something I needed to read today.

I can’t get enough of this album lately.
I’m going to South Africa on Saturday!!!!!
I’m feeling alot better about things these days. Other than being absolutely bored at my job these days, I can now see an end in sight and its glorious. I have 2 weeks of work and an amazing 2 week trip to South Africa coming up next Sat. One thing that I need to work on is my waist line. Stress definitely effects me in the fact all i want to eat is ice cream and mini eggs. I haven’t gotten this far to surrender my healthy ways to some Easter candy. Oh mini eggs how you tempt me so. Taking each day at time seems to be the way to go. And almost never skipping workouts.
I know that things can only get better from here.
This evening, I wanted to try something a little bit different with my workout. Instead of the usual cardio video, I used my friend’s treadmill. Granted I think I got an effective workout, the whole time I was on it, I felt like if you are going to walk/run on a treadmill it certainly needs to be a more interactive experience.
I needed there to be some sort of virtual reality goggles attached to said treadmill, to simulate me running in various terrains. Maybe on day, I’m running through Central Park, or on the beach. I see a patent pending….
It seems whatever you end up posting on the internet has the potential to be seen by anyone really. I want to use this account to start writing again. Not just about things I like, (music etc). but as an outlet to express my feelings about life.
Anything deeply personal will obviously not be posted here, but right now I seem to be too inside my head to not write.
My time in SF is (thank god) finally coming to a close. I don’t want to sound negative, but this move should have been accomplished months ago. I have had doubts that SF was indeed going to be my long term home for over a year. Many factors kept me here for longer than I needed to be. An incredible relationship, and my fear of me wanting to move would end it. Which is ironic because it more or less ended because of me wanting to be elsewhere and my fear to bring someone into a life they may not want. I know in the end the decision was for the best in the long term. I myself have not moved on yet, which makes it extremely painful that he has already when it hasn’t been that long. I am clearly not going to emotionally available for awhile, and I am fine with being alone.
As a loyal employee, I agreed to stay at my job after giving some 5 months notice. Training my replacement didn’t take 5 months, duh. So now that I don’t feel bad about leaving early, I’m headed out May 14. Seattle you are calling my name loud and clear. I will miss you friends, and Golden Gate Park.
Here is to new beginnings.
The National- Slow Show
Music to suit my mood.
San Francisco Architecture and Page St.
It is now into the new year, and only 5 months til I leave SF. I wanted to do a series of posts on what I love and will miss most about San Francisco.
The first flat I moved into in the city was in the seaty and touristy Upper Haight. It seemed like the perfect place to move to first. Everything you would ever need was around the corner, and many people watching opportunities. What I love most is the distinct architecture especially in this neighborhood. No other city in the US has this many Victorian buildings all neighboring each other. When the novelty of Haight street wore off, I chose to walk on Page street, which is a block parallel to Haight. It is quiet and the houses are beautiful. I’ll miss my detours on this street and all of SF for that matter.
Oh Seattle. Man, it has been a long couple of months. My impending move is fresh in my mind every single day it seems. I look forward to reconnecting with my friends, being able to see my family often, and deciding what I want to do with my life. I wouldn’t take back moving to San Francisco. I have grown up so much these last 4 years. But once you are done, you are DONE. I’ve also pushed the move to June 11. See y’all in a couple weeks in Seattle. I honestly cannot wait.
