Without Geography…We’re Nowhere!

i forgot my phone at home today!

sweet, sweet, freedom!

got busy again, guess that’s why i haven’t been here in awhile, or the fact that i don’t really have a whole lot to say. i guess my omebrewing has been coming along better these days, but that’s about the only thing i have been putting effort into lately. i’ll probably try out an IPA i made with some help tonight, see how it goes, i think this one will be a good brew as well.

it has been rainy, like almost every other day, which is nice, but keeps me from really doing any activity but running. biking in the rain is fine, but only for like 10 miles, then it gets harrowing. climbing in the rain can’t be done without risk of sever injury. so last week i went to a climbing gym with my buddy. we made the mistake of going at night on a weekday, so it was hella crowded and the granfalloon was so tight knit that i got more than my share of dirty stares, but there were some nice people there as well. i think gym climbing could be fun, just without all the elitism. i think that can be said for alot of things though.

i went and saw the monty python musical a couple of days ago, and was more than plesantly surprised. it had the humor of monty python, along with just other jibes at the broadway musical in general. a song about broadway songs is funny, but kind of expected in a satire. a song about needing a jew to have a successful musical was not, complete with huge flashing star of david. it was a fun show, and the crowd definitely consisted of more monty python fans than musical fans. everyone knew the words to “always look on the bright side of life”.

work!

man, it is beautiful outside, truly the best time of year in the northwest.brilliant shades of orange, yellow and red layered against light blue skies. temperatures that are very comfortable with pants and a light jacket, and the modest warmth of the sun sharply contrasted by the chilliness of the shade. when it’s not wet out, this is absolutely ideal riding weather. and winter brews are finally hitting stores! i love this time of year.

i can taste the jolly roger…

free my mind!

i guess it wants to be, but it hardly ever knows what is best for it. i need something smooth to wash over me, to let it slide over, fill in the cracks, flush out the crap. too much anger, an i never know what to do with it. irrational anger that would seemingly have no possible outlet, there has to be some reason for it. it makes me want to disappear, and stew in it for a bit. actually, i’d spend it with my dog because she is outside of this system.

i think that is why pets are so beloved, the lack of judgement. the only basis they use to judge you is so simple. if you treat them nicely play with them and feed them then they will judge you as a good person. if you neglect them and mistreat them, then they will judge you as a bad person. it’s just simpler. i like that simplicity. there’s too much complexity in my world.

wtih that complexity comes more complex forms of happiness, but also more complex forms of everything else. i’m already mired in complexity, with no way out, but to maybe drop a few things along my journey. of course when something is offloaded, it leaves more room to pick up some more stuff.

and i just can’t help picking up more shiny objects.

let’s just see what i can bang out in the next couple of minutes, because i can only passively read the internet for so long before my brain starts feeling fuzzy.

timing. man, i could have been so mind-boggling efficient today, but the timing was off. it happens, and it is out of my control. but it really shouldn’t matter, either way, it’s gonna get done. the timely fashion is just a bonus.

anxiety. it comes out of nowhere for no reason lately, and i want to try and control something that i don’t want to work hard enough to really take care of. at least i started running again, which really helps keep my stupid brain under control. left to its own devices, it is a dangerous beast.

continuity. one thought streaming to the next for seemingly no reason at all, for reasons that i dictate and are unaware of at the same time. i ams who i ams, and that’s all i can be.

height. make it tall, strive for the most sunlight, the best position, the best view. be that tallness that gives you unlimited sight and a sense of lofty creativity. reaching for heights previously imagined, but never realized.

sonic. the noise to make things heard, but not necessarily clear. bring out the sonic boom!

purpose. a purpose driven life to be sure, because without purpose, what is life? i feel like i should say without life, what is purpose? mostly because they are the same ridiculous question teeming with incredulous ideas. they are what they are.

discovery. find something, name it, tag it and bag it. classify everything, because it needs it, craves it, desires it above all else. to be called by its true name, the one that everyone inherently knows.

inane. this, and pretty much everything else you can think of.
