Took a trip to Asheville with some very amazing ladies. Waking up to "ew...ew, ew, ew" coming from Erin, I looked just in time to see dead baby bear and its brightly colored insides in the the road. And other than the pumpking spice latte which tasted like tree bark, it was a great trip. Its funny how a day trip can make me feel like I'm away from my apartment for a long time. It was good to return home.

I'm trying to be authentic and meaningful in my relationships. Its hard sometimes. But its even more scary than it is hard. Being so open requires trust but I'm trying.

We are stiving to keep the granola hut clean. It seems like an endless battle but its not too bad (most of the time).

I finally gave into facebook. I with held for a few years but somehow it got to me. I will not become addicted as so many others have done. I think I like it becuase it allows me to get into conact with people I never thought I hear from or see again. Thank you smart guy who thought up this network.

Longing is such a horrible feeling. But I do, I long.
Me verás volvar
por la ciudad de la furia
donde nadie saben de mi
y yo soy parte de todo

Buenos Aires se ve
tan susceptible
es el destino de furias

Me veras volver
Me veras volver
A la ciudad de la furia
