I had every intention of having a kick ass adventure and
life in Oregon
when I arrived here 8 years ago today,
but it’s not going as planned--
not for lack of trying.
my eyes were opened to the reality of Portland life:
my expectations.
Then I had to lower them
again.
Then I had to lower them
again.
Then,
reluctantly,
I had to lower them again.
Then I had to lower them
again.
Then,
reluctantly,
I had to lower them again.
Now I’m just going through the motions of working to save enough money to afford to escape every now and then,
or until I can find a job far away from here,
or working just to pay the rent and other bills until it’s my turn to die,
or until I can find a job far away from here,
or working just to pay the rent and other bills until it’s my turn to die,
or until I can afford to live out the rest of my days in
Paris.

Agape Love
it occurred to me recently that there are people that I love that are not deserving of my love.
i don't love them for their sake; i love them for my sake.
as a Christian,
i'm inclined to love everybody.
while nothing says i have to like them,
i do love them.
i don't love them for their sake; i love them for my sake.
as a Christian,
i'm inclined to love everybody.
while nothing says i have to like them,
i do love them.

You know....
"hey Alieux, you wanna go with me to farmer's market?" or,
"hey Alieux, there's a new sushi restaurant downtown. We should check it out ?" or,
"hey Alieux, you wanna get a drink after work?" or,
"hey Alieux, let's work out saturday morning." or,
"hey Alieux, what are you doing? You wanna meet up and get something to eat?" or,
"hey Alieux, are you free for lunch today ?" or,
"hey Alieux, let' go to the beach today." or,
"hey Alieux, it's ladies night at a bar downtown. why don't we check it out?" or,
....would be nice.
At least once.
Instead of me having to do

I’m in love with literature; the reading and the writing of it. I try to read and write for one or two hours every day. I only have one life to live, but in literature I can live a thousand lives.
