Portland's radio feed is clear and interesting.
I found this app for my phone a couple days ago. It takes me back to my childhood when we visited my dad's parents. They always had the scanner on. The news in Roseburg, Or was more often than not about someone speeding over Rice Hill.
Yesterday the on the portland scanner they were in-pursuit of a drug dealer in my Mom's mom's neighborhood in NE portland. Same neighborhood I was born into. Very Fun.
Today's Stats:
woke up at 6:20a
have already wasted 2.2 hours browsing the internet.
two people deleted me from facebook in the last two days. ??
As an individual, I am growing now. We all grow everyday, maybe. Sometimes the differences are more obvious or pronounced. Waking up early is becoming an option, and having energy is too. There's an anger in me, and I'm still unsure what it means. While some things in the world around me are definitely aiding toward my explosion, there also must be a large portion to my failure to recognize and meet my needs.
Stats of the day:
Attended one bachelor party
Smoked two cigs
consumed no brews
money lost to texas hold 'em: $5
Years lived in Portland: most of them.
Desire to see anything else: most of it.
collected meh photos.
Started one flier for a volunteer project. HELL YES.
The caption goes, "Hi Grandma! I called to tell you that Luke proposed to me today."*pauses while grandma speaks* "Yeah we're getting married this August!" Enters Photo:
I will be for sure attending five weddings this year. Possibly six if certain circumstances remain.
Today's facts:
Purchased one Hotlips Hawaiian/Pepperoni for engagement party.
Rode a Mt. Bike with no brakes across town.
Saw puffy clouds.
Laughed much but am generally feeling easily angered.
This lady was running from the police through I-405. She took the 6th ave exit and t-boned a minivan.
Really, there's nothing to report here other than I was able to be near something that doesn't normally happen. Other notes from this, the woman who was hit is fine, and so is the German shepherd that was caged in the back seat.
I didn't understand why some people were laughing at the cartoon bear olympic mascot, "Pedobear."
Turns out it was either a mixup, or a prank the paper played.
Well, after a google search. Here's what I found
I was disturbed but laughing at this,
But, going further into the pages of the website revealed others which I thought were, well, enticing me to laugh, but were still completely heartbreaking,
That's all. Here's a song I enjoy listening to. similar to radiohead.
I am jacob. Have you tried looking at yourself in 3rd person and beeen able to say, "that there is my name."? The name "jacob" seems like me, and then it doesn't. I try to think about what a jacob looks like to me, and I get curious, because I don't think of anyone or anything in particular. The way "Jacob," or "jacob" looks in writing or text, appears, to me, foreign. I do not believe it is a name I own, so much as have been leant, or am borrowing and using for the duration of this life.
According to urban dictionary,
Jacob is,
romantic and very loving person
vary kind hearted
a fighter and a lover
bold
has anger issues often
falls for girls easy but gets over them well
never scared of anybody
and loves loves loves sports
This sounds like a lot of people, and, it does have everything right about me. Except the part about "Easily falls for girls and gets over them quickly." Those I've truly loved, I will never be over.
I keep thinking about Eggars' What is the What, where each person gets a name from different groups, tribes and walks of life. In that process, the names are not so adhered to the individual as they are more a point of reference. For those surrounding, I suppose. I naturally do not identify with my name. But I keep it close, as it is currently the best resource I have for the world to identify me.
Starting a design project today for a Realtor in Vancouver. As a perk, I'm getting access to the Adobe Master Suite CS4 for an indefinite amount of time. This will be opening up the doors to all my future projects.

Notable news in my life are the projects that have landed themselves in my lap without my asking for them. This is fun work and definitely challenging me to move forward. Here's a link to my Flikr Which I have been into updating as I complete different photo projects.
Here's a link to my JPG profile. Which has the same photos as the Flikr, but here they are entered for the chance of being published.
This year is the last of an era, I do believe. I am sad everyday because this time has been great. I am also looking forward with anticipation as I prepare to go about my next move in life.
Anyway, that's all. Maybe I'll be checking in here more regularly?
