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.

a story of one's life experiences, revealing faults and confidential personal details

i have a couple of confessions that i need to make. i want to call them confessions, but they might just be observations or random facts of my life. (really, i am just cheating the idea of writing, something i learned from douglas coupland books. when you want to say something but dont want to explain it, just use large type and/or numbered lists.)

1. i left baltimore last night and came to dc.
2. i do not like dc. there is a camera on every corner and military that patrols the streets. kind of like when i was in tijuana. i stayed here last night and thought to stay today, but f that.
3. my trip was initially dubbed "my magnificent travel of the summer of 2009" - it is almost winter now.
4. i want to take two days to get from here to richmond, but there doesnt seem to be much in between.
5. i realized today that i have not really thought about my trip or the places/things/people i want to see after richmond. now that i am so close to there, i have been trying to think harder about the future of this trip and what i had in mind for it, but there has never been a mind for it. richmond was the initial end of my trip. now it will be like starting over again. post richmond will be part three.
