we have been sleeping in the redwoods and on the beach the last couple of nights. i have misquito bites all over my face! oi. we met up with this austrian anarchist named lex who has a white sports car from arizona and we all squish in pretty tight. last night he cooked us mushroom pasta with sour cream sauce and i made fried plantain for brekkie. feelin' kinda homesick.. but learning lots of good skills. how to... pee outside, hop a freight train, steal from safeway, hitchhike, cultivate dirtyness, make soy yogurt, find edible plants, make a stove out of a pepsi can, and many other things.

chillin' in oregon with my pimpin' pirate posse. we were taken in by these christian international development youth group, at their community house in eugene. then we checked out cob building near coquille and next we hit up the hotsprings. there were lots of naked hippies and bikers there. i saw atleast two greatful dead tatoos, a rat, and some other wierd stuff. went on a walk through the forest naked and tried to weave baskets unsuccessfully. we've been staying in this dude nature's RV. nature is a natropath/nutritionist who specializes in raw food and kundilini yoga. we did yoga in the forest and we ate glorious raw meals, with the only exception of the pizza research institute in eugene where we had a topless pizza party in the rain. that was pretty good too i have to admit.

it's pretty easy to live cheaply here. plenty of camping, cool kids, and cheap/dumpstered food. i haven't eaten this well in a very long time. gearing up for rnc in august.

screaming children outside my window. i am sitting in the sanctuary, the chi ballanced just right. all windows, slanted attic ceiling which two beds placed on opposites sides of the small room, a carpet in between with a pillow in the middle. all i can see is green tree tops. good organic food everyday, yummy books from the library, and high speed internet access. you would think i would be happy? instead i feel insecure and clumbsy.

shhhhhhhhhh.

go meditate.
