The correct top 100 pro athletes of the 21st century
The worldwide leader, ESPN, released its rankings of the top 100 pro athletes of this century, and I have never seen the Internet this united before. ESPN’s list sucks, and here is the correct rankings. This is solely based from Jan. 1, 2000, until now, so any statistics from the 90s mean absolutely nothing here. […]
Road trip day 20: Am I a groupie?
My favorite part of my drive back toward the East Coast has been figuring things out on a day-by-day basis. The downside? I may have become a Maggie Rogers groupie. I saw Maggie a few days ago in Arkansas at what I thought was the best concert of my life. That was until I learned […]
Road trip day 19: Is Buc-ee’s a cult?
I had the previous day circled on the calendar as a highlight to end my road trip, but I knew I needed to make at least one more stop. I needed to stop at a place of legend, a place my northeastern brain could not comprehend, a place one can only truly understand by going […]
Road trip day 18: The best concert of my life
Since leaving California, I have been figuring my days out as they arrive. So when I noticed that my favorite artist, Maggie Rogers, was performing right where I’d be driving through, it felt like fate. I spent the previous night on the road at a random rest stop near Amarillo Texas. So, I had about […]
Road trip day 17: Are aliens real?
If there are two things in this world I don’t mess with, it’s ghosts and aliens. Today, we are going to focus on the latter of the two (please don’t haunt me ghosts). Day 17 of my trip took me to White Sands National Park (we will talk about this at the end) and alien-haven […]
Road trip day 16: Making friends in Albuquerque
One of my biggest goals before going on this trip was learning to get comfortable going out on my own and meeting new people. So when I found myself at an Albuquerque brewery by myself, I thought it was as good of a time as ever to do so, especially after the phenomenal night I […]
Road trip day 15: The Grand Canyon is actually cool
Honest to God I thought the Grand Canyon was going to be a tourist trap that wasn’t that cool. I couldn’t have been more wrong about that. In my head, anything that a ton of people go to can’t be the best of the best. For Buffalo, Duffs and Anchor Bar are good but are […]
Road trip day 14: I am getting beat up by a grill
Yes, that headline is correct; I am getting beat up physically and emotionally by a grill. During my cross-country expedition, I brought along with me a little grill so I could eat and also make some grilling content (you win this round Donny). Little did I know, it would be easier for me to do […]
Road trip day 13: Sequoia is a must-visit
Folks, we are officially headed toward the East Coast, and our first stop on our expedition back was Sequoia National Park. All I really knew ahead of time was the massive sequoia trees the park got its name for, other than that I knew nothing. I certainly didn’t know about the stunning (and kind of […]
Road trip day 12: A date at the co-ed hammam?
About a year ago, I was studying abroad in Cyrpus and matched with this girl on Tinder. She had a list of things she wanted to do while traveling there, including going to a hammam. I went to one a year prior in Istanbul, so I thought this would be a great cultural experience for […]
