Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • The dreamy, magnificent, and endlessly explorable, Acadia.

    Oh boy… Is it time to go back yet?! Alright, how do you explain heaven on earth? Especially in just one blog post?! Fudge. Ok. Let’s start here; something has to be said for a place that offers the majestic mountain top first to be touched by the suns beautiful colorful rays, and welcoming warmth each morning (in the US). The…

  • Two more weeks of FLAT… But who’s counting…Til then, the RailTrail is keeping me sane

    I had heard about the infamous ‘rail-trail’ from just about everyone. 26 miles of biking, running, walking, snowshoeing, or skiing heaven. Having grown up with it basically in my back yard, this turned out to be like the small yellow house on your way to work you drive by every day for 20 years and never…

  • To New Beginnings….And kicking it off with the Turtle Killers

    And so, all the sudden, I jumped, and took a leap of faith… ITS OFFICIAL. Resignation is in with no job in sight, and so, after 11 years, I am done with the Corp gig in only a few weeks. The ball is rolling and it’s a fun, crazy, outside adventure ball with road-tripping, camping,…

  • The Turtle Killers Take on Heaven’s Waiting Room

    Well, it’s official, the summer of fun is off with a big bang, like giant sea turtle into the windshield kinda bang. Between Jesus the minivan-driving-disco-ball-rocking Uber driver, getting cornered by Whitey Bulger’s Naples counterpart, driving around fancy-pants Naples in a white car speckled in blood that looked like we just killed someone, melting into…

  • Into the water…

    Salty Goodness 🙂 I love the water. Always have. The running joke in my family and with my friends, is course, that I am part fishy. If there is water, and I can get in without hypothermia, its gonna happen.  And good luck getting me out.  There is something soothing and refreshing to me about…

  • Listen to your Heart. Make your Soul happy:-)

    WARNING – this is probably not my typical post. Yes, it has to do with playing outside, and being happy and having fun – but we’re going a bit deeper on this one. For those that don’t want to see my sappy side, turn away now, we’re going there 🙂 So, as most have probably…

    Nanamocomuck & Bear Notch

    Postholing Ahole 🙂 Today’s ride was the definition of hard a** and kick a**, all together tied up with a nice bruised and battered (yet happy) bow.  What started with a little hiccup, landed in a day that is best described by one of my favorite quotes:

    New Spot! And it rocked :) Stratham Hill

    I am starting to wonder if there is or should be a 12-step program for fatbikers… No? I get it now. My name is Jess, and I am a Fatbike addict 🙂 (certainly not making fun of the real 12-steps!!!!)… So now that I can openly admit I am instant and complete Fatbike addict, let’s talk…

Got any book recommendations?
