Los Angeles to Seattle and back...
I'm back home in Los Angeles.
I don't know when the next time I'll step foot on the beautiful soil of the Washington landscape again. I may try to go up there for another weekend next month but I can't go back I have responsibilities. This trip is costing me in school but I had to go home. Something very important brought me there at such an odd time. I'm trying to go to Hawaii in January and I'm not trying to keep asking for so many days off of work. I can't afford it anyway.
2008 is the year of travel for Tyree Sheppard. I'm planning on going to Hawaii in January. Hopefully during spring break I can go to New York City. In August I want to go to Rio or Egypt, and in September I'm trying to go to a Race Track In France. I just have to get my passport which I will be getting here shortly.
My trip to Seattle started off pretty weird. My flight was scheduled to depart from LAX to Sea-Tac International at 7:45 in the morning on Friday. I get off work at 4 am drive home park my car say goodbye to Qian then catch the bus to Sunset and Vermont so I can catch the Redline to Union Station. On my way into the subway station a reporter from the channel 6 news or some channel, I can't remember, stops and interviews me about people stealing rides on the subway. Me being the jewel that I am, I pretty much told her that I wouldn't know anything about that. As far as I'm concerned everyone I see in the terminal has paid and I'm not going to assume that they didn't pay. Even if they didn't pay their tax money paid for that Subway station and continues to pay for it to operate so as far as I'm concerned they're entitled to a free ride every once in awhile. That's assuming (something that I'm not willing to do but kinda just did) that some people ride the subway without paying.
Well I finish up the interview I catch the subway to Union Station and I lose my phone. My 300 dollar phone, gone! I was in disbelieve. I couldn't even get angry for some reason. I just didn't believe that I lost my phone. I usually don't lose things. I think I sat it down on the counter when I bought by Flyaway bus ticket to LAX. I'm going to miss that phone. Oh what memories we had. That was my second T-Mobile dash too. Fuck those phones.
Thanks to Anthony I had a phone waiting for me as soon as I landed.
My trip was fun, it was nice hanging out with friends. I miss that most of all about Seattle. My family and friends. I could just sit in the company of the people I love all day. It didn't matter what we were doing I still had fun. The weather sucked so fucking much. I missed the rain and when it first started raining while I was there I was kinda glad. I needed to experience that gloom and feel the rain fall on top of my head, but after I saw Noah's ark floating by and the rain wouldn't stop I got sick of it.
It snowed while I was there as well. That was pretty cool. It was the typical Seattle snow as I remember it. It would snow all day then at night it would rain and the streets would be clear in the morning.
I wish I could have stayed longer but I have responsibilities now. Man responsibility is the wackest thing on planet earth. I wish I could do whatever I wanted to do all day everyday. I'm just tired. Those three days weren't enough time for me to recover from three months of 18 hours or longer days. I need some more vacation time. Hopefully in 2008 I get to fly all over the world and experience things I never in my lifetime thought I would experience.
Keep on pushin'.
