Part two, the good stuff
One final note from the previous post: a few weeks ago I was having a pretty emotional conversation late one night. I was getting all choked up, and started thinking and talking about the temple at burning man, and the catharsis that comes with its burn. About 10 minutes into that conversation I realized that it was that sunday night, and the temple had burned 2 hours earlier. I'm overdue for some emotional release.
Just so as not to leave you all thinking I'm wallowing in a pit of despair all of the time, here's some upsides.
I'm in no danger of starving. There are tons of contracts out there that pay plenty to live on, if under market for my level. They are boring as hell, but I will take one if it comes down to it.
I'm surrounded by an amazing and supportive network of family, friends, and lovers. The people around me keep me fed, snuggled, laughing, entertained, challenged, and afloat. Thank you.
I'm buying myself a new bike frame for my birthday, and am looking forward to moving all of the components from my current bike over to it. I test rode one a week ago, and in the first 10 feet I got all swoony over it. It's how a bike should feel.
Breakfast today is leftover rice, reheated on the stovetop with soy milk, raisins, honey, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, a splash of bourbon, and a twist of black pepper.
Life is good.
