after 2 years...

vancouver - last

you will be missed...

ice-cream vs. guns

you know how the there are signs in the buses in Vancouver (including the skytrain) that have a hot dog or an ice-cream with an X over it? saying, with authority I might add: "no food permitted on this bus". Well its a bit different here - the sign in the bus read "firearms are prohibited on these premises". Same authority, but... well you get the picture.

shaving in the dark

here is what I've learned so far. you cant do nothin without a cell phone. you cant buy stuff without a bank account. oh and you cant live without a SSN. I also learned something about myself last night; I shave much better with a flash light and some candles.

airport

I arrived in Austin TX on Aug. 16th 2007. Walking out of the airplane my first two experiences where 1) heat and humidity 2) a very red, red neck of a man walking in front of me.

luggage

So here I go again. I guess "go" would be the correct word here-but in a way its not. This time is different, its more like "leaving". yeah leaving is better. but its not better is it? it feels like I'm leaving and going into nothingness. a total blank in every way i can think of. you know like those times when you know have to do something but know it'll hurt. take that feeling to the extreme and add a hint of uncertainty to it. that'll give you the weird feeling i have now.
so i packed all my stuff into 2 suitcases. I guess the emotional suitcase was the hardest to close. in fact some of is leaking out. some of stuff in it fell out onto the Vancouver airport luggage conveyor belt. the rest i take with me.... into nothingness.
