Everybody has a to do list. You know what I mean, THE TO DO LIST, as in things to do before you die. My dad always tells me to just do everything, because when you get old, the motivation is gone, you keep making excuses and you just wish you were still young again. Well I’m only 28 and I already feel like a old man. Most of my friends consider me athletic, but you have to consider the consequences of athleticism. Which is physical abuse, of course. I have a bad right knee, two gimpy fingers, two bad wrists, and a bad right shoulder. Because I’m blessed with youth I can still rock climb, run, cycle, surf and swim. So I must take advantage of this youthful state I’m in. Things I’ve already crossed off the list are: skydiving, white water rafting, bungee jumping, driving race cars, rock climbing, jumping out of a moving car, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, distance cycling, mountain biking (the real kind) and backpacking. The next adventure is to climb a mountain. Just think of how cool it is! You get to say you actually climbed a mountain. Just the fact that we have the expression “you have to climb mountains…” is a testament to how incredible it is! Think of the confidence and unbelievable feeling of accomplishment.

I was going to attempt to climb mount rainier by myself this summer until I got some new information. First, the national park service will not issue permits for anyone to go alone. Second, you must cross a glacier to reach the summit. This means that you have to know crevasse rescue techniques. Since I have never crossed a glacier before I would have to go up there and take a crevasse rescue class which is here:

My main reason for wanting to go at it alone is because I didn’t think anyone is adventurous enough to take on this challenge. I would like to go with a partner or a team, if any of you would like to come. My other choices would be: looking for a partner on craigslist or going with an expedition team, which is here:

I’m wondering if anyone would like to take me up on one of these offers. I will provide the transportation. And I also plan to stay a couple of days in Seattle to see friends, site see, party and over self indulge in decadence and mischief.

The other day I counted 15 people with Ipods on the back the L Taraval. That was just one car and only half the car. I started thinking, you see peeps all over the place with those things on. Then I thought, what’s wrong with that? Well there are tons of things wrong with it. It puts the Ipod user into an isolated bubble. It says “hey! I’m out in public, but I’m not really.” You may say “Is that bad?” Yes it is I say. We already live in a technological dominated world of isolation. What’s gonna happen to our future when nobody knows how to talk to anybody. Nobody even gets real dates anymore. Everybody is on fucking bullshit eharmony. Most of the guys I know don’t even know how to talk to a girl they just met. They can’t even talk to a guy that they just met. Take off your fucking Ipod! Music was meant to bring people together not to isolate you from the world. I’m not 100% against it. Life is just more fun somtimes when there’s a soundtrack. It’s almost like you’re in a movie. Remember this though, happiness is only real when shared. So share your headphones with a friend. Pop those ear pieces off every once in a while and talk to somebody. Haven’t you ever thought about all the cool people in the world that you’re never gonna meet? Humans are social beings, that is just our nature. This is me CrazyChan I love people and I want to bring everybody together. One more thing, if you’re shy remember this, if you fall down fucking get back up!

As all of you should know already, I’m on a bent rampage to get my B.A. in nursing. Now here is what I have a problem with. When I tell people my goal this is what they usually say “wow, you’re gonna make so much money” What I’m thinking after that is WTF is money all that matters? Out of all the people I’ve told only one person has said how a nurse has made someone’s life better. Somewhere along the way on this fantastic voyage called life I realized that everything I ever wanted is not anything that I wanted. All I know is I don’t buy into the “house, 2 cars, 2.5 kids and a dog.” Has the American dream turned into “life, liberty and the pursuit of money?”

It’s the fucking American corn conspiracy! Let’s restate some facts: American corn is subsidized by the government, corn in America is mostly genetically modified, GMO’s are destroying the health of all Americans.
Are you ready for more? Here it goes, because corn is subsidized farmers make more money growing corn more than wheat. Right now corn has even more government incentives, because of the U.S.’s ethanol production as an alternative fuel. What does this mean Chanman, you ask? Well farmers are switching from growing wheat to corn. Which means that we have a wheat shortage. In the past couple of years wheat has gone from 9 dollar a bag to 45 dollars a bag. That is a fucking 500% increase. It rising faster than our fuel prices! If you did not already notice, everything that contains wheat is rising in price. Even my Ambrosia, BEER! That is not the end of it. Because all of our corn is going to ethanol, the corn for human consumption cost more. Here’s another fact, a large percentage of Latin America’s corn is exported from the U.S. but since we’re using it for fuel, they are going hungry. If you ask me that’s gonna mean more illegal immigrants(note: I have no problem with immigrants). Here’s another fact, ethanol has less BTU’s than gasoline so it requires more of it to travel the same distance. That means more out of your pocket. Another fact, corn is not the best way to make ethanol, it takes more energy to produce than it can put out(Harvard research study 2007) So why are they using corn? BECAUSE IT’S FUCKING SUBSIDIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT. It all comes down to the mighty dollar…… Can you imagine it? The future! A world of famine, disease and hunger.

Right now at this very moment my eyes are half closed and for some unknown reason my mind is fighting the sandman. Insomnia at 3 am has provoked me to write the first part of my story. It’s not gonna be very long cuz I can’t think very well right now. So here’s an intro to the story of my struggle.
AWESOME! Look at all the colors!!! What? who’s that? where’s that? was that a ghost? How much can I do before I O.D.? You don’t know? Well let’s find out? WHAT? combining drugs is gonna kill me? Whatever! lemme try it and I’ll be the judge of that. One more is not gonna hurt me. Who do you know? Who can I call? Hook me up man! Is it 2am already? Damn It! That was some good shit!….. Three days later I wake up with no pants, porn blasting on the computer and I’m under the fucking bed. In a semi conscious state I ask myself “Where the fuck am I?” I get up look at myself in the mirror and think “The dragon has got me how do I escape?”

In my new quest to become a better writer, I’ve decided to Chronicle my battle with addiction which is still going on right now.

Hold on and never let go. These are the 6 words that represent my life. Although there is very deep meaning in this I will only touch on freedom. Particularly what makes me feel free. Which is riding and climbing. It’s my tunnel vision, it’s my meditation and my own religion. When I ride I hold on and let the world take me. It’s absolute freedom, the wind is in my hair, the sun is at my back and there are no rules no restrictions, just ride. Ride long, ride fast and ride hard. When I climb a rock there is something almost Zen about it, there is only two things in the world just you and the rock. The only thing I think about is how to get to the top and never let go. It’s almost a metaphor for life. Now will you come along and ride with me on this fantastic voyage?

Now I’m a little buzzed right now so excuse any misspellings…. Well I misspell stuff all the time anyways……

GMO’s GMO’s GMO’s! A few years ago I would of told you an uneducated theory about them. I would of told you that they are necessary for the world’s ever increasing population. They are resistant to disease, grow fast, resistant to drought, taste good, they’re asthetically better and are rich in nutrients. Guess what I was fucking wrong! I belived all the media hype. Yes I admit it I was a drone, but now I know the truth.
This is the story of High Fructose Corn Syrup. Yes, you heard it right, a product that’s in almost everything we eat. So you ask now what’s wrong with sugar Chanman? Well that question is the first thing wrong with it. The first thing is that it is not real sugar. It’s not the table sugar we’re all thinking about. It comes from geneticaly modified corn, corn that’s been modified to be sweeter. That same modification has altered the way our bodies metabolize it. Most of the time someone thinks about sugar, they think about the rush they get when they eat it. This is not the case with HFCS. Our bodies metabolize it in the liver. The process begins with the liver turning it into trigylcerides (which is fat) and it alters the way we produce insulin, which is escenssial to the way we metabolize blood sugar. So that makes it a double wammy! We get fat and we become diabetic. Well I’ll admit that you have to be genetically prone to diabetes to become diabetic, but this accelerates it. Why do you think America has the highest percentage of diabetes in the world? The EU has already banned GMO’s and america is fat and diabetic. You may think that there is not that much HFCS in your food. I’m gonna prove you wrong. In one pack of ketcup from Mcdonald’s is one table spoon of HFCS. In Yoplait yougurt, which is product that’s marketed as healthy there is 10 table spoons of HFCS. Remember the last time you put 10 table spoons of sugar in your coffee? It was like a sugar explosion!
FUCKING CHEW ON THAT!
Let’s see how far we’ve come.

I’m not really a fan of Klondike bars but I would steal one from Neil

Facebook is one of the most ridiculous sites ever. What good is it for? Why would anybody want to superpoke? What the fuck is superpoke anyway. How come so many people like it? I really do not understand. It’s like that site was thought up by a third grader or worse yet some geek that’s been living in a cave who thinks text games are still the greatest thing since sliced bread. To me the only thing it’s good for is inviting friends to events. That’s it! You can do that with a phone or email anyways. I have a real life that has nothing to do with superpoking or writing on your wall.
Some of you would say that myspace is a ridiculous site too. I could not agree with you more that myspace is a fucking retartded social networking site. People spend too much time “pimping out” thier pages. I’m so sick of thanx for the add comments. I use myspace for two things only: again one of them is to invite my friends to events, the other is music.
Myspace does an incredible job promoting independent bands. So good in fact that they have their own tour and record label. If you’re sick of the bullshit that clearchanel and the rest of big radio puts on the air then myspace music is a godsend. Two of the best shows I’ve ever seen was discovered on there.
In closing, all social networking site SUCK! But myspace music rules!
