a bunch live behind my house... they got another cat I had... the one that was a normal cat that behaved and was cute  they left me with the satan's spawn cat...
I seriously do want to get rid of it but then I feel guilty about it since I took responsibility for it and all that

It rained on and off and we stayed completely dry. That is probably the best thing about the place. The next closest "rainy day" climbing is 4+ hours away. that looks sweet. I'm jealous. Haven't been climbing at all the past several weeks. finding partners has just been a pain. been productive in other ways, but not climbing. set a route the other day. first in a few weeks. That sucks. It's hard enough maintaining partners when you're on your home turf. You seem to keep moving around down there so I would imagine it's pretty hard to get anything regular going. Might have to take up roped soloing as a supplement. I need a car. I can take the bus, but that's a serious pain in the ass. Yes, I could see how getting to the crag via a bus would be difficult. Perhaps you need a VESPA! no freaking way. actually, i've thought about getting a scooter. it'd be way cheaper than the bus every day, but the drivers here are fucking crazy. long story short, there are no traffic police here. too dangerous to walk sometimes. The key is to be so fast and nimble on the scooter that no one can hit you. Greg is, after all, well known for his speed and nimbleness. Ok. That made me laugh for real. Poor bastard must have the ankles of a 90 year old figure skater by now. BWAHAHAHA I AM NOW PICTURIUNG BURNZY IN A SPARKLY BLACK LEOTARD!
Thats not what he wore when you climb with him?? Because thats pretty much exactly what he had on at the NRG.
Maybe he was flirting with me.

Ok, maybe not, but you might recognize that guy in the first 60 sec. http://vimeo.com/41299606 The backstory to that footage is kind of funny/strange. I was down there running laps and I was feeling good so I headed to the farthest accessible pillar to work that route. It's .10a/b and I'd never soloed it, so I didn't really expect to send that day, if ever. Just wanted to check it out. It looks staged but I had no idea that kid was filming when I walked out stretching and scoped the route. He only spoke up when I was putting on my shoes and I told him it was cool to film. I then proceeded to climb up 12-15 foot and worked the crux for ten minutes and then moved over to the arete, skipped the crux and climbed the top. I did that two more times over the next hour and a half and at some point the dude got bored and left. I never expected to actually see any of that footage, let alone edited to make it look like I sent. As far as the route goes, I did not send that day. It wasn't till two weeks and 3 attempts later that I finally did redpoint. yeah, totally looks staged, but cool nonetheless. how'd you find out about it? One of my climbing partners found it randomly on reddit. He called me up laughing his ass off to tell me about it. Haha, that is even funnier! I thought you knew about it. Nope. Had no idea what the footage was for. In other news, I noticed that I was wearing fingernail polish in the video. Doesn't really help my whole "not preening" claim. HAHAHA, I don't know what's funnier - the fact that you're totally preening, or that you've watched the video enough times to notice that :P
You shouldn't be surprised. I believe my vanity is well established at this point. You should ask Greg about my shweet highlights.
Aaaannnyyyway. I actually noticed it the first time because I was like: WTF? 1- Why am I preening? 2- Why did he include that footage? So I backed it up and caught the polish. Just thought to say something now because I saw what I currently have on (a nice sky blue with just a hint of sparkle) as I was typing the post.

Fuck that. I remember driving around the Dominican Republic and seeing 2/3 of the cars with busted out tail lights and fucked up paint jobs and figuring that it must be pretty normal to just get in to a fender bender and not even worry about it. Crazy stuff. You should probably wear your helmet when you go out to the store.

You should just put in a cat door and just hope it doesn't come back one day. You will have plausible deniability.

yeah, and in Curitiba particularly, there's no respect for pedestrians either. Seriously, the reason I haven't posted on my travel blog yet about Brasil (except the one about motels) is because I can't figure this place out. Fucked up for sure, and yet perfectly normal all at the same time. My head is still spinning.

I'm totally reposting this after no one got in on FB:
"You just better start sniffin' your own
rank subjugation jack 'cause it's just you
against your tattered libido, the bank and
the mortician, forever man and it wouldn't
be luck if you could get out of life alive"
