(many don't know Sasquatch to be a romantic)
The Emerald City isn't just the fictional city in the magical land of Oz, it's also the name given to Seattle. Yeah. Like this city, everyone's trying to get to it looking for a brain, a heart, and some courage and, THERES ONE ROAD TO GET THERE! At least in the movie they had gold to walk on. The gold in Seattle is reserved for the few in Medina who celebrate the 90's with their neighborhood block parties.
"It was all a dream I used to read Seattle Weekly Magazine!!"
Do you think if they change the name of the Space Needle to just 'the Needle' more Seattle residents would try it out?
I've never been on top of the SPACE needle, but I did get higher then it when I stepped out of my apartment this morning. Yeah, a sweet couple with a five month baby just moved here from Denver. The baby loves her vitamins T H and C.
Seattle of course built the Space Needle when they hosted the World's Fair. Constructed in 1962 it represented the future. Moving forward, from then on residents in cities, because of it's creation would beem, "Why is this still here? What is this?"
Seattle of course built the Space Needle in 1962 to represent the future. Sure, African-Americans couldn't be guaranteed the right to vote yet at the time, but hey, it represents the future! I mean the present.
Americans can be very unconnected from each other as they ride in their cars, oblivious and mad at strangers. That's why I love Seattle. It's like Europe in that everyone, Everyone rides bikes! It's a progressive city. Even the cops of Seattle have caught on. Yeah, no longer in their cars they've really embraced the community policing and beating the shit out of the residents as they pedal their 10 speed.. Yeah. Warms my heart they're making contact. Even if it's not eye contact. ::SIGH:: I love it here.
Seattle, like many cities in America is experiencing a homeless problem. The homeless actually have a problem, but we're so lucky to have the problem you know? They have an encampment, an encampment called "THE JUNGLE" Ohhhhh. Can Axl Rose take me here?!?!
And I love getting the real facts from the residents.
"Look, I'm as progressive as they come but they need to help themselves and it's kind of ruining our community and....."
I understand their woes. It must be so hard for them to drive their car to their job over their encampment on the I-5. They get out of work ::crying:: back to their....I'm sorry.....HOME..... They look down. ::Sighs:: We do have it rough.
Seattle has a cool hip free magazine called The Stranger to let you know what's up in the city. I feel like the Stranger in many ways. I'm not from here. I have no friends. People read me and laugh, and I'm often found in garbage cans and the streets.
Seattle is lucky to have it's first ever socialist elected to city council, Kshama Sawant. We've made progress here. In fact, so much that her oponenets are ONLY hurling misogynistic insults and NOT, socialism=communism chants. Warms my heart. Of course they're wrong. Socialism DOES equal Communism. Much like the 64 Browns are the 99' Browns. And if you don't understand that joke. Congrats. You're not from Cleveland, Ohio.
I love local TV personality, King 5's Brad Goode and his segment "Goode For Business"
I don't like local TV personality, Goode's cousin Jeff Badd and his segment "Badd For Business"
Mostly because I don't understand, is he a conservative advocating business or is he a liberal calling out ones that are? It warms my heart that it's a very Seattle segment. Let's confuse you and make you figure it out!!!
Also, I can't read.
"And now a look at weather Jeff. Jeff what should we look for.........."
"Rain Brad. Rain. Rain. It's going to rain. Deal with it."
I moved here saw a psychiatrist and she said I had 'Seasonal defective disorder.' No, I know what season it is. It's the eternal winter of MY MIND! Can you give me a pill lady? And, and. you just met me 10 minutes ago?
She honest to God gave me lithium within 10 minutes of meeting her and mind you I wasn't crying or desperate (not yet) The only lithium I prescribe to is the song Kurt Cobain wrote and we all know how that worked out for him...........Yeah, his friends were in his head. I need mine on Facebook, thank you!
I have a friend who lives in Auburn and I live in Redmond. It's like I live in Seattle and he's stuck in Deleware. (sorry Nic).
No, he's a good man who's been through a lot in his life. It's like a University of Washington undergrad from Medina. This year. This year. Parents wouldn't pay for .....::Sigh::....the books.
How does a Medina teen talk to a Bellevue teen?
"Did I tell you? I was in Renton the other day brah. Dude, I heard Jimi Hendrix was buried there and guess what? We saw...we actually saw."
"What Big foot?"
"No a black person!"
"Get out!"
Actually Redman is interesting in that I don't see many red men. We do have diversity of people all over the world who work at Microsoft. A diverse group of people who have never driven a car before and understand the basic concept of what a car does.
But you know what I realized something. They have it right and I'm, like usual, dead wrong.
You see this entire area is beaituful and they just want to stop and check it out.
And I get it, I really get it.
Well I have at least 200 more I've written over my course of living here for five years. I know I know very little about this area as I live in my bubble.
The area is beautiful and I love it all.
This is Action Jackson reminding you to spread the love!!
And Can we bring back this show????? I want to write for it!!!!!!
HAVE A SEATTLE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
