JessPDX: February 2007
http://jesspdx.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Musings about music, writing, Portland, my new house, my travels, my family, politics, whatever. Wednesday, February 14, 2007. We won't be afraid to be alive anymore. I haven't posted here in a month, what to say? Well tonight I went to a reading at Powell's that was really interesting. It was Byron Katie, the founder of a school of spiritual teaching called The Work. Which is quite comprehensive. Or see her somewhere on her book tour. Also this evening I bought the new Patty Griffin. My Pictures at Flic...

Details of shows are here. Every once ...

JessPDX: August 2006
http://jesspdx.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Musings about music, writing, Portland, my new house, my travels, my family, politics, whatever. Thursday, August 31, 2006. With exactly no help from the government.". I finally read the rest of the Mother Jones cover article from the May/June issue so I could send it to Rebecca: "The Revolution Will Not Be Shrinkwrapped: Breaking the Industrial Food Chain." I liked this sentence: "The [$14 billion market in organic food] was built by consumers and farmers working informally together outside the syst...

Every now and then the spambots latch on to an outdated post from my old, decaying blog and bomb the shit out of it. I have no idea why this happens. The logic of it, I mean. The pattern. Has to be a pattern, right? Some SEO equation my brain can't calculate. A word that's trending tucked down in there somewhere. Why 20 nonsense ads posting to the comments of a five-year-old post in less than three hours? I gotta believe I got new wings sprouting. It's good to be reminded. Faith is believing that on of t...

Musings about music, writing, Portland, my new house, my travels, my family, politics, whatever. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. Thanksgiving trip to Vancouver. So this year for Thanksgiving, I went to Vancouver, BC, where it was not Thanksgiving and I had no relatives. Lisa had a discount at a nice downtown hotel, so we went up for 4 days to explore the city and hang out. We ate lots of good food, drank lots of yummy cocktails, and walked around Stanley Park. And walked across the suspension bridge. The n...

waterwheel: July 2015
http://hollyswaterwheel.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
I am not going to do the obvious. I’m not going to stand up here going on about the Grateful Dead and synchronicity and LSD and bare feat and the sky, and how the sky looks moment by second when you’re dancing barefoot in the grass with a head full of acid. I already beat that horse dead enough. This is totally different. Not about the Dead. At all. This, this is about Phish. And bare feet,. And how the sky looks when you are dancing barefoot in the grass. We’ve seen a lot of life together her and ...

I offered up my goods to the devil or the gods or the universe. Whatever bigger than everything entity has the power to make such backroom bargains. I said tell you what. Give me 9 to 5 with bennies and a 401k. One thing I can hold onto. And, perhaps, a little something extra for a weekend at the beach. Anything, I said, anything will do. Smite me to a cubicle life. Of gray office damnation. I said you can have whatever you want,. You can have this. All my words, take them. They're yours all yours, I said.
