So I'm leaving to California for eight days. Hopping the train with Bianca. Down Central Valley to San Francisco, then following the coast until we hit Los Angeles. Every time I leave this city, I realize even more how much I want to stay here. It's not fear. Not mystery. I just feel like I need to be here. There is something in my gut that tells me this. Maybe not forever. And maybe it would be fun to travel. See different places. Meet people in different places. Experience experiences in different places. But it all adds up to Joe Mendonca and Portland, Oregon.
There is something almost shaking about going away. Exciting. Wondering what I will learn. Wondering what life will teach me.
I am trying so hard to do the right thing.
Life has unfolded small sentences, paragraphs. New chapters have opened, all at once. Other chapters are turning pages, just ahead. I am learning.
You have two options in life - Life or death. Sometimes I forget that. Sometimes I let the death take hold of me.
Living is about life. I want life.
To everyone - I should be back in Portland, March 31st or so. I will miss you all. You are loved and cherished. If you need to get ahold of me, I now have a cell phone:
(503) 869-0090
I am planning a dance party for May 8th. It's a Saturday night. I so want you there. Uh-huh. So please plan on it. It's at the new Solid State... Oh my, I love the new Solid State. It makes me happy. Been working a lot of shows there recently. Working on hopefully opening a cafe there. Also setting up an art gallery there. Anyone have anything they want up there? Also working on putting together a volunteer staff. Anyone interested? Pretty please let me know. Also talking about painting the place... Etc, etc, etc. It's in the old La Luna/Pine Street Theatre building.
Recording Thunderball Fist. I can't wait to show you.
Bianca, you are my best friend. Thank you for being there for me always.
God never fails us, only loves us.
Hugs & Kisses,
Joe Mendonca
