photos to share

i have some photos to share from our adventures west and middle and you can see them here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2149874&id=3108376&l=a6ddb5d444. if you like them and feel that you would like to see 1040 more, i can send you the link to all the photos. you know, photos don't really do it justice at all.

even though i'm home now and have lots of clothes to wear, i still just want to wear the things ive been wearing for the past month and a half. i think its a metaphor or something.

3 days have passed since i arrived at night to a city of my past and found tolu and alex and meshuggah coffee and freshly painted walls. it was strange to play visitor in a city so familiar that i sometimes feel i haven't left. for one day, it was very difficult. today i'm happy because the sun is really warm and a slightly wobbly front bike tire did not prevent tolu and i from riding to local harvest for brunch or forest park for a few hours of grassynaprolling. this weekend is flooded with festivals and we've partaken in a few. its been great seeing familiar faces and some special spots like the farm and the coop. and of course meshuggah. if anything was superbly weird, it was the feeling of the wash u lawn in my toes as i walked barefoot towards mcmillan, the things you've dropped from memory altogether are perhaps the hardest to rediscover.

yesterday tolu showed me a tree that covers the whole street with its branches and touches the houses on one side. it was cool.
