No Reservations.

            "I write, I travel, I eat and I'm hungry for more."  
Have you ever seen No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain?  If not, I charge you with going to the travel channel (or Netflix) and watching at least one episode. By "at least", I mean your first - but not your last. No Reservations is not the kind of show you only watch once. It is the type of show you watch over and over again. You watch his shows based in every country you know of, and then move on to ones you really don't know much about. You put it on while you clean the house, while you cook dinner, while you work out. ...but maybe that's just me. 
Here's what happens in a typical show: Anthony Bourdain journeys to some country (any and every country), eats their food, and throws out cynical, sarcastic, and sometimes friendly remarks.
It is fantastic.
Inspiring.
Eerily nostalgic.
And slightly offensive.
Is there a better job? I would give just about anything to get paid to travel, eat and write.

I can't entirely think of a justifible reason to start a blog. It could be attributed to the fact that my brother's new girlfriend has one (and I think it's quite hip), or to my recent lack of writing and, in turn, my recent, deep-chested desire for writing. A creative outlet. Let's call it that. Or a creative documentation. For Sola, my someday girl. (And, of course, for Everest, Benjamin, and Caroline, too).
Yes, a creative documentation.
