I Live in a Pick-Up Truck

This was a nine month journey of self discovery. I left Portland in May 2009 and returned in February 2010. I used this travel as a tool to regain self-confidence and a good perspective on the world. It worked.

tooling around santa barbara

well, day two in SB. this morning the city took down all of the bicycle flags and replaced them with american flags, apparently for memorial day. i liked the bicycle flags.

i was walking around downtown this morning and a restaurant had a help wanted sign out front. i thought about walking in and asking for the job, assuming it was something like dishwasher and i could be paid under the table. it isnt that i want to stop traveling, but i want to go slower and really experience more places, and i really like santa barbara.

this is a nice little town. i enjoy the atmosphere, the weather, and it has some personal history. i could see myself being here for awhile. i dont think that while will be right now, but i like it here. i am pretty sure i liked it here before, and i think that has hastened my appreciate this time.

last night i was at a bar called the tiburon tavern and i was just typing away, watching some of the lakers game, and the people there were interacting with me as if i were a regular. i chatted with some of the folks and it just felt regular, right.

so, i dont know. i doubt i will be here much longer than today and tonight, but i am not putting anythign out of the question.
