Alex & the Town of Horace, ND
So when I drive from Grand Forks to Vermillion, or in this case the reverse, it’s fairly uneventful. For a majority of the drive there are large communities every hour or so to provide wondrous breaks. From the North Dakota/South Dakota border to Fargo is seventy miles. Seventy miles without a town or gas station on sight. While on this stretch, I had to pee.
Now, my Starbucks addiction...

Breaking the Ice... with a Walrus
I text my dear friend Megan (MeganTriumphant.tumblr.com @MeganTriumphant) daily, I usually don’t start with hello for that would be boring. So I thought it’d be fun to share some of the things I say to start conversations.
I’m going to start a goldfish ranch.

Poker Rock Dance Number
I had the choice to learn the choreography for either Party Rock Anthem or Poker Face. The one looks difficult but when it is broken down is quite simple, the other looks simple but is actually quite complex. (Guess which is which and I’ll give you a cookie, maybe, probably not) Oh, I made Cake Balls and ate four in one sitting, I am single handedly furthering American Obesity. GO AMERICA!...

Voice on Radio: Was anyone else smart enough to bring potato chips on their cross country?
Second Voice on Radio: Nope [laughs] that actually sounds pretty good.
Liam: [laughs] Come on Alex, where's our inflight snack?
Alex: Hey! I had Chex Mix in my flight bag, but I went to the DMV today so I got bored and ate it.

Dry-Hump Day
It’s Wednesday, and I selected a racy name for this post. “But Alex, what about you censorship habits?!” Simple, if you know what it is, you’re amused; if you don’t, then it’s harmless. Seriously, today is dry. Lack of humidity is Air Conditioning’s mighty downfall.

The Sky is Falling
I have enough hair to style an Afro. Seriously, this is a problem. I’m avoiding going out in public because the only hairdo I can pull off is the one politicians sport when they announce their candidacy or their affair or something… Whatever, I now have time to avoid emptying my dishwasher.
There are enough clothes on my floor to stock a suburban mall. (the kind that’s closing...

Sum of My Reality Check
“When did I become such a hypocrite
Double life, lies that you caught me in
Trust me I’m paying for it
With every move I die
On the floor I’m just a zombie
Who I am is not who I wanna be
I’m such a tragedy
With every move I die”
-Ke$ha (Dancin’ with Tears in my Eyes)
