im getting ready for my trip up north. ill be going through san fran, portland, tacoma, seattle, and vancouver. ill be gone for over two weeks. i just got back from spending a bunch of money on travel gear. living in LA, i dont own a real jacket. so theres that and i seem to only own converse all stars, which ive been told don’t fare too well in rain and potentially snow. weak. im now the proud owner of sensible shoes and a badass jacket with enough zippers to fund some factory in taiwan 3 months. i also got a camelback, took the bladder out and bang, its a netbook backpack now. im amazing.

things have been really amazing in my life. im fortunate. and immensely grateful.
