The rest of 17

Oh yeah, Outsidelands was wonderful. Also fell in love with Marin.



But Italy was even better...




I got a job in retail coffee when summer began, so that was fun for a bit.
And then I quit that to take an offer at my dream semiconductor job/company.
Went through the headache of becoming a homeowner (yay?), but feeling blessed nonetheless.
And here we are...

The thrill of knowing how alone we are...

now playing: creature comfort | arcade fire

It has been so long since the last time I wrote on here, so much has changed.
I am learning how to be alone, myself being away from myself.
There is a certain feeling of satisfaction with being alone and dissociating though.
like people watching in a house alone, except there are no people around or outside.
and enjoying a few hours without connection to the virtual world or any other humans.

There are a good number of things to explore and see out here.
a few parks, a number of coffee shops, a stroll downtown, a drive down southwest.
houses to fantasize about. music to discover. even new shows on Netflix to discover.

I love my company but I am unsatisfied with my job...
As usual, unrealistic expectations from the opposite sex trouble me and cross too many boundaries.
I miss my friends, I miss the beach.
Thank god spring has come and waking up means purple peach dawn skies, otherwise I've been waking up, leaving the house, and leaving work in the dark.
