this guy is my new hero. the second season of man vs. wild just started this summer on the discovery channel and i'm loving every second of it. not that i think i would ever want to get myself into one of these survival situations, but at least i can pretend that if i ever was in that situation i might possibly know something more than how to make a sundial. anyway, after that hike the other day i got that man vs. wild craving again and watch a nice summertime DVR'ed marathon of man vs. wild and even though i know what he's gonna do, i still can't believe it when he drinks water out of elephant poop, or pees on his shirt and wraps it around his head, or jumps over a snowcliff just to show you how to climb your way back up. and i think the worst (and most awesome part) about bear and this show is that you KNOW he doesn't HAVE to do these things. even though he's "stranded" himself out there in all these places, there's at least the cameraman with him, and you know that HE ain't drinking elephant poop! haha, and i'm sure that as much as the things that he does are real, i'm sure there are some things that are staged, but who cares? when you see that guy go all golem on some fish he caught in an ice pond it's just good tv!
hmm... so how long do you think it'll take me to get my own show on the discovery channel? or, how about on olelo? what do you think? matt vs. wild!

I'd lobby for your own show once you do any of these 3 things: Drink juice from any type of animal poo
zebra. definately. where am i gonna find a freshly killed zebra? i don't think i could kill a zebra myself, so i'd probably have to rent a lion or a tiger or a liger to kill a zebra and then hire an elephant to chase the lion or tiger or liger away once they're done killing it and then buy a mouse to chase the elephant away and then put the mouse in a box and then eat the zebra.
aww man, mice have guts. and not like grubs that just smoosh and ooze, but gutst that you can chew and swish around in your mouth... actually wait, that sounds kinda cool.
last night, a little mouse walked into our house. we leave the screen door open for the rat-fink (that's what i call her sometimes) and the little guy just strolled in. Then, I think this is what he thought, "oh, where does this go? oh crap, why is it so bright in here. holy crap, holy crap, gotta get out now!" It was funny. maybe you can borrow him?
if you're reading this you'll learn a little more about... not who i am, but about who i think i would like to be. it's about what i want to fill my life with, and what i want to live by. hopefully it'll give me a chance to do some creative expression and maybe make you laugh every once in awhile.
also, i was bored.

hmm... i only know where to get the mouse.
you could eat the mouse. Would that count?
Fine. If he eats the mouse, it has to be alive.
And Matt has to hold it by the tail and lower it into his mouth.
