Questions...

Mind dump.....

How much junk can one person really hoard in 30 years? 

FREAKIN LOADS is the answer!!!!

How difficult can it be to quit your job, move to a different country, sell all of your stuff, say goodbye to all of your friends (including some new ones), rent out your house & remain sane? 

NOT EASY is that answer!!!!

How many leaving parties are really socially acceptable? 

:) ha - How much is too much? 

How difficult is it to make a decision about what you are going to do with the rest of the year?

CONFUSEMENT is a made up American word that springs to mind!

Keep Portland Weird

Im sitting in my heavenly bed, in a hotel where the bell boy knows my first name, where I no longer require ID in the bar (not because of any premature aging), and in a town where the coffee shop knows exactly how I like my Earl Grey. Multiply that by a whole load of special people and you have Portland, Oregon.

Today is my last day in Portland, I suspect for some time. I've been here for a week and Im not sure Im ready for it to end! I was prepared for this trip to be a difficult one, but even that wasn't enough to outweigh one important factor. People. 

I came here with a list (yes I know), a list of people that I needed, wanted to spend some time with. Those who I feel closest too, or those who have shown me great support and friendship. As I sat on Flight NW91 en route, the list was pretty concise. That is until I started to walk the corridors of the MH, or as I walked the lunch room in the TWC. Every few minutes someone else, another key player in my life and times in Portland, or at Nike. The list could go on and on.... and then came Thursday. Wow. 

At some point in the evening on Thursday (before the break dancing) I took a look around the room, only to realise actually how many great people were all in that small space, even more amazing, most of them friends. Talk about overwhelming!!!

So its Sunday morning, Im going to take a walk downtown, grab an Earl Grey, watch the world go by before I head back to face the reality and the 12 day countdown.

Thank you all for just being who you are, and doing what you do.

Keep Portland Weird!

Rubbish yet appropriate....?

Something that describes me I think... I mostly don't know how to handle the awkward stuff...

" A friend is someone who helps you up when you're down, and if they can't, they lay down beside you and listen"

This one is the cheesiest of all! but I LOVE IT... Mark Twain.

" Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, live like its heaven on earth"

Thats it for now
