Weekend Review #1

Chin-chin.
Let's begin our weekend review.
I found out today that Chris Marker passed away on July 29th.  Apparently he was sending film stock to Patricio Guzman to make his epic documentary, The Battle of Chile, thinking PG was crazy, but wanting to help him nonetheless.  The bonfire he started will burn on.
Friday night was trivia night and was a major blast.  Jenny, Marie, Nick, and Dylan all showed and we had a blast.  It's my way of cutting loose and has become a big part of my weeknd.  ;)
I walked home with Dylan and we had a good talk about meditation.  Be here now.  Focus.  Feel your existence in the most complete way possible.  We didn't evolved to consciously think, we evolved to act from the heart, and modern society has put a cage around that.  It is important to return to the well and recharge that part of our being.
Saturday morning, a new friend and I drove to the Three Sisters Wilderness in the central cascades and hiked to the Matthieu lakes.  It was incredible.  We had originally planned to continue on to Four-in-one cone, but I woke up late and it just didn't work out.  The lakes were both incredible though.  Wow, so beautiful and so warm.  I am a bit sunburned.  We finished it off at Sushi Ya.
