In 2009, I moved from NYC to PDX by way of a rental SUV and a moving company. I settled in the SE side of town and have been bombarded with great coffee, new friends, and pretty decent food. However, there are some things that are lacking – pizza, pierogies, and late night transportation need some improvement. I’m making the best of it and trying to survive. Sometimes that’s a tall order…
At the moment I’m writing and making music. It’s been nice to not have a job but also stressful as this means I have a new “job” – it’s called JOB HUNTING. But, with all things these days, I’m trying to take it as it comes. Things are as they are.
So that’s life, then: things as they are?
It picks its way on the blue guitar.
A million people on one string?
And all their manner in the thing,
And all their manner, right and wrong,
And all their manner, weak and strong?
The feelings crazily, craftily call,
Like a buzzing of flies in autumn air,
And that’s life, then: things as they are,
This buzzing of the blue guitar.
– Wallace Stevens
