I love it when strangers wave @ me from a distance on the street.
Usually when this happens, I say 'hi' as we near each other - and they look @ me like I'm crazy and start talking to the person walking directly over my shoulder.
Good times.
So yep...I'm turning the dirty thirty in a few weeks, gang - 30! Me! I know -- it's not some big milestone when you actually sit and think about it, but when you consider I moved to San Francisco at the tender age of 22 it's something to take note of...especially with the way this town works with people always coming and going. Looking back, I'd say I did a majority of my 'growing up' living here and as a result I'm actually pretty excited to put my 20's square in my rear view. They've been packed with pretty much every emotion you can find in a good/bad Danielle Steele softcover on your mom's nightstand and although I don't expect my 30's will be all that much different, it's a new beginning of sorts.
This coming weekend I'm flying to Hawaii to ring in the festivities with the ever elusive Miss K, and when I get my feet back on the mainland I intend to do some real hard thinking as to what lies ahead for me. For a while now I've been talking about returning to Europe - notably to Poland (family stuff), Ireland, and Italy - and the thought of subletting my room out here and taking some time off to recharge my batteries sounds like a real good starting point. I've kinda been burning the candle @ both ends for the better part of 18 months now, and I could use a good long break to clear my head. I recently spoke with my friend Ilena who lives in Italy and she's expecting her first child in a few months - so I've got at least one place I can crash when I get my bearings straight. At the very least, there's always couchsurfing.com.
I'm not terribly worried. I'll figure it out. I'm excited. It's all on me these days and I'mma make it happen.
Mahalo.
