I woke up this morning with a fever and a childish wish for snow.
I love:
Riding my sweet ass bike!
Playing Bass in a doom metal band
drawing with my brush and ink
lifting heavy things
making awesome breakfasts
loving people

2010/01/30 13:14 Back in Maine. Back in Lewiston. Was greeted by some wonderful friends(whilst in Portland) with greasy fries and milk shakes in hand. Now I'm left sitting alone in Lewiston bloated and groggy. Thanks friends. You're the best.
Next move, looking for a way to get to Vegas, then onto bike tour. Who can I sell my soul to so I can afford both of these??
2010/01/21 17:17 In Asheville hanging out with my buddy Tom for the first time in way too long. Been a great couple days spent with him and Jenny up until this morning. She booked it for Pittsburgh this afternoon. I'll miss traveling with her but am excited about my next stop and current homestead. Had an awesome dinner and stay at the Buccanan house last night. Tom's friends, Eric and Jen made some awesome vegan tacos with homemade salsa and soft corn tortilla! Best thing ever. I gorged myself on tacos and promptly passed out at around 9:45 or so haha.
Looking for something to do in town for the next couple days is a bit of a pain seeing as it's raining today and I have only my feet to transport me from the edge of town into any semblance of a downtown, which is a very unlikely endeavor to find my feet and self agreeing to embark on.
If anyone out there in Asheville land would like to come nab me from my friend's shop over on London Rd feel free. I enjoy free stuff and warm places. If you know of either I swear I will be good company to take along on your ventures!
2010/01/14 14:52 On my way to Asheville from New Orleans today. I never thought I'd stay here as long as we have. Started out as only a few day visit and has turned into a 3 week stay. I've had the most intense time here I think I could have managed. I met some wonderful folks that took me into their home, had an intensely emotional week or so with Jenny trying to figure out a new dynamic or how to cope with the current one. Most mornings spent crying and yelling and then afternoons of hugging and apologizing for everything. With all that going on I was having a hard time keeping my emotions in check around our hosts and made the visit a little tense which led to one horrifyingly embarrassing night. I lost it and ended up blacked out being extremely disrespectful to the house hold and got myself kicked out. That was one of the most humbling nights of my adult life thus far.
I wouldn't trade it for anything right now though. It made me realize how out of line I've been and how my interactions with friends and strangers has been distant and judgmental for way too long. I feel like someone turned on the light after walking into walls for the passed couple years. I am motivated, excited and focused more so than I have been in too long.
Tom has decided he's making Asheville my new home before I've even stepped foot over the town line. He's set up a loft space for me at his friend's house, talking to people about getting me work annnnnd his friend who I am staying with is going to start teaching me to tattoo if I so choose. I have to say, things have turned around for the better since that horrible night. I'm sad to see New Orleans go but am so glad I am moving onto a new chapter.
2009/12/16 13:37 PGH is cold. Too fucking cold. Leaving tomorrow or Friday for Asheville. Asheville will be cold too...why can't I just be in Austin already?
Also, for some reason my knuckle tattoos totally fell out. Dunno what happened but I need to get them totally reworked now. Guh. SOOO bummed.
2009/12/11 15:15 I've made it to Pittsburgh in one piece. I can't say the same for our van though. The belts were shot I guess and had to be replaced. We found this out about 2 hours outside of Pittsburgh when the headlights went out...our alternator belt had snapped and the battery was deaaaad. Luckily the first parking lot to pull into was a small bar in the middle of NOwhere. We called AAA and got a drink. We had a designated driver now so why not! We had them tow us the 2 hours to Pittsburgh by the time we arrived it was 2:30 and we were dead tired. The van just got done at the shop and we are mostly recuperated now. Think I may be coming down with a cold and the weather here is NOT helping. It's FREEZING!!!! I left maine to only get colder? I think not! Good thing we're headed to NC soon!
2009/11/25 19:50 Leaving Dec. 3rd to start making my way south if all goes according to plan! Jenny and I are working on the van getting the interior finished up. We just finished insulating it resealing the driver's side window and putting up the walls. Next is the passenger side. This is taking us a LOT long than originally expected but we're making progress everyday! I thought quitting my job meant less work but since my last day at my real job I have been putting in 12 hour days at the garage working on the van. I have to say, I don't feel bad for sitting on my ass all evening and tomorrow!! Or while I'm getting tattooed Friday! Can't wait for that!! Getting VI VI VI across my left hand's second knuckles. WEE!! Decided to embrace the evil side of being left handed finally.
2009/10/27 18:39 Soooo, looks like I'm finally getting off my ass to go do something with myself...I'm moving to Asheville in December, staying till new years or right before, then heading to Arizona, then up the west coast or into Mexico. After that it get's a little blurry but come February I will be trying to get to Barcelona for a month or so...I have my work cut out for me!! SOOO tired of not doing anything and just working. The idea of spending so much of my time doing something for someone else is driving me crazy!! Each day I go to work for the last month I just want to run out or tear my hair out. I can't do it anymore. I need a break.
Looks like I'm spending tonight in Boston and the weekend in Ellsworth too. Yay! Nice to be doing the things I want with myself for once...it's been a while. Soooo, anyone I told I'd be making my way south, look out! It's finally coming together! :)
2009/10/07 22:40 Just got back from a trip to NH to hang out with my lovely friend Deanna. Spent the last day and a half at her school, cooking, having tickling fights and watching the food network. Weren't able to do much more than that to pass the time but that was plenty. She's one of the first people I can have a comfortable silence with since my friend Vik...or more so the first that it has been comfortable so quickly. We've only hung out maybe 5 times and can take naps and just "be". Nice cozy snuggle buddy, just what I need for the beginning of fall! :)
I also am now almost completely moved out of Alex's apartment. I found a room with one of my oldest and best friends, Stan. I've known the kid since I was about 12 and he happened to live right down the road. It's been a fairly painless move besides the lack of transportation being readily available. Besides scheduling help to move though, it's been a breeze! Been having a blast with him and my other roomy, Zach, already. Had a food/Tupperware fight the other morning while trying to do dishes and cook simultaneously and then ended the epic mushroom vs. glade container match with a Simpsons marathon. Pretty good start if you ask me. All I have left to do before my move is final and I am all settled is, build a loft! My room is SOOOOOO tiny!!
