hey_seattle
unhinged i grew up in the rust_belt
your proliferation of vegetarian noodle bistros
and pot dispensaries makes me smile

even when shadows of what I'm trying to outrun by being here
bring tears to my eyes
and make my eyes shake

the photographic_memory of the soot stain
his smack spoon left on my red bathroom rug
the day he wrestled me to the ground and pulled my pants off
and I was still giving him a place to crash
all the stupid fucking insanity
that is still bringing tears to my eyes
1700 miles away
what the FUCK was I thinking?

hey seattle
even with that swirling around behind my eyes
I'm riding what I've come to find out is the somewhat notoriously 'colorful' 358 on my way across town
and find a little miniature pinscher/somekindof terrier staring me down
with a sweet urban canine curiousity
and can't help but smile

a new picture to help
with my cut_and_run

thanks seattle

Doar you're displacing your heart.

.

You can run but the the hiding takes you away from yourself.

unhinged some places don't deserve my heart; a vast expanse of milwaukee and a vast majority of people there don't deserve my heart

so:

goodbye_milwaukee
and
hello_seattle

I smile more here

unhinged i live in a graffiti town now. i can get behind the lame tag; waiting for the 358 near shoreline is definitely lame. i identify with the angry snoman cause i too hailed from wsn for awhile.

but using the word karma to deface public property falls under the category of shit that makes no sense to me

jane o my dear.
i'm so sorry.

i was only in seattle very briefly. i arrived the first night to stay at my friend catherine's. i was exhausted and we didn't do much. the next day i drove to vancouver and back; that trip tired me out too and we didn't go out again. i left the next day.

i'm so sorry i missed you. i would have loved to see you.

unhinged i will preface this by saying that until very close to the election i was going to vote against 520. among other things, the process by how they would measure for dui was vague, the business aspects were vague and unnecessarily complicated (silly lawyer, stoners are like little kids. keep it simple stupid), and i felt the restricted amount was way too small. i was ready to vote no.



but, i had a historical evening. i went to a recreational pot store and used my debit card to buy pot.

i looked at a trifold menu that listed pot by grower, strain, thc percentage, amount, and price. and i smiled. because even though the price was ridiculous thanks to all the taxes, i could go into a store to get the medicine i need without registering myself to the government.


people ask me all the time why i moved to seattle. legal pot was definitely a reason i stayed.

flowerock. Seattle is nice for a city. I've enjoyed it every time. Is it really as rainy as I hear? I was there in October once... rained non stop.
I'm beginning to really enjoy San Francisco, but it's still a little more city than I know what to do with.

unhinged mmmm...especially in the last 18 months seattle is not as rainy as they say. we also had a record heat wave and drought here last year. growing up in the midwest where rain is very often accompanied by violent weather, thunder, lightening, and tornados, rain in seattle is usually a piece of cake, way more a mist or a drizzle, and even when it pours, the lightening doesn't come to chase me inside. (my father used to take me for walks in the rain as a child as long as there was no thunder or lightening)


to you, coming from the desert, it might be a totally different story

nr i missed the thunder and lightning when i lived on the west coast 160407

flowerock. Even foggy mist here has me feeling like an unhappy wet cat... but I'm adjusting and almost happy to have rain now.
I do miss storms with thunder and lightning. The lightning in the desert was amazing.
