After spending the day working on my blog and book keeping and my website and blah, blah, blah... i decided to take a bike ride downtown to my car that was booted on friday by the lovely Metermaids of Missoula. For this I am sure i will catch plenty of shit for on monday by all the lovely AI students, since it has been there all weekend, that is a given. Along the way i passed by many many reasons why i love this town and will miss it so....
After crossing over the pedestrian bridge I almost ran into a couple of girls stumbling out of the Silver Dollar to have a cig. I passed the Depot and the James Bar that were still hoping after the Griz Homecoming. Pizza on the Fly had quite the line from all the late night munchers and the Ox was just starting to pick up for the evening or should i say early morning. As i passed by Ferquoi's (?) there was a very passionate girl enjoying her 4 ft. blow up penis on the corner, as we all know once you have made it to Ferquoi's you are in for the the long hall. As i continued on I watched a very drunk kid stumble across Higgins Ave while the light was green and cars honked at him because he was being a jackass. As i passed him i told him to "be careful" and he told me to "fuck off". Oh drunk people. Don't get me wrong it is not the bars that i will miss, it's the people. i have never felt more myself in a place and for some reason all those people i just saw for a moment reminded me of how great it is to be in a place where you can just be you, no matter what.
Thanks for listening to the ramble.

Well said, Keenan.
But, Keenan, where are you going??
That's one of the reasons I love Missoula too...the other is the incredible people I invariably leave behind when I head down I-90.
