On the road

It's been a while since the lasy update and an eternity of events have taken place. The last time i wrote i was in Grand Junction, Co with my good pal Scott. After spending about a week in the junk I experienced all types of adventures, including sailing, seeing the night life, learning not to go for a run while in the desert, moonlight rock climbing, daylight rock climbing, time at a cabin in the woods, and drinking beer the whole time throughout. The next stop was Denver, and what a stop it was! Arriving in Denver i felt a sudden rush of saddness, i attribute that to being in a big city alone, and away from the woods, my love. As quickly as i found myself disheartened i found myself in sheer exuberance. The Denver experience can be categorized as a beautiful 3 day party where sleep was a luxury and time moved quickly. A breif summary is as such:

Arrived alone, sad
Went to get tea and read, feeling better,
Met with friends for dinner and beer, delighted
more beer, pool, and dancing, off my face in joy
chatting and ultimately sleep, tired
Wake up early for coffee, excited
Rock climbing and river swimming, beside myself
mid-day break, tired
new burst of energy off to new freinds appartment downtown, revitalized
beer, dinner, beer, delighted once again
meet up with friends and perhaps another beer, off my face once again
sneak into hot tub, happy
discover hot tub is rather cold, disappointed
get pulled over and subsequently warned about a tail light, relief
arrive at the hippies house, tired
sleep, happy
wake up after a few hours, ready
find luke which takes all day, relaxed
4th of july party and beer, tons of fun
4tyh of july party #2 and beer, fun fun fun!
Talking late in front of the fire, relaxed and real
Wake up in front of the fire, exuberant!!!
Eat and leave denver, gleeful at the unknown.

Needless to say i cannot even come close to capturing the denver experience, there is so much that i cannot put into text and even more that i wont even though i can. After this I took a few days and ultimately ended up in memphis where i am now, but i will leave in about an hour. I have been here since thursday eavening and it has been incredible!! mostly relaxing, but still loads of fun. I have never been treated with such hospitality in my life and it makes me never want to leave, but my feet are itchy and the road has beckoned. Talor and the rest of the Norrid family have treated me so well and i cannot thank them enough. In all my brilliance i have decided it best that i leave today and not think about what i am doing or really where to go, except that i want to jump into the atlantic ocean within a week. A true theme for the last couple years of my life is that i have become progressively irresponsible and loving every minute of it. Where will i sleep tonight? Who knows and better who cares, all i know is that it is now and that sends a shock of excitement through every bone in my body. I lift my glass and make a toast, here is to today, might we all make the most of it,
Cheers.
