I am now a pedicab driver....google it!!


I just got the job today....so basically I ride a big tricycle around and give people rides for money. its amazing!

I love my life right now.

I got a job. its supposed to be one day a week but I have already worked 4 shifts this week. Its at a local coffee shop called coffee time. not a chain or anything...I know it sounds like one. Its a neat place. they have live music. It looks like a hobbit house or something inside. pretty neat.

nothing is really happening other than that.

yup

uh huh.

thinking about getting another tattoo.

I've had lots of interviews. still nothing.

arg.

not gonna stop having fun just cuz I don't have any dollar bills.



im gonna ride my bike, play my banjo, make hats out of stuffed animals, love jesus and be happy.

Living in portland now.

im jobless and homeless. really good friends are letting me stay at their place. uh

Portland is nice so far. Ive been here for a month now. given out more resumes than I ever have in my entire life. still nothing.

been getting pretty involved with food not bombs. cooking food and stuff. its fun.

yeah.

So ive been chillin in washington for way to long.

Now am finally leaving on my bike trip across the usa.

Starting point anacortes, WA

MY BIKE

I will be flying into el paso on april 18th and staying till the 23rd.

so all my friends we should hang out.

I will be riding my bike across america in 2 months. I have been saving for this trip for almost a year now. finally have enought money to attemt it.

I have built up a touring bicycle. I love it. its amazing.

Anyway 2 friends will be going with me. Monica and daniel. We will be going from washington to maine. should take around 3 months. Im really excited.

uh. yeah anyway just thought I would let you guys know. Sorry I havn't been the best at keeping up with this journal. I might be the worst at it.


I got my maps for the trip yesterday and im really excited!!

if you are interested in keeping up with the trip you can add our myspace. myspace.com/bikerideusa

we will keep it updated as we ride.

after a few days of glorious weather. I am...

crispy, lazy, and dreading work tomorrow.

these past couple days have been such great fun. dancing, riding, and laying in the park...all wonderful things to do in sf.


I really need to go on a long bike ride soon. I want to just take off and ride somewhere far away or maybe just a town somewhere near by.

Still planning the trip across the us next spring or maybe summer. I don't want to go in the summer but it seems like it might have to be. taking the northern route would be the best for that time of year I think.


oh the perks of being a coffee slave.......................work at 5am.


goodnight.

I think im gonna go to tinkers today...an fix bikes for little kids.

I got off work at 10am this morning. its almost like I have the day off.

Im excited about moving in with friends who I actually have something in common with.

Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yours" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their 5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

1.I hate most condiments...excluding ketchup

2. I have to sing along to any song that I know the lyrics...even if I hate the song.

3. When I go to a restaurant I always try and get a seat with my back to a wall...if that isn't possible I try to get one with the wall on my side. I guess it makes me feel protected.

4. I gave up on shoe laces...its gonna be slip-on or velcro for me.

5. I always cary a big bag of crap with me wherever I go. sometimes I get into the habit of never taking it off. like when I go to someones house I will just wear my bag the whole time.

I tag:

Monica
alicia
vanessa
diego

does anyone else keep getting a billion retarded messages on myspace. its kinda creeping me out.

yuck.

and I love you all.

My friend erik just rolled into town. It makes me very happy to have him to hang out with. YAY!!!

Today I went on a long bike ride. I had to go to this big disibility um convention thing. Where all the disibility schools and centers come once a year and preform for the biship of varanasi. It was an interesting cultural experience for sure. All the nuns wear saris. They were really nice ladies.

So on my long bike ride There was a place where the road was flooded I managed to make it through with only a few drops splashed on me. finders really help for that. Then On the way back I reliezed a little to late that the water was much deeper than it was on the way there. I was in the middle of it and couldnt go any farther. I ended up having to put my foot down in it....this is sewage by the way. And not only did I have to put my foot down but being that I stopped right in front of my friend I made her have to too....she got pretty mad at me. but hey what can you do.

Then When we got back to her house I took a shower. I like taking showers at her house because she has hot water. We don't. Anyway it turns out she doesnt have anymore hot water.. I thought "thats fine I will just get it over with" since I hadnt showered in 4 days. So I get all soaped up and then the water runs out...this happens alot in india. The tank was empty. so im there all soapy wondering what in the world I was gonna do. When my friend ute tells me there is a bucket of water left in the bathroom. so I was able to rinse off.

Oh and then I had to put back on my sewage soaked shoes...yummy.
