The Choices We Make / Last Night

I know it's true; If I could just quit observing and act on my yearnings then I could be easily satisfied but it's all to fascinating to my mind.

Watching humanoids on a dance floor mimic is as primal as watching gather around a waterhole.  There are predators and prey. Lions, spiders, and birds of prey. I watched a girl move like nothing I'd ever seen; hypnotizing man after man then leaving them longing for more. I think she's a black widow. 

I watched sleazy guys pick up sleazy gals.

I watched lovers awkwardly make out in the back booths unaware of any bystanders. 

I was suppose to wake and go to Seattle, but when I woke up I couldn't move. 

I woke up to a kitchen and bathroom light still on and back door open.  

There was a beautiful cool breeze and Smoggie Catt had found her way in. 

I was lying sideways in the bed; belt unbuckled and pants unzipped.  

I probably planned to take those off. You sleep better without jeans; that's a fact. 

Unless you're out in the cold of course. But I made it home. 

Not before leaving the club... more like basement at 2:30 and running into Voodoo Doughnuts. Somehow after all that beer and whiskey I ate not one, but 2 Voodoos. 

But I don't remember laying down.  

I met some wonderful folk last night, but the observations were even better. 

I don't know where I'm going with this but I think I'm waking up really early to go to Mt. Hood tomorrow. Actually I'm really sure. This has to happen because I missed Seattle today. I need to go away for a little while.

I have a lot of head thoughts, and trying to write them all out. 

Mostly I just blog a lot, but the grey is returning and all these head thoughts are going into an even greater book. 

I can feel it, but right now these feelings just gotta simmer a little more.

More than anything I'm ready to play some rock n' roll; that's the only reason I left the forest anyhow. 

This sums up last night. It felt so good. It felt so right. Thanks for the invite Jackie. 

Excursion

We went in search of somewhere. We found somewhere else. We wandered into Smallville USA in Southern Washington. I don't recall the name of the town. The water was colder than I expected; but after a waddling around it felt decent.

The rocks were slippery and slimy, the little fish and tadpoles didn't fear a thing, and the kids were "hunting" out crawfish. There was the most gorgeous view of Mt Hood; but all I could muster was this mediocre photograph. 

All just a blink from Portland on this sunny, summer day.  

August Goals

1. Hike to the to top of Mt. Hood
2. Camp 2 nights and explore Crater Lake (Wizard Island) 

Mt Tabor Adventuring

I walked around Mt Tabor today. I sat and did some writing, too. The sky was a perfect blue and I was able to see Mt Rainier and Mt Hood standing majestically in the distance.

​I thought I saw a fairy running through the grass, but it was only a bird carrying away a worm. I should have known better; fairies only make themselves known at night. They are much harder to spot in the daylight. ​

Shot another Episode of A.B. TV...

It was a bit of a challenge, but I think with the end result will be satisfactory.

The Adam, Cody, and I went up to Rocky Butte; which is actually an extinct volcano. The skies were clear blue and Mt. St Helens and Mt. Hood were majestically towering in the distance. I would have taken pictures but, Iphone 4 wouldn't do it justice. 

​Either way the view was totally worth it all. Ooh and met a rad dude named Gino. He knew a lot of cool stuff and hope to get to know him better in the future.
