I wish God was dead.

the world is falling apart slowly and you can thank our good friend religion. this is what happens when your identity is completely tied to a rigid set of ideals! this is why temperance is a virtue! this is why wisdom is held by those who sit long and ponder. obviously our president is not nearly up to the task he's forced himself into. this world needs a leader not a decider. i can't describe to you how frustrated i am that our country has instigated and abetted war upon war. if they wanted us to get into one hell of a shit-storm they've succeeded past anyone's wildest dreams. it's hit the fan and we've got no plan for how to win. this is what happens when you let an ape play human for a day.

do you ever feel like you'll never stop being in transition?
i've been in washington for over a year and yet i still refer to both colorado and here as home. it feels wierd to talk about colorado without saying home. it's where i was born and grew up. but then this is my new home. i guess maybe having my very own place soon will help me feel like i've really fully set down roots here. even so, i can't help but wonder if this happens to more people than just me.
i feel like i'm in limbo, in some ways, just waiting for some catalytic event to clearly define home and former home. it just hasn't come yet. it's a lot like my views on religion right now. i've left my former spiritual home and it almost feels like i'm waiting for some epiphany to come and begin my new faith.
i just hate not knowing what i'm about. i hate not knowing in general, it's one of my most powerful pet peaves. i need to know the answer to it all.
i do know one thing,
that is all.

our heatwave has spent itself for the week, i think. it's finally cool out! i can't wait for it to get back down into the 80s. i'm spoiled by the weather here in the great evergreen state. back home in colorado you shrug of 95 like it's no big thing but out here it's sooooo hot by 90 you can just sit inside and feel hellishly hot the whole dang time.
went role-playing last night and it was like trying to have a good time in a furnace with the burners on. i thought i'd die before i did it again today but it did cool off.
come to find out i've done gone and forgotten a lot of my english composition skills since i've been without need of them for almost a year in an academic setting. oh well.
might as well make that all, y'all.

went to the ol' ballgame today. watched our good ol' Ms beat up on the Red Sox. great day of baseball, all. our new center fielder had the wheels to get it done on defense and the bat to get on for the offense. ichiro went 3 for 5. beltre made yet another great stop at third with a subsequent great throw for the out.
we have to have one of the best fielding team in baseball.
i got the sunburn of the summer thus far, however. so i'm sitting here with a bit of extra rosiness in my cheeks and a bit of itch in my arms.
who do you all root for?
sumo, is your team the A's or the Giants?

Here's how to celebrate cinco de mayo in style, y'all. let's just say we sent sara's sister out for tequila and she didn't know they weren't all created equal. i think that terpentine might have tasted better.


Here's the climbing pictures i promise you all, too.

i've been having a recurring problem with backfiring. not me personally but my personal transportation. ok, and me personally, too. but that's a whole other story related to the new job. it's making me a bit unhappy but also makes me want to stick a frozen grape in my tailpipe and shoot it out the back like a cannon...i'll have to try it sometime. maybe it'll be funny.
past that it's just a matter of living and working. i'm working every day of the week now! it's a good thing because i need to make and save money for a month or two out when sara and i move. i'm excited! i'm getting a place! with some of my sense of decorating mixed in, lol.
and i'm totally going climbing today before work! woot!! it's a very good thing that we're getting out because i've been itching for it. i haven't had a chance to do anything more than a pitch in a week and a half now. not a cool thing at all.
i'll show you guys some of me leading on a 5.9 route later on tonight. it's fairly cool and i'm totally not naked. it's amazing.
oh, and i found out there's a clothing optional beach in the area! time to get rid of those tan lines the fun and free way.
anywho, i've got to get along to homework and class so that i can justify climbing later on so you have a great day and i'll talk to you soon.

really quickly, life is good, i got sara to like climbing (!), i've got the tully's thing rocking steady, found some new music (!), found some old music (!!), helped kill a gay discrimination referendum here in the state (take that Tim, you prematurely geriatric asshole!) and...have been loving on the gorgeous summer here in the otherwise perpetually cloudy northwest.
how have you guys been doing? i hope well.
