I just deleted my MySpace account.  I don’t know why that felt so good to do, but it did.  With the advent of Facebook and the fact that I don’t live my entire life on the internet, I had stopped logging in to MySpace long ago.  Good bye, internet-ical tether.

Of course, I still have a Facebook account and there’s THIS page as well, but it’s funny how perspective changes with environment.  None of my friends in AK have ever heard of the internet, and they get along just fine.  They also go hiking, and play in boats on the water, and enjoy nature.  Which is not to say that my friends in SEA don’t do the same, but it’s slower here.  It’s like when I worked and lived on Vashon Island.  It’s just slower in some parts.

I could go out to the glacier (see previous post for photos) and sit down without a book, or a walkman, or anything around me at all, and be content to just sit back and watch the glacier just sit there.  And I have.

That’s all.  Digital vs analog.  Cyberspace vs innerspace.  Ones and zeroes vs earth and fire and water and air.  Virtual vs physical.

Carry on.

My brother and I went hiking around the Mendenhall Glacier last Thursday.  Here are some photos from that.  Some of them (maybe most of them) aren’t all that spectacular, but they are all icons from my youth, since I spent most days each summer riding my bike around there.  Anyway, please to enjoy…

We went disc golfing  a couple days ago.  I’d been golfing in Seattle before, but I’d never been to an 18-hole course, just the 9-hole ones.  Or, ONE.  You know how normal golf courses are nice and manicured, with beautiful views and all that?  Yeah…this is Alaska, folks, there will be none of that pansy shit.  In fact, this course was so overgrown and wild, I thought I was going to see Ewoks and Stormtroopers battling it out over a shield generator.  Whatever, it was a blast and we only lost 3 discs in the process.
