1. i am moving to richmond to try my luck and find new adventures with my favorite, taylor. i am on the prowl for jobs and cool organizations that are connected with hispanic populations and public health. if you can help me out, i am sure i can find a way to repay you, even if it's just a floor to crash on in my new richmond place, whenever we find one.
2. i'm glad to be spending another hot sticky night in north carolina. i walked out the front door with elvis this evening and kept on walking up the street to my friends bria and kavannah's house, where we kept on walking to buy 40s at the gas station on the corner. we sat on their big southern porch and i listened to kavannah's stories about illegally immigrating to rome with her family when she was in 7th grade. we made plans to hit up the swimming hole next week. tonight i am pretty glad for the dirt and grime that's sticking to my skin. it feels like summer.
3. hopefully wo-man, my friend and the youngest brother of the chan family, who owns fortune gourmet, will take me up on my offer to get him a penpal so he can practice his spanish. i want him to befriend the boy across the street, pedro, who is fifteen and spends 60 hours a week mixing concrete and loading brick. sure they live in different cities, and one goes to school at the same time the other goes to work, but they're both teenagers and they're both bored a lot. i thought it might work, but if not, and you know any spanish-speaking teenagers that want a pen-pal, let me know.
4. one of the guys from work got in a fist fight with another guy from work tonight. i know because he called me and told me about it. it's funny how working at a construction company with 12 mexican dudes and a married couple still invites the kind of drama you'd expect from a bunch of high schoolers working at a movie theater. whenever i get a phone call from someone from work, i have to wonder what i'm about to hear next. it's ridiculous and at the same time, i'm glad that things never get boring even when you go to the same job every day for over a year.
5. life is changing, and fast. by now i think i've had enough major changes to know that the only thing i can expect is a whole lot of waiting and inaction and then one sudden fell swoop in which i wake up the next morning in a new city and on a new page. the anticipation is the hardest part, the build-up is all formality. and life is just moving on, no matter what city i fall asleep in on any given night. i'm glad that tomorrow it'll be fredericksburg.
