I know. It’s a terrible play on the whole “I see dead people” but I thought it was funny. So take it and shove it in your pipe and smoke it. Or something. Muah!
I’ve been back in Denver since Thursday. I’ve ventured out to explore my new neighborhood and I’ve found a countless Korean restaurants, Mexican food places and tons of fun lookin’ food places that I’ll need to sample over time. I’ve actually discovered that I live near a famous Denver eatery called Sam’s #3. This place has been featured in the Denver Post and The Rocky Mountain News along with the various media outlets here in the Mile High City. To say I’m required by law to visit this place soon is understating it.
I’ve lived in Denver more than twelve years and I’ve never actually gone out and explored this great city. That’s about to change. In my mind this is the greatest city in the world (sorry New York, don’t beat me up) and has so much to offer. I’ll chronicle my adventures here.
I’m all moved in and only lacking a dinner table. Everything else was free. I would like to thank Kim Taylor, Renee Papazian, Kevin Gregory and Heather D. for everything they managed to secure for me to have via donation. It was so amazing. Thank you! Pictures will be up as soon as my darn camera recharges.
I went to get my hair cut at the nearby Great Clips and walked in and almost chuckled. Inside were three stylists. One was a African American, another was Chinese and the other was of course Filipino. It was almost the opening lines to some terrible joke. I was sat down in the chair of Conchita (a Spanish name oddly enough) and started talking.
Come to find out she grew up near Clarke (Pampangas I hope I spelled it right) which is about two to three hours away from where I worked in Quezon City (shout out to the agents in QC! AYOS!). We soon were talking about the country and when she left (1983) and why she left the country (She married a military man. I didn’t ask if that was still on. Another topic for another time). Anyway it was amazing to find a Filipino in the midst of all that’s been going on in the past few days with the move in and it reminded me that where I live is literally multicultural central. I’ve got Hispanics, Koreans, African Americans, Filipinos, Chinese and then there’s the Caucasians.
I’m excited about the future here in Denver/Aurora. Good things coming.
Oh and the Academy Awards are tonight. Another show I’ll watch until someone mentions politics. Then I’m calling somebody. I don’t know who, but I’m calling someone. So watch it Academy Awards. I’ve got my eyes on you.
