Spring Time

When I was growing up, Spring had been my lease favorite season. I can remember my senior year of high school when it rained, every day, all day for 90 days straight. I've had enough of the gray, and I was ready to jet. But today, 5 years later (after returning to the Northwest), I'm learning to appreciate this season a lot more. For one reason, it doesn't rain nearly as much as during the Winter time, and another, things grow! Yep, the trees are no longer naked, and the birds living in them seem to be happier this time of year.

Last night I hosted a little dinner provided to us locally, by our lovely mother Earth. The fish we had eaten came from the Willamette which my father had caught. The lettuce came from our garden, and the beer we drank was brewed down the street. It was nice to catch up with Ben, an old friend from elementary school whom I haven't seen in a while, as well as the other folks who had came over.

All that being said, I'm looking forward to the changing seasons, scenery, new experiences and insights. Hasta lueago, chao.

Light Bulb

Ahaa! I figured it out! After staring at piano keys for the past 3 hours, I'm finally able to stomp in and out of Major, minor, 7th, Maj 7, and m7 chords!!!!!! Oh how I can entertain myself. Try for it yourself, you'll find endless possibilities of musical delight.... Midway through I picked up my guitar and a light bulb flashed over my head, realizing how parallel the instruments are. It's all theory! Weeeeeeee!

...now on to other, more difficult chord structures...

Yah

Alright, so it's been a while since my last blog entry.. The only reason why I'm realllllly writing this tonight, is so my account won't cancel itself aha, and also a new friend of mine mentioned that she has a blog, which in turn inspired me to get back to writing a little bit. To make a long story short, and to summarize the time since I've last written... In a sequence of events, Jerome and I drove up to Oregon Spent the summer in Europe/lost all my money. Met up w/ old friends, had the greatest of time. Came back, lived at home,moved out to 'downtown' Portland, got a job as an Equipment Engineer at a solar company Working my ass off, moved in w/ a friend Now, I'm waiting for summer I don't enjoy working, especially at a super serious position.. it's craziness, but it's an alright experience. It's nice to work for a renewable energy company, but even tho it's for a good cause, it's still a corporation... then again, tis nice to work w/ good people. And it's nice to save up money for future adventures. I have future plans, but don't want to spoil them so I'm not gonna mention any detail :) Overall, i feel working/saving will pay off. Anyways, I'm done writing.. tired. Hopefully my next update w/ be more interesting HA! ciao

To my San Diego Family

This goes out strictly to my San Diego family…

All I can say is that it has been a crazy past 4 years. I’ve experienced the most amazing and genuine experiences during my time here. I will cherish the memories over the years, the ones I can and can’t remember. And you never realize what you had until it’s time to go.. Ain’t it funny?

There have been ups and downs over the years. But the people that I have met and spent time with… the most genuine and down-to-earth people (you know who you are) make living life extraordinary.


I’d like to say thanks to Courtney for being the best neighbor and friend possible; Matt and the rest of the house for creating the most unique/memorable college experience and hosting the most memorable of parties; the foreigners, J’s, state girls, Maher crew, and everybody else that contributed to my fortunate and selfish experience.

I walked Mission beach for the last time tonight (for a while). Though it sucks horribly to say goodbye, I am both excited and curious about the life experiences we will all encounter in the coming time. Stay young. P e a c e
