Turning over a new leaf.

Excitement. What has been lacking in my life? Excitement. I have had some fun in my life, true enough, but nothing to make the hair on my neck stand on end, nothing to literally give me goose bumps. Until now. I caught wind of a man coming to town. He was having some type of meeting in my step dad's basement.  A meeting about what? I did not know, but I decided to be a good sport, appease my stepfather, and see what this guy's meeting would be all about. As I took my seat with my stepfather's coworkers and friends the man entered. A few seconds into the meeting I thought to myself, "Nothing like this happens in Missoula, Montana. Nothing like this will ever happen in Missoula, Montana again." So right then and there I decided to follow him. The man. I do not know his name or frankly anything about him, except that what he has to say makes my neck hairs stand on end and his message gives me goosebumps. My parents were not impressed with my departure, but what do they know? So here I am. Portland, Oregon, our first stop. Tonight: our first meeting. I have a few hours to kill, I think I'll find a nice little pub, I could use a tall glass of beer.
