Life is Weird.

So if you know me, you know i'm constantly saying how weird life is. For those of you i don't talk to on the daily.. LIFE IS WEIRD!

Ok so lets rewind to october 12, end of contract at Yellowstone, time to head south, start at Grand Canyon on the 17th! super stoked! have a blast of a time making my way to phoenix, camped in a forest, woke up surrounded by cows (the best thing ever!) got to phoenix all of the markie hangs and adventures, got to go cliff jumping. Monday rolls around, wake up, say bye and make my way to grand canyon. yeah! time to start chapter 2 of this adventure! So i get there and they're like nope and im like what and theyre like sorry and im like, now i know why they call it xanterrable.. 

So in a span of 10 minutes i go from employed at the grand canyon to unemployed and pretty much homeless in arizona. (being surrounded by forests, its really not that bad of a deal) so i have my moment of panic/stress/sadness. with a fairly salty attitude, proceed to look at the grand canyon.. cool a giant crack in the ground.. like i said, i was pretty salty.. and then me and nigel drive around the park aimlessly, realize how small this is compared to yellowstone, realize how much we love yellowstone.. go on a dope hike in flagstaff, fall a little bit in love with flagstaff, then make our way back to phoenix. thank god for markie.. if theres any friend i could have by my side in this situation its her. 

Nigel pretending to care.

And now it's Thursday.. monday: panic, tuesday: apply for jobs, wednesday: markie gives me chores, thursday: oh thursday! so in 3 days i went from being unemployed in arizona with no job options to having to make a choice between 4 different jobs.. hired on the spot at a cafe in sedona which is a hell of a town. great interview at a hotel in the heart of flagstaff, BIG SKY CALLED! and then the real kicker.. XANTERRA strikes again! calls me up today, tells me theres been an error and that the job is still available if i want it... WHAT THE SHIT LIFE?! Also i'm really starting to like phoenix. so really i have 5 options to chose from.. 

Grand canyon is like that ex that breaks up with you and then a few days later says nevermind, baby come back. and i'm like hell nah! but you're kinda cute and i kinda like you so i'm tempted but wait, you did me dirty so NOPE!

Sedona is gold, total babe, no games, invites you over and then suddenly makes you sleep on the couch

Flagstaff is like going to chili's for steak fajitas when you could get local organic filet mignon grilled to perfection for the same price elsewhere.

Phoenix is a total babe but kind of playing hard to get.

And Big Sky is that perfet 10 that you try to convince yourself you could never get but then you do and once you do you spend the whole time talking yourself out of the entire situation and end up ruining the whole relationship which could have turned out really great.

OH.. there's also home, I could go home, work at the surf shop for winter and come back this way for spring. but that feels kind of like contacting that mediocre bootycall that you haven't talked to in a year.

So.. thats my life right now.
