Quigley Down Under

There are 4 things that are keeping me awake tonight

1. I gave a sweet made by me single speed bike as a gift ...now that person hates me .....do I ask for the bike back? It's a sweet bike.

2. My only person I have that I can confide in and spew my fears too is my mother. Which in itself isn't bad but I'm super sexually deprived and frustrated so that's a problem for me.

3. I'm scared I will fail in civilian life and not have a wonderful life that I so desperately want

4. I think that reading all this Kerouac has got me reenacting his life and his problems with finding and keeping a woman

Oh well Quigley Down Under just started.

Frog DNA and Fish Tacos

So I'm sitting in my apartment sweating mind you due to the fact that I'm on the 8th floor and well....heat rises. Anyways I had a craving for some Taco Del Mar down the block so I put my pants back on because walking around in boxers might not go over well in public and off I went. I took a second to say hello to Mt. Rainier and began my urban absorption of Pacific Ave. I love the city. I got to the store and I was greeted by a nice fellow with whom I placed my order with. That in itself isn't weird just the young woman at the table behind me was. She saw that I have tattoos running the length of the back of my arm. "OOOOH I bet that hurt!?" she says. Of course I made a quick assessment of her hotness level and kindly replied " Yeah it sure did!" I don't know what started it or if she was fucking with me but she began to fire all these odd facts and conspiracy theories at me. It was crazy !! She asked me if I was a member of the band called "Band of Horses" because I had a BoH tee on. She then told me she was stung by a bee once because she was wrestling a boy at school...then told me about a species of ant that seeks out human flesh to consume and not only that he talks to his other ant buddies and they plan then conduct "flesh raids" on villages ...somewhere in the world I didn't catch the name. I was so amazed by this yet freaked out at the same time I mean I couldn't wait for my fish tacos yet I kinda wanted them to take a little bit longer for fear of missing more of these revelations. The final factoid dropped on me was about a frog in I think North America that you can freeze completely in a block of ice Then you can thaw this frog out and he/she will still be alive due to there being a chemical in the frogs blood that keeps froggie from freezing. Now that in itself isn't the best part ..the best part is that governments are trying to harness this power and splice this chemical into human DNA so lets say astronauts won't freeze or they can be frozen for deep space travel. But what this young lady thinks is that whatever government or country harnesses this technology they can rule the world by somehow through more science freeze the continents they don't like and with this chemical injected into "ice troops" they can overthrow warmer people.

I got my taco to go and bid her a good evening. In hindsight she had very pretty eyes.

Is There Anyone Out There!?

Is there anyone out there that follows this blog ? If there is thank you. Also on a side note have a wonderful weekend! Its gorgeous here in the Pacific Northwest so enjoy it while you can. Tell someone that your thinking about them today and that you care about them. If your near her hug your mommy today....tell her that you love her as well. Go somewhere that overlooks something right before sunset and enjoy. It can be a building or a rock cliff or a treehouse ...use your imagination. Make someone breakfast tomorrow ...or at least coffee. Surprise your lover with a highschool makeout session in a car in the parking lot of the movies.....see where it goes.

Smile.

Find the song "Tennessee Whiskey" get it and listen to it...then go out buy some Tennessee whiskey and California wine and "sure have a good time!"

My City

I was inspired by a blog I'm following to post some pictures of Tacoma. I'm falling in love with this city.

These were taken in my neighborhood

Views from my awesome as hell apartment.

Thanks for the inspiration Ms. Jensen

What are you doing!?

You know what I like and crave relationships. I love to talk and entertain people meet new people and such. But for some reason I haven't been doing this for awhile. I would sit in my apartment alone and think "I can't go out and sit by myself ....I'll be that creepy bicycle guy in the corner". You know something.... even though I'm a guy its hard being alone and not having someone in your life on a regular basis. I need that.... we all do ...its nature versus nurture baby and I want some nurturing sucka!

I know I know your thinking Jesus man all your blog entries are sad and boohoo ...well I say no more! I live in an awesome, gritty, beautiful city and I'm going to take advantage of it. Thursday night movies at the raddest joint called the Red Hot ?! Heck yeah! (bartender bought my beers! I love girls with tattoos!) I'm going to start showing you the American dream from a bikers point of view ..from an urbanveloists' point of view. I'm going to share with you my everything like always. Case in point I'm still alone and without friends due to there jobs that take them to foreign places and such but I'm making new ones. I'm still without love in my life ..pure love the kind that makes you gooey inside and warm with want and feelings of being wanted...updates to come with that as well.

So in closing my travelers I will share with you this: I need to treat my life like a drug .....become addicted to this drug ...grow it then peddle my drug on the grit city streets to get others addicted to it.

P.S. Tall Girl why can't we be friends again?!
