I’d take the opportunity to create a PSA to help curb the rampant inaccuracies in online quotes.. Distribute at will! :)

Overwhelmed.

As appears to be customary here on cavok, I’ve taken an extended break from writing..

Partly this is because I have a few posts backed up in the editing process, and mostly because I feel completely overwhelmed with the life I’ve chosen to date. Somehow, I haven’t learned the appropriate lessons to create balance an [...]

Headin’ home..

Jordan — Thu, 24 May 2012 19:00:09 +0000

Okay,
I’m gonna try and to do some really quick updates as I’m heading home.

25 May — breakfast.

As I sit in a greasy spoon waiting on my omelette, an old timer sits across from me. He’s chatting with the staff about his daughter going in in to hospice.

I’m reflecting on [...]

The Dragon -> GA -> NC -> SC — Part 1

Jordan — Sat, 19 May 2012 16:13:53 +0000

ThirstyGirl and I took a break and headed for the coast. I had to see the ocean for at least a little bit… Our proximity to the oft-discussed-in-motorcycle-circles “Tail of the Dragon” ride on US 129 made it a logical start to the trip. The dragon is well known around these parts, and is popular [...]

The Dragon -> GA -> NC -> SC — Part 2

Savannah Georgia turned out to be an incredibly beautiful city to just walk around for a few days (the old Historic District was at [...]

Grateful.

As I sit here replying to messages and preparing my list of activities (chores) for the day, I came across this video I’d sent to a friend in October. It struck a chord with me then, and even more now as I look over a grove of trees through which the sun is shining and [...]

A special passenger..

Jordan — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:41:05 +0000

A friend of mine posted on her facebook page yesterday:
“Voted, Taxes in, Mom picked up at airport … I play ‘Adult’ well.”

Upon reading that, my first thought was.. “Oh, crap! I’ve been gallivanting long enough that I didn’t vote in the election, the accountant had to remind me that my taxes were [...]

Day… I’ve lost track — Lexington KY.

Jordan — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:42:55 +0000

So somewhere in the middle of my last post, I actually manged to sneak a trip in to see my buddy Abi in Lexington KY which, as it turns out is only about three hours away from Knoxville.. I hopped on to ThirstyGirl and headed across the state line to catch Abi for supper.. As [...]

Day 10, et al — Nashville to Knoxville area..

Jordan — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 02:02:47 +0000

Last night in Nashville was a bit of a bust, and frankly kind of a downer.. I made the decision to splurge a bit and stay downtown, but by the time I got showered and a load of laundry finished, pretty much everything was shut down, and there was very little to do but drink. [...]

Day 9 — High Knob Campground to Nashville TN

Jordan — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 03:30:20 +0000

So, a little re-cap-over-lap: Upon Smoky Joe’s recommendation, I’d traveled down in to the Shawnee National Forest to head up to High Knob to watch the sunset. As I cruised through the winding forest road, I was struck by the sheer beauty of the tree lined tarmac. After having traveled through thousands of Kilometers of [...]
