So here is the deal. I am pretty excited to move on in my travels. With the contracting gig, I have a perfect opportunity to travel and learn the farming business, as i can still generate income while exploring and pursing my passions. If I leave at the end of August, I can move my stuff back home in September and do three tnas. Then I would head down south, where the weather done suits my clothes.

It is May 4, 2007 and it is even closer to the times that will change my life forever. First, a quick recap of yesterday:

I woke up and did my routine. Then I put some soil in a pot and walked over to work. First thing I did was repot the banana tree, which quickly outgrew its initial home. The banana tree now looks amazing and I have great expectations for him over the summer. Work was very enjoyable as I continuously entertained the thought of moving on from this place and into the great unknown. Using the contractor status, I am very excited to travel and also to embark on an apprenticeship on a biodynamic farm. Organized my desk and completed a report, feeling good. Then I left work and walked over to the fort and relaxed for a bit. Left there and wandered over to my friend’s house. As I knocked, she entered through the door below. We grabbed some nudge and then made our way back over to the fort and then onto the bridge. We twisted a harry and then began to enjoy him. Soon enough, we saw a person atop the bridge and yelled up to him. He wandered down and we all conversed for a bit.

When I meet new people, I like them to talk to more than me. The more they talk, the more I learn about them and the better prepared I am to deal with them later. I think that dude stole her cabinet from the fort. But that’s aside the point and I didn’t even bring it up. Why would I? Either way, it was quite nice to see some folk on the bridge. We hit up the fort and then went our separate ways. I was on the phone with Verizon for hours and finally resolved that issue. Then I went over to my other friend and saw my first friend, I knew she was there too. Either way, the three of us headed over to her house to watch king kong. On the way, my other friend fed me some toast with humus and greens, which was amazing.

We watched king kong and had a harry to boot. Then I was sleeping so I bounced and passed out. Woke up to a whistling embarrassment. Man. Now it is May 4.

On May 3, 2007, it is 29 days away from a significant change. There is really no reasons to perform this countdown as it is not exact, but nonetheless, there is still a significant change in my life approaching fast.

On May 2, 2007, I woke up and did my routine, which involves showering, bandaging my injuries, water my plants, and leaving for work. On the way, I stopped at my friend's house for several reasons. 1) I wanted to grab some more of that cornbread that we made two nights ago. 2) I wanted to give her a trinket that I found so that she might use it in her art project that she had to present that day. 3) I missed her as I did not see her for long the night before, and I wanted to start my day out in a nice way.

When I got in, she was on big red, asleep. I woke her up and gave her the trinket, which was a rubber stopper of some sort with a spiral piece of metal attached to one side by a nail, whose point stuck out the other end. It was quite rusty and it had the resemblance of a snail, which made it a perfect find for my friend. She liked it a lot and then set it down on the window sill. I laid with her for a bit and we kissed and what not. Then I said something that at the time seemed ok, but i shouldn't have said it. I said that 'it isn't always dissatisfying...' I should have kept my mouth shut about that and just showed her through my actions.

Thinking about this situation, this was four days in a row that I stopped there in the morning. Sunday morning i went over and we had a lovely time, but then Monday morning i stopped there to get my hat. Tuesday morning i stopped to get bean and beet salad. Wednesday morning I just described above. (maybe not Monday morning, cannot recall) This made me think that it is too much. while it is nice to go sometimes, i dint want to make a habit of it. So i decided not to do it this morning (Thursday).

Thinking about how I may be coming on too strong, I decided to leave work and go right home. I sowed four types of marrow seed to determine which plant looks like what, as i lost my map of which seeds were which from the first planting. I watered everything and then strolled over to my friends at around 7ish. No one was there and so i went to the boozer and grabber a 30 rack. called up my friend joe d and also yelled to my neighbor zach, but got jordan instead.

We chilled in the garden and drank a few brews and bullshitted. Both of those guys are gonna be around this summer, which makes me think it wont be as bad as i was expecting. I rolled a harry and them me a joe walked back to my friends around 9 and still no one was home. we had a harry on the stoop and then joe treated me to the campus food store for a meal. chilled with joe and then went back home without stopping at my friends.

At home, has some soup and then planned the garden out a bit and read some of For Whom the Bell Tolls. While reading my friend called and asked me for a big jar. She came over and then we went to her place. Had a harry and did some talking about nothing. She ended up using the trinket in her art piece and she was very happy that i gave it to her. She was making a package to send her bro so I decided to leave. On my way out it was awkward at first, but then she came and hugged me. we kissed a bit and then kept kissing. then on the last kiss her roommate came home and i walked out.

Thinking about this, we are kissing in the kitchen and it is me who says ok i go, and then stalls. i need to fucking decide. either i stay and we fuck or i leave. i don't wishy washy, its foolish and unattractive. Its a good thing we didn't cause her roommate came in, but i was thinking this is a trend. we need to chill as friends and when we are feeling it do it up right, not starting and stopping and laughing and resisting. its stupid and it hinders the good sex that could occur.

Went home and passed right out, after taking some begonia cuttings. Now it is may 3.

I last posted on this blog in August 2006. Since then my interests have changed quite a bit and certain things fell into perspective. It is now May 2, 2007 and I am revisitng this blog. I think the irony of it all is that while this blog began as a homage to the information and knowledge I am gathering at my current job, this revisitation is now meant to catalog my taste for new endeavours and more creative activities.

On May 1, 2007, it is 30 days away from a significant time of change. I woke up kind of tired and bit hung over. We had a good old time the night before. Made Bean and Beet salad, ruined BBQ sauce, danced a ton, and had a harry that led my friend to the spins. On May 1, I went out to breakfast with my boss and then had a long conference call regarding a project that I hgave been working on forever. Want it to be done.

When i finished work, I went home and tended to my plants. My garden needs a watering source and I need to devote attention to solve this issue. Then I went to home depot to get some supplies and to the mall to try and replace my phone.

As a side note, my disliking for the mall and other commercial establishments has grown significantly over the past several months. Walking into the mall, there were signs hung that read "DEFINE YOURSELF:..." and then had a list of the more trendy stores the mall had to offer. I am very opposed to these types of establishments and believe that they assist in making people feel that if it is not bought or purchased then it is not good. If something is found, made, or reused, it seems to be of less value than something that was made by a company and marketed in a traditional manner. This is a problem, but something that I will not get into here.

Then I made some asparragus and heated up some soup that I made. I have not been eating out at all recently, giuven my new love for cooking and food preparation. Then I helped my friend write his cover letter. I had a Harry on the stoop with my good friend and then she had to work so I took my leave, so as not to sit and be bored.

Went home and planned out the garden, looking forward to getting everything in order. it is already coming along nicely.

Went to bed. Now it is may 2.
