Amtrekker
Hey Team,
I’m an unemployed vagrant. All I have is a backpack full of technology, a shoestring budget and a very important list. When everything is crossed off my list I get to go home! Let me know if you want to trade one of those shoestrings for help. brett@amtrekker.com

I Don’t Scream, But I Do Cry.:

Hey Team,

I’m sad to say I have mixed feelings about yesterday. Yes, I got to cross another one off my list (#48). But at what cost? It seems this trip isn’t just about exploration and good times. It’s also about sacrifice.

Before yesterday I could not have imagined a time or place I could have been more depressed. More importantly, I could NEVER have imagined feeling a sadness that could run so deep. I’ve lived a fairly happy life and I’ve yet to lose a close family member, so up until yesterday when discussions steered toward loss I found myself unable to relate.

Now I know pain.

Mourning a loss

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough R.I.P. You will be missed.

I’m done.

Brett.





Want to help buy my way out of depression?


Seriously, it might take the pain away. You never know ’til you try.

  1. I feel your pain, Brett. I’m more of a Cherry Garcia kind of a guy, but I know what you’re going through. Time to move on. It’s in a better place now.

  2. Aww well this is interesting…so how many different tombstones were there? That actually is kinda sad…

  3. Brett- I am feeling EVERY ounce of your saddness right now. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough has & always will be my favorite flavor. I still haven’t forgiven Ben (or Jerry for that matter) for taking that flavor off the market. WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?!?!?!?!?
