The Adventure Begins

So I'm starting this at the urging of a good friend "Z" who shall also get a nickname since she seems to have nicknamed me. But I'm also writing this as a way to write down the stuff that I think of from time to time. Sometimes my thoughts amaze even myself. This likely won't be a blog filled with modesty. Though it might be. I'm not sure how I really feel about all that sometimes. I'm not sure how often I'll update this, it'll likely depend on my mood. Lord knows I won't be want for time. Onwards to an update on my life.

For those that don't know, I'm working for a land broker in the exciting town of....wait for it... Ft. Stockton, Texas. It's one of the more boring places I've been. I'm talking as depopulated as the area in NE Nebraska (NE NE) without the quiet and nice weather in the summer. Although it can be quite beautiful out here, I do rather like the option of returning to civilization when I want without having to drive a minimum of ~115 miles. And that only gets me to Midland, which isn't all that much better. I did make that journey up to Midland this past weekend however. Country roads in the middle of nowhere can be pretty cool and given the geography of the area I could see some mesas that I'm pretty sure are at least 30 or so miles from town without any problem whatsoever. Midland was predictably sparse but I did get some more books to help the time pass. I also visited the "Odessa Meteor Crater and Meteor Museum", which was actually kind of cool. Nothing really spectacular. but really quiet and sort of interesting. This weekend was fantastically uneventful other than that. The good thing about being out here is that the work seems like it is relatively easy and relaxed. Maybe not easy, but certainly not quantum physics. Working from 8 to 5 or 6 on and off certainly helps the days out here go faster. Which brings me to a short thought I had. It seems a little depressing to me that even at the age of 20 I'm doing things in the hopes of making days pass quicker. I feel like I should be trying to make the best of everyday, not making the days go away. I think I'll make that my mission for the summer. To do things that are at the least memorable and at the best mildly life altering on most days. Perhaps.
I have decided that as soon as my first paycheck comes in I'm going to buy a camera so you all (mainly just Z I'm sure, I'll be pleasantly surprised if many others keep up with this) can see the "excitement" of my life. And to take tons of pictures in August.

That's it for now.
May the road rise to meet you.
