Tweet Probably as a result of my aforementioned dislike of Redding, I have never bothered to give Sacramento a chance. I always assumed it was just a bigger, shittier version of Redding. I was wrong. This is a fantastic place. I’m sure a part of it is the way my visit here started. MJ, a [...]

Sacramento Whore House

Tweet 1/28/09 I got a small amount of video footage on the train from Portland to Sacramento, but it gets dark early. It was already bad light by 4pm, just an hour into the journey. I may post some of it later if it turned out okay. It wasn’t a real social ride. I was [...]

Tweet Like a magical birthday surprise last night appeared and exceeded my expectations. I wanted to see a movie and was totally stoked to find that one of my all time favorite movies John Carpenter’s They Live was playing at the Clinton Street Theater. They Live is a hyper-intelligent commentary on consumption, Hollywood formulaic b.s, [...]

Tweet 12/27/08 These are a couple of my friends in Portland. We’ve been cooped up during the holidays with the snow and are all feeling pretty crazy about now. Seems like it might be wisdom none the less. Today as I look out the window, I see most of the snow is gone and I’m [...]

Tweet 12/26/09 I’ve been having a great time hanging out with my friends here in Portland and I enjoyed the treat of my first white Christmas in a long time, but I’m glad to be leaving tomorrow. Portland isn’t my kind of town. Went to Powells Books earlier today, it was madness, I’ve never seen [...]

Tweet 12/26/09 It’s been great hanging out with my friends in Portland. For Christmas we all sang karaoke songs and made a big pot of chili. No presents, no drama, no problems, just good camaraderie, lots of snow, and a few too many cigarettes. Which reminds me, I used the e-cig in the airport and [...]

Portland snowed in

Tweet 12/23/08 Yesterday was perhaps the most memorable time I’ve spent in airports since I first moved to Hawaii back in 2001. Back in October of 2001 it was shocking to be in SFO because of the machine gun armed soldiers in the airports and the brand new intensive security…yesterday was different. Portland and Seattle [...]

Tweet 12/21/08 Thanks for taking these Mink! First, and I think this is funny, here is where they read out my name when I graduated “with Honors”. That phrase may sound familiar to some of you who have read Rough Living because a very crazy guy I gave a ride to several years ago kept [...]
