Portland People

I've been a little lazy about the blog lately. oops. I've got a Portland Person to share this week though. I hope you enjoy meeting my rad friend, James!

1) How long have you lived in Portland?
i have lived in portland for a year and a half. i currently live in southeast portland, close to reed college.

2) What fills up your days (or nights) in Portland? 
 what fills up my days is work, commuting, biking for funzies, hanging out with friends, watching movies, listening to music (usual do that and biking at the same time), when i have a chance to be a lazy bum i take it, daydreaming.

3) Where are some of your favorite place to go and things to do in Portland? 
i like going to various food carts like brunch box, i like thai food. whole foods, the ace hotel to eat my whole foods food and charge my phone an take naps, sweet here after, night light, prost, bar bar, and so many other bars. its portland...it would be impossible for me to break it down for you what places, how many, and what i do. i do so much in a day it all gets lost in the ether. i like sitting on the steps by baja fresh on 11th and burnside and people watch. especially on a friday or saturday night when all the drunk chicks spill out of aura. theres nothing like seeing drunk chicks fall down in public. pure gold. i love dancing. i like going to the goodfoot and 80s and 90s dance night at the crystal ballroom. i especially like going with my black friend jeff. he does a mean bill cosby.

oh and portland is making me fat. my days consist of stuffing my face every chance i get.

i also go to ground kontrol and get top score on ms. pacman. ok i think thats about it.

4) What are some different things about Portland that make it Portland?

just the whole hipster cliche and of course anything thats on portlandia. portlandia portrays portland so perfectly. and of course i am the "hipster" "fixster" cliche, and the icing on the cake is that i've been on portlandia. but hey...at least im not vegan. that would definitely be the final nail in my hipster coffin. omg...hipster coffins...i think i may be onto something. hmmmm...ill come back to that later

5) Do you plan on staying in Portland for a while?

i plan on staying in portland as long as God intends me to. id love to work at one of the prestigious coffee shops and become a famous fixed gear bike rider, but who knows. before any of that i want to be a professional christian. i should probably practice more...im a little rusty.

 And here is a link to the scene from the Portlandia episode that James was in. He is wearing a plaid shirt and playing the pipe whistle thing.  This is one of my favorite scenes!
