I've been back home now less then 48 hours, and though I never thought I would say this — I'm kind of looking forward to being relatively still and just being able to focus on school and a couple other projects for now. This has been an incredible last year of travel, having taken an extensive road trip through San Fransciso, Portland, Seattle, and Vancover, a trip to Orange County with visits to downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach, two weeks touring Israel, and then this past weekend in Portland.
This last weekend in Portland was surreal, being in a beautiful city I'm slightly familiar with mixed in with people from all different points of the last two years of my life; Justin, Sparkles, and Ryan LaRue. We all had fun together walking the city and taking the tri-met to the downtown Farmer's Market, visiting the waterside, and getting to know each other better at Mount Tabor.
I still do not know how much longer I am going to be in Phoenix, but I am not focusing on that at the moment. I'm being pulled in different directions by my own seperate interests and wills, and I can confidently say that every city I have visited has its pro's and con's, and I would be comfortable in any city. At this point, I'm still here with alot of ideas and dreams, as always, running through my mind, and the temptations to make large plans is luring me towards maybe a bit too much daydreaming — the small things that are in front of my now, the everyday things and the important things, need and deserve attention.
That's what I'm looking forward to these next few months in a kind of different way — focusing on the important things that are often small and overlooked, with the hope of laying a foundation for the larger things that are also important. This might make more sense later, but again, I don't want to write so much about this that I get ahead of myself.
