of note: 8/8/2012

1. spent a good portion of the day packing/preparing the boat for a sail tomorrow, will be gone sailing until at least monday (in any given harbor, sometimes there is internet and sometimes there is not. it is important to try to 'go with the flow' with this haha.)

2. see where the tide takes me lol

3. ready for the olympics to be over, shut it down london

4. read 'james ganas was my best friend and im sorry he died so young of cancer' by james ganas. was an enjoyable experience. if someone had presented 80-95% of these poems to me and told me they were written by steve roggenbuck i think i would have believed it. i don't mean that in a negative way, but i can see how it could be perceived negatively.

5. sometimes when i respond to emails for UP Literature i feel like i am playing a role. like i am a little shit who is also too nice for you to get mad at for rejecting you or asking you to change things abt your submission. this is a really fun role to play that i recommend trying and also could probably be satisfying as a 'personality type' if i could pull it off irl.
