Fly Out Thursday
So I’m flying out Thursday, and not leaving San Francisco until I have a place to live… it’s funny that I leave when I have a place to live, but anyway. If I’m really swift I might try to finagle staying out there and have family/friends help in Lafayette take care of selling my car and letting the movers in to get my stuff. but I don’t know if I’m that agile.
There’s a Good Reason
The reason I haven’t been blogging much that everything I’ve wanted to blog about I couldn’t, then when I could blog about it, life got busy. The short story is that I accepted a job offer from a company called Jobvite (http://www.jobvite.com) which is based in San Francisco as in California. My first day of work is June 9th. I still need a place to live out there so I plan to fly out June 1st ish. I hope to sell my car before I go, and live close enough to work that I can walk. I want to find a place with room mates, and that’s proving tough to do 2,000 miles away. It’s amazing how much progress is hindered when you don’t have a forwarding address. But it’ll be a huge break away from life as I know it now and probably the closest thing I’ll ever see to a clean start. I can’t wait!
This is follow up to…
This is follow up to the dinosaur(?) post. I think I got cut off at a minute or so, I should actually try signing it, and–but what I’m trying to say is that I need to enunciate more and it reminds me of being in theater were we had a not a mantra but sort of a poem that we have recite and one part of it was trippingly on the tongue which made your–it really ____ your mouth moving and you speak more clearly. But there(?) is strange now that I’m jotting and trying to use that kind of pronunciation and then I’m sure I will sound totally different when you actually hear the voice recording. So, enjoy this Jott. listen

Birdseed, so I wanted…
Birdseed, so I wanted to brag about birdseed, and I’ve got a few minutes here on my way to something(?) today. And basically my point is that birdseed is a big farce but a scam if you will. If you think about sunflower seeds, you put the sunflower seeds in the ground, and you grow some sunflowers. If you think about apple seed, you put it in the ground, you grow apples. Birdseed, if you put birdseed in the ground, you do not get birds. You do not get birds ever, ever will you get birds from birdseed. Whats really good is whatever kinda flowers are meal that their using for the birdseed. So, what I say is I want my bird. I’m gonna call em up, I’m gonna send them a big nasty letter that says: Dear Birdseed Company, I would like my birds please. Your false advertise… listen

To Know When You’re Wrong
Talking to Michelle tonight I realized that when it comes to people I want to date, I have a hard time admitting I’m wrong about how perfect we might be for each other. From a logical stand point, if you say we’re not meant for each other, then by definition we’ll never work out. But I think the reason I try so hard to hold my ground is that I’m convinced you’ve missed something, that you don’t see what I see, because if you did see things from my point of view we wouldn’t be disagreeing.
So I run down a path of assumption, that she doesn’t know who I am. She can’t see how my quirks might compliment hers because she hasn’t taken the time to see them. I used a recycling analogy.
Would you recycle if you didn’t know that it would help the planet?
What if the only reason you had to recycle was “… because the city offered recycling”?
Are you even a good recycler now, knowing that it can help the planet? I know I’m not. I haven’t been shown a good enough reason. If they said “Will, you have to recycle or you’ll die next week.” I’d bring in every can, every newspaper, every milk jug until I was tired of life.
So then it was pointed out to me, that just like I may think she needs to be shown a reason that it’s perfect, she may think I need to be shown a reason why my hope is misplaced, that if only I could see it from her shoes, that I’d let go in an instant.
