Time: 15 min Cost: $0 Difficulty: Easy Peezey Sexual Innuendo: Overflowing This Farm “Boymen” is Finally Earning his Stripes Hell ya I lived on an acreage for the first 18 years of my life. Hell ya we had chickens, pigs, sheep, ducks and cows. Did I ever milk any of those animals during those 18 years? First off that’s a silly question because you can’t milk chickens.

Posted on Stephen1 CommentPosted in Best of Season 1, Blog, Season 1, Uncategorized

Time: 3 Days Cost: $120 (850 Bs) Difficulty: Incredibly Level of Danger: High   We were higher than a kite… and the clouds, and the tallest building on earth (828 meters), even higher than a Agusta A109E helicopter can hover (3082 meters), …the list goes on. To start, I would like to define myself as a relatively fit individual. From time to time I will do a pushup or two, jump the jacks or go for a bike ride. As far as skinny dudes in their early 20’s go, I’m pretty average. Which, would suggest that climbing up some steep hills […]

Time: 2 Hours Cost: 40 Bolivianos Difficulty: Easy as crappin your pants in a foreign country Badassery: Pretty Darn badass if you ask me   So… I got Arrested… Yep, this classic middle class white kid consistently getting into shenanigans and consistently getting away with them as finally had long arm of the law come crashing down on him (in a developing country known for its extra sketchy jails non the less). Well at least for a few hours anyways. I mean its Bolivia, and in Bolivia, paper runs the world. No, not paper as in money, actual paper. Apparently […]

#36) Deadliest Weapon Made from Things Found in a Bolivian Market

Posted on Stephen1 CommentPosted in Blog, Season 1, Travel, VS.

Time: 2 Hours Cost: $7.50 Difficulty: Easy Peezy Likeliness of Getting Arrested: Increased by 50%   No Hablo Mucho Espanol As a 22 year old individual who has never learned (or had the need to learn) another language outside of English, trying to pick up another language as been incredibly difficult for me. That said, even though my Spanish was far from perfect (or hardly recognizable to people outside of the tourist industry) I feel pretty good with the progress I’ve made. I’m able to barter in pretty much all situations, ask a taxi how long the ride is, tell […]

This said, there are definitely certain individuals who who can rock the shit of a well groomed moustache. In order to determine whether or not you would be fit for such a challenge I […]

Time: No Way to tell Cost: Not too sure to be honest Difficulty: This whole thing is so abstract Badassery Increased? Hell ya Metal is Commitment I will never claim to be an expert on music culture, as a matter of fact, I wouldn’t even say I have a better understanding of music culture when compared to the average individual. But what I can say without question, is that from the individuals I have met and know in the metal scene, they are  some of the most dedicated and hardcore fans I have ever met. Even on its own, the […]

Time: 3-9 hours Cost: $30-$50 Difficulty: Pretty Darn Difficult Increase in Guitar Playing Skills: lol…Nope The solution to how to shred faster…potentially Okay I’ll admit it, version 1.0 of the shred pick could use some work….maybe a lot of work. But nothing great was ever created on its first try, and maybe one day you’ll be looking back at this video wishing you invested in 52skillz and the shred pick dream! Maybe by version 12 it will be playing itself and serving champagne, but until then there’s this. Though the project didn’t turn out as planned, I am willing to […]
