Chillin in Flint now. I was torn between kicking out some jams on the geetar, or updating this site. We can see who obviously won the battle. So in the interest of appeasing my ego, and perhaps answering any crazy questions all of you (my fans) may have. I figure I'd answer assorted questions that i've been asked since getting back, because hey, who's more interesting than me?

Q: Stop Talking to me! ! Where did you go hiking?
A: The appalachian trail. It goes from Georgia to Maine and stays in this narrow corridor of wilderness most of the time. I hiked from Georgia to Pennsylvania. It took me like 2 1/2 months.

Q: What's that thing growing out of your neck? You didn't grow a beard and have long hair and look like a hippy, did you?
A: That's my head. and in regards to the second question :You bet your ass i did! That was half the fun. No showers for weeks at a time. Walking around barefoot when i could. 1 change of clothes. no beads or tye dyes or volkswagon busses though.

Q: Did you get bored with no one to talk to?
A: No. Because tons of people hike this thing. I probably met a couple hundred people. All kinds of people: crazies, hippies, mullets, hunters, Army Rangers(Scare the hell out of you in the woods), executives who got sick of corporate culture, college students, retired people, mid-life crises, etc. Lots of people. And i'd have to say 99% of the hikers were hella cool and/or badass. The other one percent were annoying and talked about their gear all day to whoever was in range. I hiked faster than them and it wasnt' a problem. There's this whole trail society going on. And we all have different names too, almost all hikers pick a trail name and they go by it the whole time they're hiking. My name was 3-day, in reference to the ammount of time i spent actually planning my trip. You know you're getting acclimated to the trail when you start thinking of yourself by your trail name, or when you start not noticing your own, or other's, stench.

Q: Hey, Monkey Face! What did you eat out there?
A: I ate lots of granola, cheese, summer sausage(until i became a vegetarian), m & m's, crackers, peanut butter, cookies. All kinds of good stuff. I didn't take a stove with me( i only met one other person who did that on the trail) because it was way easier. I resupplied by getting boxes of food mailed to me, general delivery, at various towns that i passed through, i also augmented that by buying food at grocery markets.

Q: Weren't you scared out there?
A: No. It's the woods, not downtown flint, i didn't take a gun or a giant knife, and i felt perfectly safe the whole time too. A gun would really kill the whole vibe going on out there anyways. You just have to use common sense.

That's it for this edition.
