Volunteering
Yesterday evening after work I volunteered at the Oregon Food Bank with a couple coworkers.
There were a lot of people and the stacks on stacks of raw food was mind numbing to me.
The mind blowing part to me though is the amount of people in this state and country that will STILL go without food.
Anyway.. volunteering was a good feel. It's something I've been wanting to do since arriving in Portland but haven't made time and/or got around to doing.
I really want to volunteer with the Arboretum here or anything that puts me around the parks department and great trees of this forest.
Note to self: volunteer more.
As I said before there were a lot of people at the food bank last night. Tis the season though, eh?
But they said they will have just as much food to distribute out in the coming months but only a fraction of the people volunteering so let's do it friends. Let me know if you are interested.
David Lynch
I have officially watched "Fire Walk With Me" and the first two episodes of Twin Peaks. I get it people. To all of you who've been telling me to watch it for years it's begun.
Will Marshall, if you're reading this. I'm damn sorry it took so long. I have to admit the foggy cool air of Portland made it easier to watch though. Wicked stuff man.
Sparklehorse
I've heard the name Sparklehorse more than once over the past year and thanks to Kieran Arnold, I finally sat still long enough to soak in his tunes.
From old to new it's all quite genius.
It's full of feels and intimately dark at times but it's fucking fantastic. I only have the most popular album which he did with Danger Mouse at the moment.
It's good but I recommend looking up the older stuff on Grooveshark. It's so good. Hauntingly good. Listen to the few tracks I've posted below.
They are more poppy than the older stuff but it's all relative. It's the kind of stuff that makes you sit still and sink into your chair a little more.
Well that's all I've got for you guys for now.
Listen to Sparklehorse. Watch David Lynch films. Volunteer to help your community.
