So most of my fan base out there has probably noticed that Brent's Appalachian Trail blog is no longer up. After my most loyal fans created a Facebook tribute to my blog, it started to get way too much traffic. I got a call from the president of Blogspot imploring me to take down my blog.
But good news! I've upgraded from a basic account to a basic account plus. I can now handle dozens of visitors per day to Brent's Appalachian Trail Blog: This Time it's Personal.
On a more serious note, some of you may have heard that I got a little bit drunk this weekend. I didn't think my friends would leave me to die (you know what you did Tim). After outrunning a band of thugs in Atlanta, I found the safest hiding place I could - the sidewalk in front of a Citgo gas station. My survival skills developed on the trail had kicked in. I had also seen an episode of Man vs. Wild in which Bear Grylls had made an elaborate bed using nothing more than leaves and sticks. I didn't have any leaves or sticks, so I had to improvise - I used a trash bag for warmth. In the madness of it all I lost my keys and wallet, but luckily no search party was needed because I kept my trusty phone.
All of this madness made me realize something - who is Brent? When I went home and looked into the mirror, I no longer recognized the man staring back at me. Could I keep up this up forever? I realized there was only one thing that could be done. I have to face the facts and take control of my life. I have to return. I have to go back to where it all began...
