Seattle

So I'm currently at the HUGE public library that is in Seattle. It's got escalators. Do you know how happy this makes me?! :)

Its the first cloudy day here, and I surprisingly don't really mind it. It's chilly, drizzly, and cloudy. All things I despise, but today, I'm fine with it.  Last night as I was exploring Fremont, I found my way down to the water. (As I tend to do.) There was a running/bicycle path there, that runs the length of Seattle, I've been told. As I strolled along the banks, I noticed a guy sitting on the edge, his bicycle parked by the tree. There was just something about him that made me want to say something, but, he didn't look up as I strolled by, so I kept walking.
I took some more pictures as I strolled, preparing for the travel blog that I will write this evening. As I made my way back the way I'd come, I sat on the edge of the canal a little way down from where the bike man was still sitting. After awhile of watching me write and take pictures, he made his way over to talk to me. We chatted about life and love. He has been with a girl for the last 7 years, but hasn't made the next step to marriage and children yet. He's yet standing on the fence. He has only horrible marriages to relate it to, and doesn't want to end up like his sister, divorced after a year. He, also, is uncertain of committing to just one girl for the rest of his life.  So, I told him my perspective.  1, don't be scared of change. 2, if you're not excited about it, don't do it. 3, it's shitty to not want to commit to a girl that you love- because there are other fish in the sea. There will always be other fish in the sea.  So, it's a choice.
I don't know. Why is this a thing? Every man  I know- same thing. Why have one, when you can play with them all? 


I met up with another guy for coffee this morning. It was probably one of the more intense dates I've ever been on. Too many questions! And the problem was, they should have been easy questions, favorites in music, concerts, movies, and tv shows. Traveling, life story stuff. But damn, I didn't have all the answers lined up. Favorite movie? Shit. I haven't seen a movie in months. TV show? Same deal- I hardly watch tv, ever!

The people around here kind of intimidate me. They're more athletic, more cultured, more earth centric. Probably because it's cool. But, it's city, so it's go go go all the time. Dude. Chill. hahaha. 
I still don't know where my place is. Tomorrow I'm going to go out to the coast again. Apparently there is a rain forest between here and there, and I feel like that needs to be examined also. As well as hot springs. :) Sounds like a solid plan to me anyhow.
