mexico city, i love you | it's cool to be alive
https://trustyrgut.wordpress.com/2009/04/12/mexico-city
It’s cool to be alive. Always forward, no regrets / [a semester away]. 04/12/2009 • 10:53 PM. Mexico city, i love you. Look away from a television screen when it’s turned on. Not even when it’s Mr. Bean getting trapped in an outhouse while trying to hitch hike in the French riviera. Not even then. And finally, some not-safe-for-work YouTube action. I’ve heard it more times than I can count, and the video is epic. There’s a reason why this shit has almost 15,000,000 views. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

It’s cool to be alive. Always forward, no regrets / [a semester away]. 03/26/2009 • 6:39 PM. Today I left Maya Pedal. And it was really sad, actually. Just a few weeks there and suddenly it was home. I said goodbye to Analiese– mostly we pretended like we’d see each other in like 2 days (which is true in the sense that we’ll see each other at Bike Bike. This weekend. Travel safe, Matthews! Nonprofits can be so self-serving, and I do not. And theres definetly some kind of reassurance in that. Create a fre...

It’s cool to be alive. Always forward, no regrets / [a semester away]. 03/24/2009 • 12:45 PM. You’ll never guess…. I’m standing in front of a very free, very fast computer in the Westin Camino Real conference center in Guatemala City. It’s weird. We’re here as represenatives of Maya Pedal at a this.

In Xela, and Sarah, who’s been on the road for a while now but who fits right in (she sleeps with the rest of us in Bed City, the increasingly chaotic pile of mattresses in the main bedroom).

market day | it's cool to be alive
https://trustyrgut.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/market-day
It’s cool to be alive. Always forward, no regrets / [a semester away]. 03/01/2009 • 4:12 PM. Already. Same sticky keyboard today. Maybe tomorrow I’ll bring a bunch of bike grease and just put it all over everything. I’d be the most popular kid in town. Twice fried in huge round vats at a street stand, blue tarps covered in plastic barrettes, combs, faux leather sneakers, illegal DVDs. About Myspace, and appreciating another relic of the unspeakable Brahva ad campaign. Even if I don’t write back rig...

It’s cool to be alive. Always forward, no regrets / [a semester away]. 02/28/2009 • 12:06 PM. I’m writing from a sticky keyboard in San Andres Itzapa (. I want a goal! Must resist urge to harass everyone about everything. Must. Resist. Them I feel like I’m drifting through space. I have promised myself I’ll be here in Itzapa for at least a week. If by next Saturday I feel like it’s time to move on, I will. Back to Antigua for a night, maybe, and then to Xela? 02/26/2009 • 4:16 PM. Tomorrow I head up to S...

It’s cool to be alive. Always forward, no regrets / [a semester away]. 03/04/2009 • 7:18 PM. Coco, two ways. Quite suddenly, I am working for my lunch. Today and yesterday Erin and I spent moving bikes around on the roof– a few very nice ones (integrated shifters! A lot of very shitty ones. Sorting by type (mountain or road), quality (good or.

It’s cool to be alive. Always forward, no regrets / [a semester away]. 03/31/2009 • 12:36 PM. I’m here in San Cristobal until Thursday or Friday; today I’m hanging out with Pete at some organization where he volunteers, and tomorrow Dan and I are renting SCOOTERS and going somewhere. It’s totally out of my budget but I figure there are only so many times in your life you can ride around Mexico on fluro yellow scooters, and this is definetly going to be one of them. 04/07/2009 at 10:52 PM.

https://trustyrgut.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/chacahu
It’s cool to be alive. Always forward, no regrets / [a semester away]. 04/13/2009 • 5:25 PM. It’s suddenly summer in Cuernavaca; Amina and I have been watching American movies. And sweating through our clothes. Amina’s host family has this tiny brown daschund named Coco who runs everywhere and gets weird topoographical veins in his ears when he gets too excited. Since arriving in this city, I haven’t left the apartment. It feels okay. I’m fucking exhausted. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
