why on blog? because i want to do need a new ideas. bigger than my head is imagining.  

i enjoy meeting new people and being of service to them.

i would like to continue coffee part time if the vibe is right.   i've put in resumes at some interesting little shops the past few days. 

while working service industry has been / is my most sincere way of diligently sharing that, i am open to greater ways to be of use to my fellow earthlings and planet.

Jobs, Smoggie Catt, X Files

I had another interview this morning. This time at "Fire on the Mountain" on 57th and Fremont. It would be more restaurant like than I am use to, but I'm keeping all options open at this moment.

It was a pleasant little stroll. A lot of residential area. I finally saw where Beaumont district of Portland is, too.

I'm about to continue the Craigslist search for "gigs" and other job happenings.

Yesterday I spent the most of my day with a wise and wild lady named Kyle. It's fun letting your day run away and seeing what kind of magic you will happen upon.

I ate at Canteen off of Starke yesterday. A vegan place with salads to die for. The best tempeh I have had since being here. So savory! So filling! Aaaah!

I've also recently started watching X Files for the first time! It makes so much more sense starting from the beginning. Moulder is really awesome. I like his quirky sense of humor.

Lastly, it makes me so happy to see Smoggie Catt sitting in the window enjoying the rain.

She sat up in the open window watching the rain as long as I can remember last night.

Then she would stroll about the roof and come in with dampened fur and cuddle for a moment, repeat.

I can tell she is genuinely happy to live in Oregon and that bring my heart much happiness. I knew she would love it here.

Well time to get back to job looking. Bye Bye interwebbers.

Grey and Rainy

It's all misty and grey! My favorite weather ever! Yay for soggy shoe season!

I just applied to a coffee shop on the corner of N Greeley and Killingsworth called Blend Coffee. The owner Matt seemed like a pretty chill dude. Mostly it was nice to give a resume in person rather than just send an email. I like the awkward first meetings.

The walls were grey and wood. Really cool ambience and only a few blocks from the Killingsworth Bluffs! One of my favorite sunset spots. Though my roof is still better, but imagine closing up shop and biking a few blocks to watch the sun set.

Well I don't want to get too a head of myself but here's to hoping that works out.

My dad bought me a copy of "Hop on Pop". Other than "There's A Wocket In My Pocket" that's my favorite Dr Seuss book. His drawings are so fun and he was able to just make up gibberish and sell it too! What a rad dude!

Well interwebs I'd love to stay and ramble but I have to scope out more jobs on Craigslist!

I'm also willing to draw for cash if it comes to that.

Be free fellow Earthlings! Be Free!

Today

Printing resumes and cover letters, cashing the final Starbucks check, and searching the interweb and street for potential job happenings.

The job market has changed a lot since I last had to have a job. It's fascinating how dependent on the internet the search has become.

I like being able to connect face to face.

There are still some job places that offer that possibility don't get me wrong.

The music at Tiny's is spot on Grizzley Bear and Tame Impala. The sky has turned to a solid cloud. Overcast but bright. I could sit here forever but there is work to do.

Goodbye for now interweb.
