Montana thoughts: Part 1





This summer I was presented with an interesting decision, spend time with girls in provo or hang out with fish in Montana, this decision was not a difficult one to make. 

I think a lot while I am in Montana, fishing and being outside help me think clearly and feel pretty stupid about past decisions.  These moments of clarity need to be recorded and they led me to this post and it will probably be followed by others.


                                                I am always loosing shoes

Montana is not a bad place for someone like me to spend part of the summer, in fact it is the perfect place to spend a summer.  There are even babes here, you just have to dig a little deeper to find them.  If you manage to find one, they generally have their heads on straight. . .a rare find in Provo.  But I am getting off topic.

There are two things that everyone should know about me. One, I love Montana more than anything in this world and two, I get uncomfortable when people sing acapella in public.  Many people however do not understand why I love Montana so much and why I am so happy here.  I don’t really understand how you could be really happy anywhere else.  So here are just three reasons off the top of my head why I love Montana so much:
  • Montana stays light till after ten in the summer
  • I commonly smell of gasoline, fresh cut grass, fish, gunpowder or campfire while in Montana.  If you are a man and have not smelled like all of these things at one time or another in your life, you may want to reconsider your supposed masculinity.  If this upsets you, you may want to reconsider your feelings as you may be having your period. 
  • Montana has 1.4 elk, 1.4 antelope, 3.3 deer and 896 fish per square mile.  There are only 6 people per square mile in Montana.  Utah has 27.2 people per square mile. 




Don’t get me wrong, I love Utah.  But Montana is my muse, fishing is my therapy and I want to find a girl that is comfortable in the forest.  A lot of girls elsewhere claim to be outdoorsy but they actually get real bored outside.  My dream girl does not need to want to fish or hike or be active in the woods, but she can just hang out in the forest or by the lake for hours and be content.  So in other words, I will probably be single for a while.

                                              
               My ideal woman, aside from being blue and ten feet tall, and the whole weird ponytail thing

Dear Wes, reading these last few posts make me miss you and miss Montana. I downloaded "A River Runs Through it" earlier today and thought of you. I would absolutely love to take another trip up there like the old days and hang at Big Fork or just pee in Gilbert's urinal. Keep up the clever writing... hipsters tangeled up in their iPhone Apps! Nice. I miss you. I can still smell you on me.
