today i saw what might possibly be one of the most inspiring vistas available to an urban dweller anywhere in the world. i saw the alpenglow on tahoma at sunset this evening as it towered above the rooftops of our small corner of the world. drives home just how small you and i are and how little we truly affect the order and rhythms of...

cyanea:
yeah okay, i sent you a message. i combined the response to the last comment you gave me and the message that you sent. it'll be easier that way! 
you know, i think i may have to be done with tequila for a while.
some folks say that whiskey makes them crazy and i don't feel the effects that way but tequila, oh that is another story all together!
so let me relate what happened to you all. this is a moment of shame for me, but i figure everyone can laugh along as...

oh man do I not miss those days! You are right to bid tequila farewell. Sorry I've been so slack on here, but my overly busy life is calling. I don't think I'll be on much anymore.
I want to see a concert at Red Rocks so badly!
1. The Greek in Los Angeles
2. hmmmmm, I don't think I have a favorite river, not off the top of my head anyway.
3. the lack of heat and smog and the surplus of trees and mountains.
Hope you're doing well!

well, i figure life is about as good as can be expected in this given situation.
i've been really introspective the past few months and have lost touch with the world at large. can't complain, it's been nice to be away between my ears.
maybe i've found a few new thoughts to roll out into the world. they're really recycled from somebody else but that...

back in action here. wrote a fresh blog which is below if you'd like to kick around the thoughts therein.
just got back from the trip that was in planning last time i was on. it was amazing and inspired my thoughts to wander to many a topic on the american life.

i was having problems with sara and now we've broken up so no more problems...or something.
ummm...just picked up new hard bags for my motorcycle as well as logging a few hundred more miles with a numb ass. i need to make my seat far better next time.

Hope things are getting better every day.
That Zuni trip sounds great, where exactly is the Zuni nation?

so, here's the mojo in action.
nothing too damned long or aything like that, just a few pictures and some words to go around.
finally met SurlyMike and HolaGatita last night, which is cool.nullnull.
also finally got my motorcycle out of town. did 150 miles and then went in to work. my butt is sore today. feels less painful than being saddle...

yeah, i guess my post was pretty lengthy, wasn't it? sounds like you're seeing some good stuff - hopefully you crack the windows riddle so you can post some of it...

I hope you get it figured out, I would love to see some photos!!!
Great to meet you the other night!

yeah, just got back to seattle this morning. had a fun time but being that i'm from the arid part of the u.s. i missed the wet a lot. it's easy to forget how nice it is to be hydrated on two quarts a day instead of needing at least three just to sit in the shade. it's easy to forget how hellish the sun...

ack, I'm so sorry! We were going to stop by, but Mike wanted to get our world tour of health food stores out of the way (PCC, Whole Foods & Trader Joes), and stop for a cupcake at Trophy Cupcakes (I guess to counterbalance all that health), and by the time we got done it was pretty late. We should have stopped by beforehand. I blame Mike.
Plus I wasn't sure what time you were working. What time *were* you working? Do you work the same time every day? What time do you get off? Maybe we could meet you for dinner afterwards?
I am no longer spending money on music or dvds, don't tempt me!!
In fact I'm trying to thin out my collection at home.
I loved your answers to my questions. So funny, for "name something you do well" I almost put "I'm good at untieing knots".

are you working tomorrow (Thurs.) night? If so, what time?
know what sucks? riding a motorcycle in 4 inches of slushy, seattle snow sucks. hardcore. i now need a new rear blinker cover. bah!
other than that, it snowed! yay!! i haven't seen this much snow in seattle in ever. really makes me miss home. although not the home that's gotten so much snow this year for no real reason.
i'm glad to see we're...

well you were right about the rain!! But I'm not even minding, cuz I know that spring is right around the corner!
There are cherry blossoms already in bloom downtown!
Did you have fondue at home, or is there some sort of fondue restaurant around town?

Hope that you had a great time down in Palm Springs! As much as I like the rain, I'm eternally envious of all those who get to warm up down in the Coachella Valley at this time of year.
alright, dudes, i'm getting my hendrix fix on. it's been festering for daaaaaayyyyys. it feels like the ultimate release of a godspeed, you black emperor song. pure, fantastic, contented euphoria after a long, dark tension you thought was going to go on forever.

The abundant greenery and water of western Washington & Oregon is enormously appealing. I myself do appreciate the deserts of Nevada (and, even more so, California), but I'm not so certain that I'd want to call them home...

we're talking more about states of mind than song titles there. for the record though, the lyrics i have up are from an old Whiskeytown song.
yeah, i've gotten pretty bummed out when folks have left in the past. but things keep rolling. i did get my Hendrix on that day, actually - listened to both Experienced and Axis.

alright, i feel the need to tell you all about a beer. this beer is an endangered beer, much like the resident orca pods or the spotted owl up here in the pacific northwest. it's only available in oregon and washington with any consistency and sometimes at trader joe's- so maybe california. it's by a brewery called hair of the dog based in portland and...

i was only thinking of Seattle when i posted before - i neglected to notice your hometown. they really haven't been tearing it up like i thought, no - but give those two some time together, and it'll be sick. next season could be wild.
i still haven't gotten to see a Denver game with the two of them in action together...

I love steppenwolf simply for 'the pusher.' holy shit! great cut.
did you guys read the rebutal Jim Webb offered for the state of the union?
let me just say that he's trying to frame this as a fascist v. communist debate even if he doesn't mean to. his words really brought back stalin to me. "not one step backward" is what really drove it...

ps: i've always wondered what exactly is going on in that picture of yours.

got a thought for the past few days. i'm going to just write it out; this is loren eiseley commenting on his thoughts as he thought of the connections of humans to a fish he called the Snout, our very earliest forebearer if you believe in things like macro-evolution. I found it to be one of the most obvious, but unthought of, perspectives out there....

aw, that sucks about the unknown download... someday you'll figure it out.
i really wanted to like the Built To Spill record more than i actually did. in the past, i have been a BTS fiend. but something didn't really click for me with the new one. not sure what it is.
