getting lost on road less traveled

Yet another update

after my departure from Portland I i medley headed north in search of a place I truly wanted to visit Seattle Washington. I have heard only good things about the city and I can see why I visited the space needle which was astounding it is a sight to see. The overview of Seattle. I went to pike place market at coast and ate some wonderful( and expensive sea food). The last truly memorable place I visited was the center for wooden boats some truly insane creations were made. There were many other great locations but I'm not feeling it

           Next was Vancouver first time out of the country and i have to say it was weirdly great it felt familiar but different people were nice the city was clean it was easy to get around i really enjoyed it. First i visited Dr Sun Yat-Sun classical Chinese garden which is supposed to mimic life during the Ming dynasty and it was remarkable like a trip back in time they so expertly did everything in this small city and makes me more excited and pumped for when i get to china. next was Vancouver aquarium i love aquariums it like the zoo if they were a bunch of weird animals that were all outside, i also wonder why St Louis never had an aquarium, I'm just going off on the stupidest tangent ever but it was amazing and futuristic it was really cool and yeah. Last mention able thing was the queen elizabeth park imagine the nicest golf course you've ever seen times 100 this is gorgeous, how they keep it so nice in the winter is beyond me but its amazing.
            Honestly i need to get this show on the road or i will never finish next was my crazy long trip to Alaska in which i tried not to stop and see way too many parks and stuff but in reality its everywhere anywhere i drove from Vancouver to Alaska was beautiful absolutely breathtaking and thousands of parks that span for areas larger than a lot of states.It was great boring and terrible all at the same time i have never hated driving more in my lif

The hidden me

I have never shared a story outside the ones I do for school which are pretty lame and uncreative. But I have never shared the many things I write in my life I have 7 scripts and a few stories that exceed 20 pages. So during this ridiculously long trip I plan to buy some add space and get a short weird story I made see what happens. I love writing. but when I write I always try and think of a story no one has made and in order to do that it gets really weird really fast and many of the people either love it or hate it that's mostly why I never share my stories with many people

a very large and postponed update

Sorry for not blogging more i promised myself i would. But I am a week into the journey and i am now currently in Portland Oregon. From then to now many amazing things have happened. i went to Austin and went to a ton of wildlife reserves(big fan of nature), went to town lake a town in the middle of a river , and then went to one of the many historical markers within the town( mostly about the Alamo). After that i was headed for Cicada Juarez an old Mexican american town in the middle of a desert but on the way to Albuquerque lots of museums and very interesting town in general very poor but modern and shady in general i also went to a nightclub that was a 1920's margarita bar. i had a short visit there before i made it to Albuquerque which was neat it all the Hispanic architecture and how close the houses were to each other yet again i went biking in the Sandia mountains and visited the rio grande along with old town a town that hasn't been touched since 1706 and last but not least they have New mexico college within the city limits so i went to see a game. once i left Albuquerque i found my buddy Kyle Kennedy hitchhiking on the side of highway 40 on my way to phoenix he did the exact same thing as i did except he didn't have a car and from then on things got a whole lot better i finally had a companion because it is a little weird doing everything by yourself and splitting up driving is wonderful. From that point on we went to so many concerts jumped onto golf course and everything i didn't really want to do alone. we went to Phoenix and saw baseball game a ton of hikes and trails even a few symphonies. after that we went to Vegas and well what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but it was a blast. after that it was los angeles the city of angles we did everything went to long beach Disneyland Santa Monica pier la brea tar pits and a ton of concerts that we could have never seen in  St Louis including: run the jewels mastadon fleet foxes Mac demarco queens of the stone age Mic Jenkins and many many more. after that comes our second to last stop in San Francisco a beautiful modern city tons of stuff to do many memorable eat out spots many historical spots and obviously golden gate bridge. after that i had to have a hard goodbye with my good bud Kyle this was ultimately a journey to find myself and to get a new life not to relive my old one. So i brutally murdered him under the wheel of my tire I didn't really plan to kill him but I thought it was a cool idea and I'm going to Canada so maybe i will get away with it i feel pretty bad about it considering he paid for everything.

class walk

                                       CLASS WALK                                        

our class walk was very different from the escapism described in the reading from Henry David. I was kinda into it until i saw the construction only 100 feet away and the many trucks that have been paving a trail. in a way it was the exact opposite of the reading. In the since it was the opposite of what he was about it was mans progress the way we call nature ugly we clear it out its gorgeous. Once I got over it and moved farther down It wasn't all bad we did see some ducks a stream a stream of crap people dumped some stone work parts of the old track and a very angry lady for being on her property. I mean she was in her pajamas at 230 on a Tuesday but that's none of my business. But for how cynical I am I did enjoy it and it really got my mind off school and was a cool idea the whole construction thing really bummed me out but once I got past it I guess I kinda did lose myself like Henry described.
