"I'm into soul shit, reclusive, and I do hibernate, cuz society is useless"

"I'm into soul shit, reclusive, and I do hibernate, cuz society is useless"... Ah one of my favorite quotes by Vancouver hip hop artist Moka Only. Lately with all the rain we've been having here in washington I feel like going into hibernation haha... It's just been raining all the time; even the locals are sayin this is really unusual for this time of year. Hopefully there will be a break soon, I miss the sun, running, outdoor stuff.... what I really miss is climbing. When everything F#$%in' sucks, I can find peace in my head climbing or skiing. Skiing and hiking last Saturnday was so amazingly. refreshing. I got to the top of this peak and by boots were soaking wet and my knee was feelin funky but there was nobody around for eons it seemed and I crested this ridge and saw the view to the south and west and just had this primal yell moment, like 'Aggggghhhhh I would feel so silly doing this in public but it just feels good to be alive', kinda moment... yeah corny I know, but it's all I got right now. I feel kind of cut off from friends and family. I don't get cell service here [kinda refreshing I guess really], don't know anyone other than the people I've met so far, and don't really have people in this part of the country I can go visit. I know, I did it to myself in a sense, but it's been pretty good so far, and things are starting to happen for sure, good things hopefully ha... The neighbor across the street stopped me the other day and was like "I saw you posted an ad up on the town message board in the grocery store [truth be told I did] looking for climbing partners around here, you should talk to this guy Blake who lives 2 houses next door, he's a huge climber and goes every weekend almost" Holy Shit! Thank you neighbor guy! I don't know who this guy is or even when he might be home but I think I'm just gonna knock on his door and introduce myself... I'm kinda afraid to, what I he's like "who the hell are you?"... but he's a climber I met he's cool... I just really hope this works. please please. Well anyways that's enough egocentric self-pitying pandering from me for now haha... I mean c'mon seriously... I'm stuck in one of the most beautiful places in North America for a summer.... world-class skiing, climbing, mountaineering, and biking is at my doorstep. What am I saying? :)

I just got this super-sweet sweater in the mail I've been waiting for all week. I know that's really random, but I loooove this sweater. It's made my 'Matix', a skate/ski/snowboard-wear company, and i found it on my favo. impulsive shopper 'mega deal' website, www.whiskeymiltia.com It's just plain red and gray horizontal stripes but I really dig it and it's super comfy. Now all I need is a hip coffee house where I can lounge around sipping on a latte and reading a book while checkin people out haha... But alas I don't want to drive an hour up to Nelson B.C [where there are plenty such establishments] when gas is $4.00+ a gallon.... plus I'm not really a prentious wannabe-hipster I swear I swear... :) But man I just wish there were some more hang-out spots other than in the grocery store [ohhh yeah... lol] or loitering along the 1/4 block of semi-open businesses in 'downtown' Metaline Falls. Ah well. Oh and the sun just came back out(!) so I'm going for a run!
Peace,
