Heading back home from the Windy City. A lot of the things I liked about Chicago closed down since I was here last. I've never been a city guy, so I always try to find certain things I like ... Disney Quest ... gone ... Eerie World Cafe ... gone ... Buhkara ... gone. Going to the Navy Pier and probably by a museum, then...

at that moment i felt alone. and no, it wasn't so much a bad feeling, just a very powerful one. The song is by Death Cab for Cutie.

I've been looking for those kinda clocks today. I want one! 
I think it would train my logical/mathematical thinking, and that could be needed.

More random pics ... this is an old bike I used to have. I got it from a guy who was getting a bigger one and his wife wouldn't let him have both. It's a custom AMEN Savior frame (made for Harley's) with a Honda motor. Always meant to take the motor off, find a decent Harley one (you either get a good Harley or...

that is the coolest gas tank on your bike! what size engine is it?
remyx:
ah, so you did sell it. so now what are you looking at?
I'd be right beside you in the bike shop if I could squeeze my bank account for more cash. with the crazy gas prices, a motorcycle would make for cheaper commuting. i've putting off getting one for about 5 years, one more year might not kill me...

Hey I thought that was a marmot-just looked smaller in the picture. Seen them a lot. Actually, I have a pair of semi-destroyed hiking boots from one chewing on them.
How long are you going to be in Portland? I have an out of town friend coming in on the 19th. but if your here after he leaves maybe we could grab a coffee or a drink. I've lived in Portland for about 14 years now..maybe i can suggest stuff to do.
The salad looks great. Must have been last year with the blueberries and all.

It's really hard. For me it only gets to some scratching on the surface. I've tried bigger tools than just a knife too, but nothing seems to work...

Ugh! I have the flu. Woke up at 5am on Saturday morning feeling like CRAP!
The fun part is I drove 3 hours to go to my neice's wedding and ended up spending the day on my mom's couch begging death from anyone who got close enough to listen. I truly hope this doesn't last past Monday

Uh. The Flu is nasty. Hope you get better soon.
The backend I use is just Notepad. It's how I started and I don't really bother with editors or anything.

Hey, when you're in Portland you really should check out that contortionist I mentioned in my journal. Her name is Satori and I'm pretty sure she's at Mary's Club every Saturday. Mary's Club is on 129 Broadway. It's fun and....I guess it's just very "Portland." I don't know if you've seen that movie Bongwater, but it takes place at Mary's.
I hope you feel better soon! Tip? Pickled ginger is the best cure for nausea known to science.

Portland OR??? Cool. Maybe we can meet..
AS a response to your comment- I was being a little sarcastic in my journal today - but truthfully if evertyhing is "god's will" why bother to pray at all?
Religon just makes no sense to me.

There's a slight chance I'll be at the Tsunami Bomb concert. If everything turns out right I'll be there. What are you going to be doing in Portland? Vacation, job?

your furry and feathered friends are so cute! i once had a nest of birds in my mailbox that was in the shape of a birdhouse. i had to tape it shut and leave a sign on my door asking the mailman not to put any mail in the mailbox but to leave it in the bag i hung from my doornob. it was very sweet having baby birds in my mailbox

i really like the idea of "home" as being at peace with yourself. that's something i've never thought of...tragically enough. like you, i've felt "home" as a place or a person but perhaps i've been looking too far. i just need to look within myself. thank you for that!
enjoy the hot tub once it's fixed!
glad you like the pic.
