so i think everything’s settling down here, i’m moved in to my place here in bothell, job is going smoothly, and i have a insured car and everything. days are so short though, they really go so much faster than school. you go to work at 9, get home around 5:30, then do something physical and eat dinner and then before you know it, it’s about 8, and bed time’s just around the corner before you have to get up again. not there’s anything wrong with it at all, i think it’s pretty nice. i don’t have to take anything home, so my night is mine, and yet my free time still seems almost more regimented than my work day. to fit in everything i want to do in a day along with things i have to do, it’s constant motion. keeps me distracted though, i can’t believe i’ve already had this job for almost a month now. heather is finally going to be moving down tonight, so bye bye bellingham, i don’t think i’ll need to go back to that place for a while. the eastside is alittle different when you’re on your own, and there’s still lots to explore for me around here on my bike, as i am finding out, everything around this area is so close to one another, but you don’t really realize it until you start getting out and about be it driving, riding whatever. you go in a direction for a couple of miles, and suddenly you’re in another town that you recognize, but didn’t know you could get there that way.

there’s all these fancy office buildings around where i live as well, apparently bothell is blowing up for rich corporations to move to (my guess is snohomish county is a bit less stringent than king in business requirements) and what’s funny is that most of them are availible. even in a business that is booming like biotech, the huge economic recession has taken its toll. but this area is kind of funny, because it’s like a giant building and landscaping architecture showcase. this plae is built in the middle of a creek/wetland area, and there are a bunch of trails that run around ponds and floodplains, making for this odd urban wetland area. it’s ideal for running though, lots of ways to go, most of them an hour or less.

i’m really enjoying where i live now, especially with my proximity to everything around here, and just working during the day, and doing what i want the rest of my week is very liberating because i can always keep myself busy somnehow.

quick, get the blog down before someone else calls!

whoops, too late, one moment please…

allright back to the blog, i gotta keep this rollin’ while i still have some motive to write, cause i just got a bunch of music from my friend scott, mostly hip hop i needed back on my computer, but i also got hybrid which i haven’t listened to for a couple of years now. music is so amazing, listening to this reminds me of sitting in my house on north garden, studying japanese, or going to see my first moby concert at the paramount with them as the leading act, or driving up to canada before we get pulled over at customs for god knows why, or running my loop around the high street area for the umpteenth time, or dancing alone in my room, for the hell of it. endless memories that are attached to every song i’ve ever listened to. i’ve lost so many of my CDs in my lifetime, but with the internet, they’re all just a click away, and then bam, you’re back in 5th grade, sitting next to your sony boombox, listening to “two princes” while playing video games.

frankly, i don’t know what i’d do without music. so much i have ingested, and yet there are millions of other notes in a million other arrangements to go. so much information, particular arrangements of words or ideas in literature, film, music, media constantly bombarding me, giving me insight into a multitude of things, different viewpoints on anything in this world, where anything can and will happen. not enough time in the day to find new sources of inspiration while still allowing for reflection on what has already been ingrained. not like there’s any hurry though, you have to allow for new things to sink in for awhile, not just listen for a couple of days and on to the next thing, more repetition allows more insight and more appreciation into the work of art it may very well be.

spectacular.
