As the proud owner of a 2015 Ford Escape SE, I feel obligated to let everyone know that this car is a massive steaming pile of garbage. However, it is my massive steaming pile of garbage, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’ve put 100,000 miles (80,000 kilometers) on the car since I got it in July 2018 (odometer’s at 227,000 miles as of 8 Feb 2025) and you better believe me when I say I’m going to drive this thing until the engine blows up.

== Travel Wishlist ==

OK, I have a little more space to pad before getting to the next section. I think I put a little too much stuff into the userbox section. Who cares? Here’s a list of places that I would like to visit one day. I organized this list by country and I’m giving it in no particular order. It’s a long list but I would absolutely love to explore the world. It’s not an exhaustive list by any means, despite how much I’ve crammed in here. We’ll see how many of these places I can see before I die. Maybe I can get a big chunk play off and cross a bunch of these off my list if I win the lottery. Would be hard to do that though, not because of the impossible odds to win the lottery, but because I don’t gamble to begin with.

== Travel Log ==

Ever since I’ve started working for my current employer, I’ve been fortunate enough to find myself in a niche where I get to travel semi-frequently as a part of my job. I guess that’s one perk of being a single adult with nothing tying me down to one geographic spot. I did do some traveling here and there in college for fun, but not nearly as much as I would’ve wanted to; mainly due to a lack of money and COVID keeping me home. Nonetheless, I’ve been really enjoying getting to travel around the country and getting my hands dirty with some physical work to break up the monotony of an office job (while also making me grateful I do mostly work in an office). Here’s a list of places that I’ve been to, and when I’ve traveled to them.

* I know this sounds crazy, but ever since I saw a video on the Dalton highway, I’ve always wanted to take the drive up that pass. Obviously, this is something that should only be attempted in the summer, but man it would be so cool to just drive out into the untapped wilderness of the north. I’ve long wondered what it would feel like to be at the upper extremes of the planet. Would be something I want to do one day.

Hello I’m plainawesome. I know the name is dumb but I made it when I was 10. I decided to make my Wikipedia account active again as I would like something to do in my downtime and I am a huge nerd nonetheless, so I figured why not just go off and do some things whenever I have some downtime. Besides, I already spend a good portion of my day on here anyway. Also yeah, these userboxes are pretty fun. I wonder if I’ll end up going overboard with them.

None, I’m too busy with life lmao. I don’t even know why I made this

Here’s a list of some of my favorite artists to give you an idea of the music I listen to. I do have a Stats.fm profile that I sort of used to help make this list, but I also put my thumb on the scale in certain spots to make this an “all-time” list to account for my pre-Spotify days. Top 15 might be a bit much, but the truth is I listen to a fairly wide variety of music, and even this doesn’t do the full spectrum of genres I listen to justice. I’m also a huge fan of Motown, and love to mix in a little 2000’s pop when I’m feeling nostalgic.

1. David Bowie
2. Billy Joel
3. Oasis
4. The White Stripes
5. Kendrick Lamar
6. The Beatles
7. Yung Gravy
8. bbno$
9. N.W.A.
10. Future
11. Dr. Dre
12. The Rolling Stones
13. Wu-Tang Clan
14. Eminem
15. Eazy-E

• I haven’t been to the Upper Peninsula in nearly five years. Definitely want to take a drive up north and visit Sault Ste. Marie. Any Yoopers, PLEASE let me know if there are any other places I should visit up there, as I honestly don’t have a clue what else is up there.
