Today is is currently 25 degrees and with the 20 mile and hour winds, the weather channel is telling me it feels like 11 outside. I would say that's just about right. Every year when the weather changes and winter really sets in my mood changes to meet the cold weather outside. Not sure why I feel the need to hibernate with the bears and crawl inside myself and reflect on the year. Is it the cold weather, the end to another year? I turned 30 last week and I have been thinking about what that means and where I am at with my life, where I am going, what I am working towards. I have so many amazing friends in my life, a family that is always willing to help out and support me and a wife that is the most amazing person in my life. She is my best friend and supports me through everything I love her with all that I have. What to do? Where to go? So many questions.
Perhaps I just need a warm safe cave to spend this winter and wake up fresh and hungry for life?
I hang out at Albina Press as a lot of you are aware and I walked into the bathroom to find someone had wiped a booger on the wall next to the toilet. Now I have seen this in most mens bathrooms at rest stops and truck stops across the country but to see it in the coffee shop that I love, I was a little surprised. Most of the people are regulars and are in here everyday (I would like to think that the regular crowd is above that). The shop is off the beaten path enough that you don't really get homeless people, transients and some other kind of person I would typically associate this type of behavior.
I am a little embarrassed about how long it had been, but enough of that.
I am sick and I hate it. Worse than that I needed to go to DMV and the DEQ (Oregon's smog inspection) and I was dreading it. I went to a DMV that told me I needed to go to DEQ. DEQ took longer to get to it than to have the inspection done. Very helpful and told me the best DMV to go to and drove their waited about 15 min got all the paperwork done and went from Albina-DMV-DEQ-DMV-Albina in an hour and a half. I love Oregon?
Its Wednesdate and I am here at Albina hanging out with some friends and a great cup of coffee.
I signed up for a Facebook account and my blog activity has dropped dramatically.
...and wonderful friends. This last week I have busy hanging out with Nick Sass and Taylor Smith. Some of my great friends from Redding. We got out a can of red paint and hit the town, not really, but we sure had a great time. Multnomah Falls, The Water trough Saloon, Baghdad Theater, downtown burrito carts, built a new bike, tour-de-portland, sunshine, and many a good memory.
