For the past few months I've been kicking it up here on the Rockies, living the single man lifestyle. I've been living on property where I work, basically eliminating the need to drive to work and saving a lot on gas money. Sadly that's a bit forfeited by the insane distance it takes to get to the nearest Wal-Mart or Target (Try a 40 minute drive).

What I do obviously is try to be as minimal as possible and get what I absolutely need, not necessarily want. As such, baring a few things that come up my shopping list consists of the following week after week so I don't die of starvation;

A box of Cheez-its
A 24-Pack of Coca-Cola
A loaf of bread, along with turkey slices and cheese slices
Cereal? Maybe

The Diet of Champions I say.

Now things such as shampoo and toothpaste aren't really on the list as I can make that shit last for weeks. Hell I'm sure I'm still on the same bottle of shampoo that I originally brought with me in November. I make that shit last, and my folks even bought me back ups before I left, so I'm good until I leave in March.

I must say, this whole living on my own thing feels rewarding. A bit quiet, and right now I'm fighting a throat infection so that's pissing me off, but things look good for a more permanent return next winter when the new owners turn the Silvertree into a Westin.

And holy shit, is that going to kick my career in the right direction and feel so good...

And this summer? If things go as planned, oh holy shit... Mmmm...
