Random thoughts by Nigel.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t like to share too much. Cause I don’t want people who expect something from me the last thing I need is everybody expecting a well articulated Christmas card or some other dumb bullshit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m just a mountain man that wants minimal attention from anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve kinda figured this shit out on a fly, but it’s hard for me to share it without hot spotting and blowing up all my favorite spots. The minute those spots get popular. They come with broken windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trash everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And people, and I’m aware I sound like the scrooge. Or the Grinch that stole Christmas but with the way the internet’s working these days, I just kinda keep to myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
