PUYALLUP FAIR WOODEN ROLLERCOASTER!!!

Teahupoo

so i found out today, tonight, that this month is officially national blogging day?

and a big thank you out there to brooke dejesus for your unifanfarity!

you have been a devoted follower, my one and only blog watcher, whether or not you read what amounts to a post every other week.

i just watched one of the greatest films i have ever seen: Riding Giants.

I've seen parts of it, and seen much of that footage in the past, but never have I been so moved by a film in the way that this one did. I already do a great deal to keep myself very much a part of my life in hawaii, but it is in moments like these that i anticipate love and life and the future of everything that is holding. It's all in the pipeline! :) this year has been a breakthrough year for me. from this time a year ago, i have travelled to six countries, spent a month in hawaii, traversed the continent several times, finished a recording project that i am supremely happy with, discovered my life in a new place of my own to live, just 3 blocks from City Hall, amassed a wealth of outdoor utilities for exploring this regions glorious enclaves, and the list in my mind carries on. 

i am overcome by the complexities behind one's 'community's tidalcharts. we are so meant for each other....continually finding new people along the way that challenge and sharpen us, that make us laugh. thank you seth mcfarlane. you make me laugh so hard when i'm at work. but i don't know him.

i feel terribly literal, like the bro that keeps trying to find the punchline, but he's long gone with stolen baseball cards in his pocket. 

i want to live a long and fullfilling life, spent with my family, and my dear loved ones. i hope one day to raise a family of my own, like so many friends of mine are. i love children, and i love my family and how they have taught me to love. it takes time for someone to duck through sufficient tides to find themselves free to love. we think we're so mature sometimes, and then we grow without really meaning to, albeit wanting to, and turn around to see how the vibrations were so different back then.

i miss my sister, and my brothers, and my mom and dad. and my uncles and my aunts, and my cousins (one of whom is brand new and i haven't seen but in facebook pictures....and he's so adorable, and his middle name is rune, and all i know about that name is that it's what we've always called annie, his mother. *congradulations on your life together, and the beginning of a new family annie.....with my lifelong classmate! ha. wow. i love it. he's my uncle.*

it's late. i don't know where i was going with anything. 

these autumn nights just turned to winter. went back an hour. choosing to love it, because i'm hear, and there's beauty to find everywhere. we gotta find the things that make us happy, and then get EXCITED about them. 

i love you jim, i hope to see you soon. i want to make it out to boston next week. i will do my best. you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. 

jamie, i haven't seen you in many months and have been also in my petitions. 

ryan, we'll sing together for fittsmas carols '08, come over this week. what should we do?

goodnight. and good luck, keith olbermann.
