I'm here, and it's now. Ironic, yeah? That's always the answer to that question. Yet, more specifically, I am at my mother's apartment in Bellingham, Washington typing on her small laptop as twilight fades and she sits in the adjacent room watching the Daily Show. We just arrived back from viewing a movie at the local Pickford Cinema, a very thought provoking film called Food, Inc. I found myself surprisingly emotional after watching it, and somehow, it brought me back. Like a fog lifted. Hard... Sign in to see full entry.

So, here I am back in Washington. Got in on Monday. A lot of stuff going on in my life. I arrived here at my fathers, which is where I'll be living, and it's a full house.

Wow, Florida is a big state. My girlfriend is starting to think I'll never get back seeing as I'm still in the same state I started in. Should fly by once I get out of this giant. I could probably make it all the way through Georgia tomorrow if I wanted to. Will probably stay in Atlanta though. So, the Everglades were pretty, the whole drive has been. Made it 400 miles yesterday, ended up in St. Petersburg which is right on the Gulf and really beautiful. There were a couple bridges that were... Sign in to see full entry.
