Teetering on a fence



I'm
* finally moved out of LA.
* excited about the future.
* scared to death.
* looking forward to many, many, planned and spontaneous adventures. 
* afraid of disconnecting.
* wishing I had one of those screen privacy filters for my laptop.
* in a coffee shop on Haight in San Francisco. 
* happy here for now.
* leaving Friday.
* anxious to sit down at a piano and stay there for two weeks.
* so thankful for Tennille and all my friends and family.
* all aflutter about many things.
* disappointed it didn't work out.
* certain of nothing.
* horny.
* on the brink of tears.
* feeling better than I have in months.
* hopeful.
* reluctant.
* apprehensive. 
* second-guessing every thought.
* not quite forgotten.
* definitely not forgetting.
* up.
* down.
* embracing.
* rejecting.
* ungrounded.
* holding tight.
* slipping.
* more confused than ever.
* ready to be done.
* willing to start over.
* teetering on a fence.

IDK

I don't know...all the other raw foodies have blogs. I'm not in a band, so this is my excuse - raw food.

Raw (vegan) food seems to be my next step in life. Next weekend I am moving from my home of 1.5 years, Los Angeles, to my temporary home of Fort Braggs, CA. I have registered for the Living Light Culinary Institute where I intend to spend three weeks studying the art of raw vegan cuisine.

It will most certainly raw(haw-haw)k. rawk. blargggh. The goal is to come up with as many raw puns as possible.

Following my three-week stint at Living Light (LL), I will continue north to the Oregon-Washington border where I will be reunited with my old stomping grounds, Hood River. For two weeks I will spend my time job hunting, apartment searching, and Master Cleansing. From there, I will begin to carve out a nice little nook for myself in Portland (with a few others, I hope - Kyle, Sarah, Sarah's BF, various household pets and plant life, strewn instruments, etc).

I'd like to open a business. A food company. A vegan food company. Maybe operate a food stand at local farmer's markets - fresh juices, smoothies, nut mylks, and fresh and packaged food fare. The ultimate goal is owning and operating a music lounge that serves vegan food, wine, and beer.

DID YOU KNOW?
Not all wine and beer is vegan. This is something that was brought to my attention a mere three weeks ago. wat?! Here is a website that tries to clear things up...almost: click me!

Breakfast-
*Green smoothie - kale, mango, papaya, agave nectar

Heroes is on next. I'm still not sure why I watch it.
