Wilderness.

I would love to get away from the confines of society and escape into the wild. But, as with everything, Newton's Third Law applies: every action has an equal an opposite reaction. Escaping society, a positive action for myself, could harm my family, nature, or in the end defeat me. Therefore, I find that a balance must be achieved. Giving up nearly all necessary worldly possessions, hiking into the wilderness, and philosophizing about the human relationship with nature, good and evil, and the fruitless preservation and intentional release of ego into journals and songs until nirvana is achieved, and then hike out of the wild and reunite with my friends and family, and share this newly found wisdom with the rest of the world.

Seattle.

Seattle.

I chose Seattle because Seattle was the birthplace of grunge movement, the genre of music that originally inspired me to become a musician with its raw angst and aggression. My favorite coffee shop, Starbucks, has its roots in Seattle. Also, Jimi Hendrix, a great guitarist, was a Seatteite. Plus, the Space Needle.
