zachklein: When you live in NYC for too long, it’s common to forget what you originally came to do. I just got back from a weekend up in the Adirondacks — shingling the roof of this new shed, chopping wood to heat a sauna, playing soccer with a big group of friends — and it snuck up on me this morning upon waking up in Brooklyn, “Oh yeah, I came here to make $$$ so I could afford to live a peaceful life someplace naturally beautiful, where I can build sheds and play soccer all of the time.” Folks, this internet shit is really addicting. Let’s spend some more time thinking about why we do it. Yep, that’s why I do it from Portland.
