For most of the month of July I will be adventuring at sea, sailing up along the Pacific Coast from Santa Barbara to Seattle. I don’t expect or really want to have internet access during that time. But while I am busy getting wet, I don’t want to leave everyone else here high and dry. So I am putting together a bit of a retrospective. It will consist of a variety of things (depending on how much I have gotten done before I leave):

1. Excerpts from my top secret private notebooks which I have been keeping since I came to Seattle over a year and a half ago. The notebooks are where I capture ideas and randomness which get eventually morphed and rolled into longer pieces of writing here on my site.
2. Links to old & interesting articles you may or may not have read here in the past 4 years, depending on how long you have been following this shit
3. I’d like to try and put together some YouTube videos as “reference point collapses”. Which only means that I am going to take my favorite songs and set them to slide shows of cool images I have been collecting and posting here for the last six months.
4. May also just post some random articles on other sites and things which I’ve been tracking here as well.
5. I’m hoping all this will be fairly entertaining from a “get to know you better” perspective - never mind helping me put my own life and travels up till this point into a clearer framework perhaps. And also maybe there will be some cool quasi-divinatory aspects to collecting all these intersections of information together. Towards that end, I may also include rune and tarot readings in each post as well. We’ll see if I get to it.

Anyway, wish me luck. And we’ll talk when I get back.

Happy Birthday!

PS. I wrote this before I knew that my trip had been postponed. But I am going to go ahead and continue with my plans to post videos, links and various notes from the past couple years. If I feel like it (I’m sure I will) I will continue to do regular posts in addition to that stuff. So enjoy. Another longer post coming today, in fact!
