Headin’ Out Californee Way…

Might be some internet out there…

Haha one of my favorite episodes of South Park (preview). Anyways, I decided it’s time to take advantage of the digital nomad lifestyle and head somewhere else for a bit.

So myself, along with my partner in crime (girlfriend) are packing up ours bags today to head off to California. We figured we might as well head out there one last time before we move to Austin in May. It’s a lot shorter of a …

Great Urban Race: The Aftermath

If you missed my post last Thursday, I talked about the Great Urban Race coming to Phoenix this past weekend. I had pretty high hopes for doing good in the race (I don’t know why). Anyways, now that the race is over and I have all my pictures off my camera, it’s time to break down the race.

Not to mention there were bathrooms everywhere and power …

A Day At The Wildlife World Zoo

This past weekend, my girlfriend and I were on our way hiking when we noticed some dark clouds to the West. Once we saw them, we decided it probably wasn’t a good idea to go up in the mountains. Especially since I still remember the “lightning bolt incident of 2008.”

So instead of hiking, we ended up going to the Wildlife Work Zoo and Aquarium located in Litchfield Park, Arizona. It’s located a little West of Phoenix but was less than an hour …
