Zombie Prom

I saw this musical once. Turned out to be pretty good. Here is a picture of a character from it. The singing wasn't bad when I saw it in Cheshire. I found out later that one of my movie friends was in it.

I'm leaving for LA next week.

I'm reading Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut.
I miss some of my buds at home.

I'm going to try to make it to Mexico when I get down to San Diego after LA. Hopefully I don't get kidnapped.

send me some love.

When you are done, read a book.

LA

Heading south to LA on the twenty ninth.

It rains a lot in Portland. I wonder what LA will be like.

Been reading a lot. Working on Lonesome Traveler by Kerouac.

I don't have balls like that guy. He would just hop a train. Maybe mine will develop like his someday. Who knows?

See you soon.

just sit back

I sit back on my bed. Well my friends bed that I'm staying on. I write and read all day. I look at my thirty five dollar guitar that I bought with Dennis and Eric, I look at all my cloths on the ground. Some dirty from working on a roof. I look out the window and I see Oregon. It's raining lightly and I know later on I'll take a walk in it. I smile and think about the people I love and realize how many people care about me. It feels good.

Little Feat for music and coffee fills my vein.

Next week California and then who knows from there.

I'll see ya when I see ya.

I worked on a roof

I saw this in Portland. I don't know if I agree. We'll see someday perhaps.

So I've been working on a roof. Ripping shingles off and then cleaning them off the ground. I do this for food and a bed to sleep in.

Next week I am heading down to San Francisco. I am going to stay at the Elements hostel on Mission street.

I also am going to try to find some poetry readings to either listen to or read my own stuff.

Oregon is a great place and I hope to come back here again. The trees are thick and old, and the people are warm and full of kindness.

Right now I am going to watch Kingdom of Heaven. It has Orlando Bloom who I can't really get into, but the religious points of view meshing and the well done gore makes the movie great.

I am high on caffeine. Coffee rules men. It torments me and I will let it control me for the remainder of my days living.

St. Helens, Oregon

I saw this dude in Portland. Freakin town is full of wierdos...

I'm still living in rural Oregon. I've been writing and trying to find some jobs. I think I would rather focus on being a writer though.

I just finished the Mysterious Island by Jules Verne. Now I started reading Blue Beard by Kurt Vonnegut. I've already read the first seventy pages today. It flows rather well and it's pretty funny. The book is a fake autobiography from a famous painters point of view.

Still looking for any poetry readings in Portland. I have to get my ass in gear for that.

Might be going down to California soon. Who knows?

See you when I see you.

Coke rewards

I started collecting tops off coke bottles today. They have something called Coke rewards and if you save up enough you can get some junk, or you can help some charities. That is what I am going to do. There are some pretty interesting ones like getting clean water to people in Africa. I don't know if it is a scam, but it's something to do.

I'm almost done with The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne. It's pretty long, but entertaining. It's based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, a man stranded alone for five years off the coast of Chile. It is the same story that my favorite novel Robinson Crusoe.

You should read both of these books.

I'm looking for a job in Portland, maybe a room to live in for awhile.

We'll see.

soup to nuts

While walking around in St. Helens today some asshole comes up to Anna and I and tries to hand us some piece of paper that looks like a fake million dollar bill with Paul Mcartney's face on it. I don't like people that try to give me handbills, I don't remember ever going to anything that was advertised on a handbill.

So he starts off by asking if I had a christian background. I knew instantly I wanted to walk away, but Anna was polite and humored the guy. He went into this whole tirade about Jesus and if we were ready to meet him and be judged. It's none of this guys business what I believe. He then asked if either of us had ever committed adultery. I really wanted to get in his face, but I walked away. I hate people that try to use fear mongering to get you to believe in something. Tactics shouldn't be used at all.

If you ever read anything I write you fucker, I hope you get scared and pass out. Then I'll piss on you.

I'm living in St. Helens right now. I don't know whats on the horizon. I'm gonna try to write something.

Read a book and then keep your beliefs in whatever you believe to yourself.

Read a book though.

St. Helens, Oregon

So I am sitting on my bed in St. Helens at Anna's house. Her family basically let me in the house and don't care whether I live here or not. I don't know what I'm doing yet. I'm trying to figure out whether to find a job here or head down to California.

The weather is more temperate here. The people as well. I'm watching twenty one jumpstreet while Anna is at the gym. I'm gonna try to get some writing done.

On Friday I am going to a cafe called Berbatis pan and watching my friend Shawn and his band Netherfriends. I am excited about that. You should see him if he ever comes by your location.
