17:55 thinking about suburbs

An older man - worn, weathered, with dirty clothes, perhaps working class, sitting next to me in this starbucks is flipping between some sort of RTS game and a series of apple notes titled "ideas/inventions". I hope he makes it big.

having to walk twenty minutes to bethany village - the nearest shopping center with people to my family's home in Portland - is miserable. I miss Allston; I miss a city where anything is fifteen minutes away by bike, and a little further by bus. Berlin was perfect, Stockholm was almost there. I can't wait to be back and walk in a liveable city. Taking so much time to get everywhere deters me from going out and doing anything - and that sucks the life out of me!
