caffeine-induced updates!

Hey I'm on a roll so I thought I'd make up for lost time...

I haven't written about my Virginia trip yet, but doing a little field work did wonders to redefine what I am doing with myself. Trapsing along the ocean in the misty night, the beach illuminated by my headlamp, I remembered exactly why I went into Natural Resources in the first place! Scanning the beach for horseshoe crabs while the mosquitos feasted upon me was a certain kind of fun that only a scientist could appreciate, I'm sure; but I've never been the type to sit still or stay indoors so I had the time of my life!

Now, instead of entertaining thoughts of graphic design, construction, landscaping, modeling, art, or marrying a rich old man, I am once again on track (or as much as I will ever be in my random-whim habit) to pursue a career in my field. Well, at least my renewed determination is there; it won't be any easier, but at least I won't waste my energy trying to do everything else in the world for right now.

Emphasis on right now. It's just in my blood to have this insatiable curiosity for everything! I live to live! There is so much I want to do!

...And I crash from my caffeine high. ;)

I took a spin on my mountain bike at Lakeshore Park today. Any locals need to check it out - very technical and lots of fun. I suck, so I think it's hard but well worth the blood, sweat and tears!

Earlier this evening I was watching VH1's hottest hotties... I have a fetish for hotties, LOL! Especially in the spring, when all those tanned, muscular landscape and construction guys come out of hiberation... I'm worse than a guy when it comes to checking them out. We'll just say I have my dark sunglasses for more than UV protection. ;) Tricks of the trade, you see. Nothing beats Colin Ferrell, Brad Pitt, and a young George Cloony though! [drooling on self...]

Which brings me to a sad-but-true conversation I had today with Jenna... I am damned in this culture of metro-sexual men. Sensitive, well-dressed, well-groomed, and well-behaved?! GASP! What has American culture done to all the REAL men?! Heather loves her metros and most of my exs are to some degree... But notice they are all EXs. This means the relationships didn't WORK, LOL (sorry Steve)! Metros are not for me. I like my men to be stubborn, macho, and sarcastic; rugged, tough, and outdoorsy; no styling products in his hair; carharts and t-shirts! Football and hockey! Pretty much the exact opposite of the types of guys I grew up with. Sure, those mountain men exist IN THE MOUNTAINS! Not in metro Detroit, though. If you see one, send him in my direction (except Marc - jackass!); they're endangered around here.

And so revealed is the truth as to why I want to move back to Colorado - men. ;)
