i've had this weird feeling today about going home tomorrow. as i mentioned earlier (i post a lot on vacations..) it's the first time in a while i've actually not wanted to go back just yet. i'm in love with portland, but this time, i feel almost like i felt when i first moved out. like i'm going to a new place where i don't know anyone. i ( Read more... )

i went to this little bbq/get-together with my parents that their friends were throwing. i didn't expect it to be too fun or anything and it wasn't the best party i've been to with my parents. a few funny/entertaining things ( Read more... )

aah the last few days have been great. and i've had loads of interesting/enlightening/weird conversations with many random people from the past. i saw hans's band the other night and another local band called lasalle. they were both quite good and the sound in the place we were was better than many a show i've seen in pdx. h'ville is a small ( Read more... )

i just had one of the most alabama moments ever. i'm sitting in waffle house, at about 1:30 in the morning, after a couple hours at a bar/club seeing a 2 local bands (one of which, i've known the bass player for quite a while) eating grits (best fuckin' grits ever) and what comes on the juke box? sweet home alabama. no fuckin' shit ( Read more... )

i'm at the airport in pdx (i wonder why the portland airport is one of the few with free wifi). with my half hour wait, i figure i'll update. it's been kind of a crazy week in some respects. i hope that this coming week will also be crazy, although hopefully not as emotionally jarring. it's weird how random things from your past come back. if ( Read more... )

yesterday i went to the mall (the one time i go a year) and a woman asked me if i could take a few minutes to watch a movie preview and answer some questions about it. i said sure and you know what movie it was...........SNAKES ON A PLANE. i almost died laughing when i saw that. and then i had to answer serious questions about how i would ( Read more... )

last night i had a terrible dream where my teeth were falling out. and it was a long dream where just one came out at first and i was bleeding everywhere, then all the others started getting loose, and eventually they all were just crumbling and i was crying so hard. i looked up what this means and this is what i've found ( Read more... )
