:sunny:Im a traveler by nature. Don't care much about stuff. All I do is try to make people smile but I dont seem to have much luck. Portland is such a gloomy place. No one smiles unless they are making money. I cant stay doing anything for long before I gotta dissapear and do something new. All I do is try to help folk thats why I am in medical school for now. But soon ill be gone and I really dont want to be alone. Traveling aint half the fun when you talk to yourself. I am content with who I am. I just want to find someone like myself. I am a christian but I am not blind to others. I pull largely from budhism if you can even consider that a religion. Cant quite think about what else I am suppose to say about me.
People in Portland were making me feel weird ,always saying thanks and hello!..not used to strangers being nice..especailly in a city...pretty cool place I thought..Not gloomy as New Orleans where I was born and grew up in,and Memphis,TN,where I live right now..crime and murder are high per capita here and NO,LA ,and Portland was chill compared to where I grew up and lived most of my lives..Gloomy weather maybe,but at least you can go to most of the city without looking 360* around day or night becasue of gangs and crack heads and just crazy fucking people in general..I could actually relax somewhat in Portland,but people asked me if I was on Ice or coke becasue I still had the look all around you,see whats behind you,left,right,up,below,etc. .that comes from living in Violent citys,even rich parts of New Orleans you can get a bullet at anysecond over bullshit,and Memphis is crazy,gangs just shoot people for the hell of it..So Portland was great IMO compared to my hometowns..and why don't I move? It's all I have ever really known is city life, dangerous city life,trying to avoid trouble and it looks for you type of places..I am planning on moving somewhere better though,but I will be still scanning all around for a long ass time...
hmm. Interesting. Thats tottally not the feel I get here. Dunno when you were here last. To me its incredibly PC where everyone jumps and bites at the smallest statement. I also get depressed easily in gloomy weather so it might be harder for me. I loved boise idaho tho. Found that place very peaceful.
Well I was in Portland in the early 90's for a few weeks,on my way to visit family in Seattle,and again in 2003 or 2004 for a week ,visiting relatives from Bend,OR that came to Portland to visit me while I was there,again on my way to Seattle to visit family there...Portland was cool both times IMO, but Seattle was great in the early 90's,,I was in high school then,graduated in 1995,,but when I went in 92,93 the Seattle Music Scene was hyped up and all kinds of kids were flocking their to be "grunge musicans" and do heroin, why move somewhere becasue of heroin is beyond me,but I guess it was the "in" thing among some of the people my age and older to try an be like Cobain,Layne Staley,etc.. and do heroin,which they could have as easliy done in California or Texas even or NYC,or anywhere for that matter..anyway Seattle was pretty cool in the early 90's despite or maybe because of all the "new" people ,i dunno. When I went back to Seattle in the 2000's it was very different vibe,still cool,but the "real Seattle people" were their and the wannabes had left,died,OD'd ,burned out,etc.. and it was more mellow than before..but portand was about the same both times=pretty cool and laid back,but the last time it was more junkies around than before ,kinda likeSeattle was the first time...dunno I like rainy cloudy days, hate hot ,sunny,humid weather like were I live now and before..lol..I kinda want to move to Vancouver,B.C. because they are very mellow types their,but then again they are Candians so they always IMO are more mellow tha us americans..lol..plus I have some friends in Vancouver also who could get me the good bud,good hash,etc..aready there,but thats not areason to move anywhere,for weed and hash etc..or maybe it is..lol
I'm originally from the Seattle area.. was thinking about moving to Oregon in a few years to try and settle down til my next big adventure!! you'll find your spot in the world =) Welcome to HF!!
