I am here for Friends

About Me

The story of Dan is as follows:
I was born in Springfield, IL, where I spent the first 19 years of my life. It was during those 19 years that I realized that Springfield was not the town for me. Actually. it was probably much earlier that I came to that realization, but it was 1999 when I moved to Chicago. Good times were had, but money was not being made, so it wasn't too long before I was back in Springfield. So there I was, back in my parents house, only instead of having a room in the basement it was across the hall from my parents. Not really the place I wanted to be. So about 6 months later I packed my bags and moved out to Gunnison, CO. Once again, many good times were had, and I met some of the most interesting characters there, but the small mountain town life was not for me. I needed my city back. So I made plans with a good friend of mine to move back up to Chicago. It was all set. Until about a week or so before I moved back when said friend decided to move to Hawaii instead. So back to Springfield I went. Only this time, along with having a shittier, smaller room, I had to pay rent as well. Awesome. Then, somehow, what was supposed to be about a 3 month stint turned into 3 years. At my parents house. This, right here, was the coolest I'd ever be. In the summer of 2003 I travelled coast to coast, funding the trip almost entirely by selling burritos in parking lots. Try it out. It worked for me. In February of 2004 I moved to Austin, TX, which despite being surrounded by Texas, is the greatest city in the country. I live with my girlfriend and two beagles. I have no tattoos. And I'm getting hairier. One day at LLCC I skipped class to watch a hypnotist. It was during this that I decided not to go back to school for a long time. Dairy is my favorite food group.

Mullet man, you stole my heart...

Today, as I was walking down S. Congress, I came across a man who appeared to be in his 40's, but he could have been a 20-year-old meth head for all I know. And this man, well, he had one spectacular ...

Dumb people.

I know Austin is a pretty liberal town, but every once in a while it seems that a little bit of Texas still manages to leak in. This was in the letters-to-the editor section of our paper today..."They...

It's Not A Blog. It's A Blag.

So, I've decided to further cave in to dorkiness in my soul. Yes, I think it's time to try out this Blog bullshit. But, that word - Blog. It just doesn't sit right. It sounds like something that just ...
