Summer

Summer is almost here. Tomorrow is supposed to be 85!
as always things are looking great for this summer.
There will be biking and kayaking!
camping and hiking.
and Gardening! i have my first gardening plot

I think i need to move away from MPLS. I cant do another winter here
There are just too many other places that are far more amazing than MPLS in the winter.
fuck that noise

Puerto Rico is an interesting little place.
The weather is perfect. Tropical with an abundance of fruit.
We picked mangos, almonds, and coconuts.
I met some really great people in such a short amount of time.
Nick and Claire's families were so wonderful. So generous and kind.
It was wonderful to meet them.
I had some really great unexpected experiences.
The beaches are gorgeous
I need to remember the emotions i was experiencing when i was out there.
There is alot to learn from this one
plenty. just dont forget it.

But i'm home now
let it all blend

Rincon

Rincon is beautiful.
I met up with nick and claire today...so wonderful to see them...
We are in rincon at claire's grama's house...on the beach....with such a positive energy here...I am very happy to be here spending here with them.

Meeting up with them was kinda funny
i left old san juan today in a caro publico
and found an old Hamm's beer hat in the back...(which is something i've been looking for. its a really great hat)

Old San Juan was nice...wouldnt spend more than 2 days there...Met some other travelers and hung out for a bit...THey were really cool. Made some really great connections. One guy in particular was great...we had such great time talking and see the world in a very similar light.
Truely unique experience should be valued more.
we had some of that for sure.

I'm confident we will meet again...or maybe we already have.

cant wait for surfing...tomorrow 7 am. nick is taking me out...he's basically pro.
really he amazing...

life is good...my head is satisfied with the wonderful environment i am luckily in.
for the moment
thank you

Puerto Rico

Well...i'm in Puerto Rico right now...
Old San Juan...staying in a really old building. for $16 per night...its perfect...kind of reminds me of the hostel the guy stayed in in the book The Beach.
This is the oldest city in the United States. I really like it for what it is...kind of toursity.. but over all really unique...There are walls here from the 1600's still up. Lots of pastel bright colors... The first few days have been really interesting... so far some unexpected stuff...but it feels good to be in a new city...that i have never experienced...meeting new people and enjoying the hot sun and beautiful ocean...
I made it to Vieques the first day...which i was a bit surprised...set up camp on the beach...and work up to such a beautiful scene. The second night it rained a bit but i stayed dry...The waves were loud though...cant complain about that though..
Went to the Bioluminescent bay...which was really something to see in your lifetime...i cant really explain in over the comp...i'll explain it when we are face to face...
just picture sparks underwater all over you...in the ocean at night. only when you move though.

amazing...

I'm going to Rincon in a few days for more beach camping and surf. And to help my wonderful friends with thier wedding...
I think i am baking vegan cupcakes as their dessert...this will be the second wedding i have baked the ceremonial dessert for!...let me know if you want to book me for your wedding! may need to contact me a few months in advance...
and i charge big time!

ok internet is expensive here..gotta run...
be well.

Tomorrow

AIG

You greedy assholes.
I could fucking strangle these money hungry wolves
about 70% of of the employees that received bonuses received more than $100,000.
The highest bonus being 6.4 million
and 15 people receiving more than 2 million.
And now their chief executive is asking them to give half back?
How about you give it all back and pay a fine.
they need to get wacked between the eyes.
go team america!

Well after this blog being down for a bit...its back up!
sorry to anyone who thought i was blocking them...the blog was closed to everyone.

I was hibernating a little bit this winter.
atleast from writing.

anyways...news is i bought a ticket for Puerto Rico...i leave in 13 days...kinda put that one off a bit.
hehe
I have some friends getting married down there and another friend that will be traveling in Puerto Rico as well.
The goals include:
practicing spanish
surfing
camping as much as possible
kayaking and swimming with bioluminescent plankton (at night of course)
Spending time with wonderful people.
hike some puerto rican mountains

Someday i will run through the fields
with nothing holding me back.
not even modern clothing
you will dance and run with me
the flowers will sing
the pollen will fly
we will smile and laugh
until we fall down
at that point life will be great
but it may not last long.
unless we stay together
and run forever

the stale cold will be gone
and we will not notice it
we wont remember how bad it gets
because we have green.
and the empty gray is gone

live in it
life

run.

went for a run today...which usually i hate doing...

decided i was going to run a mile.... then decided i was going to run another.
First one 7 min flat
Second in 6:40!!!

I dont think that i have ran a mile since high school. and even then i dont think i ran it in 7 min.

it felt really good. i think i like running now.
i think i'm gonna run everywhere!
hehe just kidding, that was a movie.
