Sobering up on the mountain.

Jul 02, 2007 12:00

so after the night of spontaneous dancing and drinking-- instead of a mellow sunday afternoon.
i decided to dehydrate myself even MORE by going on an 4 mile hike (one way) up a 4100ft mountain.

the hike was really nice. about midway, there's a flatter area on the trail with a wooden bridge leading to a bench area. they had plates that described a fire that had happened in 1910. The view point made you COMPLETLY immersed in beautiful gigantic douglas firs. a perfect image that makes you feel as if the growth and cities never existed. i imagined what it would be like if i was to live out like thoreau.

im dont know ive been more conscious about COLOR- but i really liked how diverse the people passing were when we were on the trail. we saw all colors, and that makes me feel like a proud american. maybe i'm making big generalizations, but i would feel that if one enjoys hiking- one appreciates nature, which makes me feel they would be concern with environmental issues. and it makes me tear with happiness that there's hope if everyone comes together, global issues such as the environment can be solved. it just occured to me that those people that collect signatures for environmental initiatives on red square should just wait in front of popular trails.

to explore the town of north bend, we all stopped by to have dinner at a local pizza place. they served chicago style pizza and have been opened for 28 years! the pizzas were delicious! our table ordered chicken, feta cheese, and garlic <3 and pepperonni. we had to keep a classic flavor. the table had their fun. a noobie to the group said we acted younger than our ages. hah. hmm... i know i go with the energy of the crowd, so immaturity just rubs off. and being around nick and eugene, you can always expect stupid things to happen. ;D harhar

it was a fun night. i dont feel guilty-- much. we left from brandon's house around 9:40pm. i was suppose to pick up debora from the pier! she had gone out of town for the weekend and CONFIRMED with me to get her around 9pm. Who wouldve thought the whole day for hiking would take 8 hours? thankfully, she didnt get in until around 9:30pm and that curtis and my mom had come home from their road trip to Oregon to be able to get Deb. the other guilt comes from enjoying myself out TOO MUCh and not focusing on the real goal here. this is why my body feels exhausted and my mind cant concentrate. i need more sleep.

this is the beginning of being in bed before 11:30pm.
