Autumnal wanderlust, or big city blues

[dinosaurjohnson]

Does the urge to travel ever leave a traveler?  I've found through many months of trial, dull-and-dreary clouds and rain, and boorish Chicagoans that the answer to that question, at least for me, is no.  So, it's understandably harder for me to be in a place I love so much knowing I'll soon be on an ass-numbing 22-hour ride back to a city that

Hey there, stranger. I haven't been on livejournal since I posted this, so I just now read your reply. Sorry! I hope you haven't been doubting that I still want to talk to you, or any other nonsense like that. OF COURSE I would love to see you again, soon. Luckily for both of us, I'm moving back to GA in about a week and a half. I'll be living in Athens, probably on Godbey's couch for a few weeks at least. The only wheels I have are my bike, so if you want me to come visit you in Milledgeville, give me like a week's notice so I can take a few days to ride there and back. Otherwise, I don't plan on getting a job for anybody except perhaps friends, so feel free to come visit me any time. Even if I am busy, I can always make time for you, Ms. Warr. See you soon, bud.

Hi Dino,

Portland's here waiting for you all, relaxed and spread out over green hills. Lots of bangles - indie music in nooks of clubs everywhere, zines tossed around small bookstores marketing subversion to the masses. You'll like it.

Self-discipline is usually a hard gray demanding bitch, but oh so worth it. Figure it this way: peoples here in the Left Coast are so laid-back that they often blow-off achieving things that require effort. A bunch of hipsters clogging the drains, sad really.

As for me, I'm using my East Coast Occam's Razor to slice me a piece of that alternative American pie. Yum, I say! This is a good place to live, for now. And Canada's within bailing distance, if this dick'tatership gets too onerous.

Take care & love,
Kevin

You have quite a way with words, sir. I predict an email in the very near future...
