Ahem, calling all of you mindless fools who have nothing better to do than read the thoughts of another poor mindless fool... hello again. It has been awhile since I have updated this outdated piece of work so here it goes. It has been an eventful couple of months, or half a year..., but isn't that life anyways? Portland has been serving as my sanctuary for awhile now but with the past few visits back to the bay area and LA, the two places that I despised for so long, I am slowly starting to miss them. If you ask a local Portlandian what the place is like, a lot will say it is what San Francisco used to be like and it is what Los Angeles will never be. Missing something or somebody or a group of people can be pretty tough on the mind no matter where you are. Social networking only makes it worse even though so many use it as an excuse to "stay in touch..." Bottom line, missing people sucks. I miss my family and friends.
