SO this is going to be the first entry in quite some time for me. read this if you want to, its pretty long and has some random crap in it but its more for memory than anything else. I decided that i am going to start this thing and see how long i can last with it. I realize now that i have a lot of tight ass memories at college and they seem all too hazy, pretty much because i smoke a lot, drink more than occasionally and wake up hella early being haggard as shit but i wouldnt have it any other way. This has been a really good summer, the people that are here in ptown are all the good friends i had during school including some new peeps that i met, sasha, emily, gig, ashley, joy, christina, gammy, and everybody else that i got to know better. So far this summer i worked 30 hours at the library over a month, and then realized that i was a lazy piece of human, it was great. I've been longboarding as well, went up to the gorge to maryhill awhile ago and that was breath taking, 22 perfectly banked hairpin turns on a 3.2 mile road and you only have to push at the top. but let me tell you something there aren't any cars on it so you no worries there but hiking it over and over gets to you fast. I also really want to get a roas bike to ride around dt ptown or sauvie island or maybe somewhere a lot farther than that, i think a day trip to the coast would be really fun to do at some point. Sauvie island is now my new rope swing or wintler, all we do is bring an excessive amount of beer and spend hours there. I have yet to go to the nude beach, but Nick went there a couple days ago and sure enough a couple with a combined weight of about 500 lbs comes strolling out of the bush, sporting the FUPA. These are definatly the stories that i want to remember in the future years. I started watching a lot of sports too due to Taylor, being from corvalis he was all about the NCAA baseball championship, and Will was all about the world cup so he got me into that. I can't wait to watch our girls soccer team play again, hopefully they can be champs this year as well eventhough we dont have Sinclair. On the nice days we've been BBQ'ing so much burgers, chicken breast, hot dogs, and at times the occassional steak. I find it to be so good that i have it for breakfast on the weekends, then pass out in the sun soon there after. Somehow we got the fattiest collection of backyard furniture, a full size hammock, a picnic table (thanks to sparks and our neighbors), 2 pool sunchairs, and an outdoor table. The job that i have now is the shit as well, i get paid 10 bucks an hour while i listen to music sipping coffee and working on CAD pretty much whenever i want. I work upstairs with 2 other engineers at an engineering firm called DL Design. The D and the L are the owners of the place whom are my bosses and are really cool, there are like 9 engineers and 3 secretarys, so its small and laid back. As a matter of fact i am writing this at work right now because all three of my bosses are out doing important things. I work mostly on projects that want to adopt principles of sustaianable design, like managing storm water on a job site and desinging the piping at goes under ground and eventually connects to a city pipe. im pretty sure i spent too much work time on this. jihad out.
