random thoughts and moments...
today I got my first flat tire while riding my bike home from school. i'm actually pretty surprised i went as long as I have. I've had the bike since march of this year, but i've logged some pretty serious mileage since. not sure if i am going to try and patch it tonight or just take the car to school tomorrow.
have you ever given someone advice and in the moment realized that you should probably be doing the same thing. a friend of mine is trying to make it as an artist writing/drawing comics. he wasn't sure how to get started and i suggested to him that he might consider finding someone who is doing what he wants to do. then just start bugging them. ask them questions. see if they have any advice for him. and as i'm talking through this with him i'm realizing that i should be doing the same thing.
last night as we where getting ready for bed mish commented that this will be our second to last night sleeping here. its funny. i wasn't sad at all. as i was lying there i had this feeling that i had already moved on from this place. almost as if i really haven't been sleeping here the last few days. it felt weird. like i'm in between places. it was difficult when we received the news that our rent would be increasing and we'd have to move. we really loved the place we were living. but we are excited about the move. it will be good.
i got to hang with my friend/youth pastor/mentor/boss/friend brent this past week. it was wonderful getting to chat and catch up. its pretty cool seeing how the relationship has evolved over time. how many different roles he has played in my life. i'm pretty sure he is playing the amazing friend role right now. and i'm ok if it stays that way.

Well, I certainly don't want to go back to being your youth pastor, that's for sure! Thanks for taking me to Bunk and Powell's and letting me hang out with you and your lovely wife at Bagdad Cafe!
Thanks Brent! We had a blast with you. So good seeing you, so good.
