PAC nw

I'm totally on a flight to Seattle right now.  I'm trying to type something on my iPod that is longer than a few paragraphs long. This is actually easier than I thought! The nice thing is that the typing software corrects all of my mistakes.  It's guessing my misstakes, but it does a good job guessing. Now, I can type my thoughts on my iPod and copy and paste them to my computer and do eith them there whatever I like. Yes! I can copy and paste! I finally downloaded the iPod update! I think it's worth the $5. I thought I would never say that, but it is. I'm just upset because this little device has so much potential and it's limited. I knew it was Bluetooth capable... Whatev. 

Technology aside, I'm really excited to be flying over Washington , or "Warshington" as I say to Lindsey. She hates it, lol. I can't wait to check this area out! Right now I want some food. I haven't eaten today and it's 1pm cst. We had such a stressful morning too. We were running a little late, then we ran into traffic about 15 miles from our exit. It was a stand-still and I became nervous. Oh man, I thought we were going to miss our flight for sure! We only had 45 minutes and we still had to find the parking place and go through security at the airport. THEN I misses the turn for the parking place and I couldn't find my way back. Good news is we made it. Security was fast. And our plane boarded fast and we took off shortly after we boarded. I was surprises how easy it was! But now we're getting close and I want to take pictures. 

Bye for now!

Lindsy is so awesome

Santigold/Portland

I'm on The Santa Fe New Mexican web site looking at the "400 Facts On Santa Fe" in honor of 400 years of the magnificent city. It's really fascinating. I know almost nothing about this city. There is so much history.

I've been looking at a lot of New Mexico news lately. I like KOB.com, the NBC affiliate in Albuquerque. It's more fun to know about what's going on at home when I'm not there. Why would I need to know what's going on in Albuquerque when I was there? I was there. So I don't need to know...cause I already knew. Because I was there. In Albuquerque. But Albuquerque isn't important right now.

What's important is Santigold. She's important. And Portland, OR. That's were I'm going to live for the next seven days. Maybe I'll see Santigold in Portland, probably not. But I'm headed anyway, Santigold or not. So I'm done for now. Peacing out!!

lameness

McDonald's is my new Flying Star. It's the same internet, the same molecule formation of two hydrogens and an oxygen that makes up my water, it's the same tunes coming out of my headphones and the salad is only $1. Yeah, and it's the only place in Moberly that is open late with a free wi-fi connection.

OH wow, McDonald's. I should be at home surfing channels. This place is horrible. I'm getting tired too. My cammomile tea is making me sleepy. Postal Service isn't helping either. I need to get home.

I feel like there's so much on my mind, but I can't find a way to transport it through my arms to my fingers and into this computer. I need an outlet. I feel trapped by myself. Life is so weird! What is going on? I'm in Missouri. I'm married. I work at Starbucks. I have a college degree that I don't think I deserve. Can I just find happiness? I know happiness is in love. Love is our goal as humans, and if it's not then we are living a very unfulfilled life. So happiness is God. Happiness is my wife. Happiness is the people who care about me. They bring love. It's so hard to just collect myself and settle down. There are so many distractions. Disturbing things are going on all of the time. Death is scary. I was watching the Olympic games and they showed the video of that luger who died in the crash. He died, and I watched it. That's scary. We all cease to exist. We all know that. And it's a race to find out some meaning before we cross that finish line that is death. I don't like thinking about dying.

I think I'm going to go home now. McDonald's food is nasty.

McDouble

I don't have the internet at home so I'm at the only place in Moberly, MO that has interntet available on a Sunday--McDonald's. So I'm enjoying my internet with, not a cup of joe, but a McDouble and a Dr Pepper. Yum. Soon I'll be in Portland! I'm excited!

I'm Tired But I'm Going To Portland

Sleepy. I'm so sleepy. These early days are taking their toll on me. It's really nice if I can get to bed early. That's the problem though. It's really hard for me to get to bed. I'll lay in bed and roll around for a few hours. Then at around 10 or 11, sometimes 12 I'll finally doze off. Then I'll wake up at 4am and make some coffee and get to work. Today I was so tired I turned off my alarm and went back to sleep. Luckily I had a back up alarm that went off at 4:20am. Ugh... Then I get home and take a nap, then I wake up and I'm groggy. Then the cycle starts over. I'm really trying. I just hope I can either get a new schedule at work or get used to this waking up early business. Or, better yet, maybe I can actually find a job where I can use my degree. That would be fantastic! I have tomorrow and Sunday to sleep in then Monday, and Tuesday I work early again. Then Wednesday marks the first day of a much needed time off of work.

I'm so excited to finally meet most of Lindsey's family--her grandfather (who is the main purpose of our visit), her uncles, aunts, cousins, high-school friends, I'm excited to meet all of them. I'm also excited to see this land that Lindsey came from. I hope we have a safe and smooth trip. I'm pretty sure this is the longest flight I've ever been on. I've flown from Albuquerque to Atlanta in transfer to New York City, and I've also flown from Albuquerque to Houston in transfer to Washington D.C., but I think those flights were shorter than this flight. We'll be in the air for a little longer than 4 hrs and traveling a distance of around 1700 miles. We flying to Seattle and changing planes there. Portland's going to be great I know. Oh my mind hurts and it needs rest. I can't wait to just catch up on some sleep. I can't wait to actually spend some time with Lindsey. I feel like I'm in some altered state all of the time. It's going to be refreshing.

Apple=Sin

First of all can I just say how much I love Google. Not only is the search engine epic but they have amazing maps, Google Earth, picasa, Blogger, Gmail, You Tube, and they can all be synced to cooperate together. I love it. If only Apple could be more user friendly like Google. Sorry, I'm just having a hate on Apple day today. I don't even like the fruit apple that much. The skin gets stuck in your teeth. Apple juice is great, but the fruit by itself isn't that great. I mean I'll eat them...but I digress. Oh yeah and it's the fruit Eve forced upon Adam to cause the fall of the human race. The first sin. Well, I don't think the story went like that at all. I know a lot of artists depict the fruit as an apple, but there is no specification. And before people shout at me, I know Eve didn't "force" Adam to sin. But Apple Inc. is a sin. I'm so sick of this stupid download they're trying to make me purchase for my iPod. I'm regretting my iPod purchase for sure. I should have bought a Sony mp3 player. Neigh! A PSP. How could I have been so foolish. PSP's are so sweet! Oh well.

Here's a video of our house, my main purpose of blogging tonight. Please excuse my horrible camera work. My neighbor was outside smoking a cigarette when I went outside and I didn't want to creep him out by filming. Also excuse our dirty casa. I should have cleaned before I showed the interweb-net world our place. Here it is:

A Good Day

I hate when I write too many bloggs. I try to convince myself that it's mostly for me... Well it is. I like leaving my thoughts out there and if someone wants to find out what they are then they can help themselves. Okay so I'm bored again! I had such a wonderful day with Lindsey today and I didn't want to say "bye" to her when I dropped her off for work. I wanted the day to continue. I love her!! I never knew I could feel like this for a person. She's so amazing...

Today we went to Macon, MO. When I hear the name "Macon" I immediately think about the band Macon Greyson that Joe and I saw a few years back in the Atomic Cantina. What an amazing show. I had such a blast that night with Joe. I seriously miss Albuquerque right now. I'm not writing about Albuquerque though. I'm writing about Macon. Macon is about a third of the size of Moberly. It feels like a larger town than it is though. It has a lot of the same architecture as Moberly. The really old brick buildings with buisness signs on them. If it wasn't for the modern cars I would have been fooled to be transported to the fifties. It really gets me amped about American history. Lindsey and I were talking about how we could just imagine it bustling with people in the fifties. With high school kids wearing their letter jackets, throwing footballs around and girls with their poodle skirts and penny loafers(?). There was even an old drug store that was still operational, with a soda fountain y todo. So yeah. Great time in Macon. We then ate at a Mexican restaurant of all places. It was called Los Jimadores. I could just hear the Macon folk mispronouncing that one. Haha! It was delicious, and there were real Mexican's working there! Oh goodness! We took lots of pictures that I'll post soon enough. There was also an abandoned drive in movie theater, so Americana. I was transported to the '50's once again. The guys that were throwing the footballs around were taking their dates to the movie, ooo and maybe they were able to hold her hand. And Lindsey was there with me, imagining similar things that I was imagining.

I wonder if 50 years form now people will wonder about us and our day today?
