Building Shadows: Prom wasn't good the First three times.

http://buildingshadows.blogspot.com/2007/03/prom-wasnt-good-first-three-times.html

All this time. lingers, undefined. Monday, March 26, 2007. Prom wasn't good the First three times. I just convinced three people to drive 680.28 miles for no good reason to a city I hate. On a moments notice. This field trip is 'one upped' only by the summer road trip of 2005, wherein, Ryan Jacob, Marisa and Farret. Drove 1,298.78 miles to pick me up from San Francisco. But San Francisco is fun, and at least they had two weeks to plan that trip. I'm at the bus station waiting for the hippy. I listen to h...

Building Shadows: I'm not going to name this one after a jawbreaker song, even though I should.

http://buildingshadows.blogspot.com/2007/03/im-not-going-to-name-this-one-after.html

All this time. lingers, undefined. Wednesday, March 7, 2007. I'm not going to name this one after a jawbreaker song, even though I should. Everything is perfect, we get along, I like her - she likes me. Apparently therein lies the problem.". I sit with Brian in Chatman park, above the city, contemplating the ongoing estrogen saga that has been doing an dancing around him for the last few weeks. I think it's easier to be in a relationship you can see the end of.". That makes total sense.".

Building Shadows: Bi-costal: bike hard, travel light.

http://buildingshadows.blogspot.com/2007/02/bi-costal-bike-hard-travel-light.html

All this time. lingers, undefined. Sunday, February 25, 2007. Bi-costal: bike hard, travel light. Instead of going upstairs and packing my room, I'm listening to the weakerthans and trying desperately to write something that sums me up right now, or something meaningful, something that doesn't have anything to do with boys, and something that will get out everything I feel. I don't think any of that is going to happen right now, so you might want to skip this one. But Portland does have Stumptown. Http:/...

Building Shadows: Worst Week as a Messenger

http://buildingshadows.blogspot.com/2007/10/worst-day-week-as-messenger.html

All this time. lingers, undefined. Saturday, October 13, 2007. Worst Week as a Messenger. I had just started a new job in New York. Not only was I intimidated because it's a good company and I was damn lucky to have the job, I was also working with some couriers that I really respect, and I was anxious about pulling my weight. Something bad -something fucking terrible- happened. Cass pick it up." Ricky's voice was patchy over the radio. Sorry I'm at 1501 Broadway.". His voice was strained. These manifest...

Building Shadows: There and back again: Portland.

http://buildingshadows.blogspot.com/2007/03/there-and-back-again-portland.html

All this time. lingers, undefined. Monday, March 5, 2007. There and back again: Portland. Trevor walked me to 30th street station at five after five. I was less than thrilled to be getting on a plane still drunk at that hour, but it was a free plane ticket so I couldn't really complain. The walk was quiet and short and before i knew it, a large conductor woke me up for my ticket. Oh yeah, you have to pay. I woke up next to two women on their way to Cabo. Middle aged women. Who are drinking and pr...Stari...

Building Shadows: This is Fam.

http://buildingshadows.blogspot.com/2007/05/four-or-five-years-ago-i-rolled-up-to.html

All this time. lingers, undefined. Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Four or five years ago I rolled up to a dark party in Portland and saw my friend Alex. We weren't messengers then, and we sure weren't living in New York. We were just young punk kids who were trying to make it into the upper rungs of Portland hipster bike culture (alex being slightly more sucessful than me at the time). I was so excited,"Look what I just got! I showed him my new bike: it was gold road bike, and everything had just been tuned.

Building Shadows: What the fuck is a Mummer?

http://buildingshadows.blogspot.com/2007/01/any-other-day-of-year-these-guys-would.html

All this time. lingers, undefined. Sunday, January 7, 2007. What the fuck is a Mummer? Any other day of the year, these guys would call me or you a fag. After running off to piss, Donovan returned, with flailing arms. "You'll never guess what I just saw! A TEN year old came running full speed down Broad with two full beers in his hands! The cops stoped him and were like, 'Whoa son, what's going on here? I love his parade! And that pretty much summed up the entire scene on Broad for the entire day. Holy S...
