Intro

I came to Montana to distance myself for a time from the place and people I love; this is a masculine impulse  that many naturally born Americans and perhaps many immigrants feel the need to act on (Otto Weininger would be so proud).  It's part of that whole Manifest Destiny thing. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time up here so far.  Drew, Jake and Chase have been good friends, coworkers and roommates; we all fill in different roles.  Brooke and Drew and I were able to go into the National Park not to long ago and see Old Faithful and to me it became pretty apparent that I am assuming some kind of father figure role.  I base this off of catching myself (or also at times having it pointed out to me) giving lectures on making good decisions in life during the car ride there and also when I told Drew, as he was moving his hand near the old water heaters, to "Be careful, it's hot, and you'll burn your hand." Eating pizza without it giving me heart burn and regular bowel movements seem to be all I ask for these days. 

I am spending a good portion of time up here reading and distilling my views on philosophy and theology (which I pretty much just keep to myself for the sake of everyone else).  Other than our pretty good looking Bountiful girl friends living here as well, there really isn't much potential up here as far as the dating scene goes.  Coincidentally, I am doing a little experiment on myself where I eat a clove of garlic everyday to see what the effect will be on my overall health.  I'll definitely keep everyone posted on the results.
