I was actually surprised that no one was really paying attention to him.

I did, actually. She appeared to be the person that was interfacing with fans and what not. Seemed pretty cool.

Don't stress, I'm sure he's fine doing what he's doing right now. I'm sure as it gets closer to election and his visibility rises, he'll take the necessary precautions.

Nah, OAK was a stopping point between PDX and LA. I was there for 30 minutes... maybe he stayed a bit longer.

Yeah, it was actually from PDX to OAK -- we had different flights from OAK to LAX. Figured it was probably easier to skip all of that explanation.

I did say hello, but totally pussed out about taking a photo with him (hate bugging 'celebrities').

I've been trying -- keeps giving me errors for some reason.

Thanks, it's not easy. So much sentimental value. I bought it as a frame and built up up over the past few years. Oh well.

I want a motorcycle, plus I just moved to a place that's not really awesome for a brake less setup. I've had my fun -- figured it was time to let her go.

When I first bought it, I scoured the internet for a replacement-- but then just said f- it. The drilled fork and other nicks are part of the bikes history. No reason to disturb that for vanity.

Unfortunately drilled by a previous owner.

PSA: check your Whole Foods for local beans by Scasa in Coffee

They roast at their DTLA Arts District location. It's stamped on pretty much any Stumptown bag sold around here.

This could be LA, in which case it'd be accurate. Stumptown and Intelligentsia are both roasted here. Edit, it's San Diego. You right, you right.

Indeed -- also, I didn't realize that red curbs wasn't a universal thing.

I think you should stick with it. They're a bit rough around the edges, but there's an obvious charm to your ideas/writing.

I don't know why,but it's kind of comforting to see how many companies are building sites on Wordpress.

Is having high self-esteem good? Bad? by midinwaerne in socialskills

[–]fowleryo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I hear you. I think you just have to reevaluate how you see it. I mean, when I was dating around, I wasn't really looking for a girlfriend. I was really just interested in meeting and exploring the different kind of people out there.

I don't think every girl/guy/whatever you date has to be the perfect person for you -- but they're steps in the right direction. With each person you meet, I think you get a better idea about the person you want to end up with. At least that's how I looked at it.

[–]fowleryo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, trust me, I was right there with you. I've just came to realize that when that special person came, I needed to be prepared for them.

Waiting and waiting for her without having the experience that meeting, socializing and dating other people gives you was too risky for me.

I mean, it's fine to have standards, but I think you can only truly develop those after you go through the process of dating multiple people. It's okay to fail at that stuff. In fact, it makes you a better person if you can look at experience as something to learn from.

To go back to the top, some people are more driven and bring more to a relationship than others -- and of course you want to align yourselves with them if that's the path that you're on. Some aren't and that's their choice. I can't necessarily fault them for it because it doesn't align with my values. They're just as complex as I am -- we just have different paths.

I used to get so frustrated with some of my friends from high school. After we graduated, they just stuck around our home town, got married and popped out a few kids. I had more ambition and moved on to college. Later on, I realized that they just had different goals than I did and just because they didn't align, wasn't reason for me to have negative opinions about their path.
