trips-a-plenty

Posted by prick

I leave in a few hours for New York. The Bronx, specifically. For those who aren’t up to date, I’m going with Veronica for her brother’s wedding. Should be a really fun time and since I have never been to New York, I am very excited. I plan on taking lots of pictures and try to get some good video, as well. We’re only staying until Sunday afternoon. That means we have to fit a lot of tourist crap into a short amount of time. Not taking any expectations, so I will be happy with whatever sampling of the city I get.

If I have internet at the hotel, I will try to post pictures. Otherwise, I won’t be able to post anything until I return from Burning Man, for which I will probably be leaving sometime early Monday morning. A good 12 hours of driving and getting water in Reno before I arrive in Black Rock City. I hope to arrive mid-afternoon, which will give me plenty of time for setting up my shade and tent.

Also, depending on internet access, I will try to post pictures to this blog. I know, I say that every year and it rarely happens. However, that is usually due to internet connectivity issues that are out of my control. So, don’t hate me if you get nothing.

Upon returning from BRC, I have a day recover and then it’s off to work at DreamHost! This has to be the most exciting part of this whole trek. This is the type of job I have been seeking for a long time. So, expect an update when I return and eventually, my Burning Man film!

See some of you on the Playa and see some of you when I return!

what’s up with me? the short answer is, a lot!

i resigned from my current job with one week notice. that day, i got a dream job at Dreamhost (pun intended). next day, my current boss hands me my severance and wishes me luck. that’s right, i don’t have to work out the remaining days! and i get paid to not work those days! so awesome.

so, i now have a week to get ready for a trip to new york immediately followed by my annual trip to burning man. this will be my first time in new york and my 8th time on the playa. the trip to NY is for Veronica’s brother’s wedding, which i am very excited for. a true irish wedding is just what i need.

then, it’s on to burning man with about 20 other people. that’s way more people than i’ve ever gone with, so it’s bound to be a very interesting week.

many a post will follow as this week progresses and probably some posts from the playa!

wheee!

You’re a weapon of devotion
Keep the faithful entertained
You’re a lover of attention
Found a way to pawn the soul
Disposition may be fetching
But the world moves on and leaves you far behind
I hear you, I hear you, whispering such gorgeous stories
I see you, I see you, trying to break free
You liar, you liar, you can’t live the dreams you’re spinning
You liar, love to be deceived
You’re falling, you’re falling, falling from your god-like distance
You’re fashion, just fashion, fashion doesn’t keep
You’re sour, so sour, all is hope and trust is misplaced
You’re sour, now you are alone
Walking on fire, feel the way the world’s inclining
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me
My son says, dear father, what did you do when the world turned over
Keep spinning, keep spinning, send us off to sleep
You liar, you liar, all your words are just dust in moonshine
You liar, love to be deceived
Walking on fire, found a place away from humans
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me

— James, “P.S.”
