Ok... So Welcome. It's almost been a year since I last updated this thing. And now that I've read over my last couple of updates....

yeah, let's just start again, not from scratch, just lets start again.

I'm going to be updating this on a regular basis, whenever I can from now on. This is a place hopefully, maybe you'll check in once in awhile to see what's going on with Herb.

Given, there is going to be some mental ramblings that may or may not entertain you or even me posted here. And I'm a little nervous as to what I'm going to post, because I want to share my adventures, but not hurt those involved. So, we'll see.

Now to catch up most of you... the event/news that has prompted me to start updating this. I'm moving to Germany. If all goes well, I'll be moving the last week in September, around the 25th. I'm taking a job with my friend Chett on a US Army base in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

Why? It was a chance to see the world, get some new experiences. So until I move, this blog we'll have perspectives/reflections on the Minneapolis experience. And from there the moving over and German adventures.

So, stop back, sit back, have a read. Feel free to drop me a line at treefrogherb@yahoo.com.

somewhere between a house blend cup of coffee that has gone bad (the f'in blend, the coffee is still warm) and 9:58am I find myself trying to comteplete the future. i wait for the coffee to kick in, to destory the bliss of complete mind fog haze and motivate me for as least a couple of hours. somewhere i hear a voice - this is it, this is your life.

what really gets me, is the more i try to explain the tangles of life, the more they just are not there and i know that i am kidding myself. i know, or at least should admit to myself, that simple is better, just doing something is better than doing nothing, that complexity is overrated.

yet, i do feel, and always will, the need to take the road less taken and clear the brush from the path so others can try it themselves.

i'm so deep and full of bull shit.

or the coffee has just kicked in, and i'm thinking, yeah right whatever dude, get some work done.

she is cool to hang out with. i actually like just being around her. she is on my mind.

cruising the online ads, admiring other souls who are looking for someone and coming to a realization... are we really that lonely is this the new age we've been chasing all along. so far cube death has not set in, and realitvily happy being broke. this new reveloution on the new age isn't what it's been cracked up to be. and it's that not that enlighment came with a price, we accpeted that. it was the supposed benfits that got our panties in a bunch for some new found unexplainbale happiness. was it that nobody mentioned that enlightment is just realizing what you knew all along and confincing yourself you feel better because of it.... (oh, the pessmistic attitude) once again it boils down to a less then medicore sex life.

either way, i'm still disappointed. well, not disappointed. i just know what's next. another adventure. and this time i don't have a choice, i either will travel the adventure path or stray, trip and fall into mindless new age discovery void. and you think you have troubles. try to balance a life where the blocks fit together just how your parents imgained and a life where you see so many stars at night that it's a bright day.

and now i feel like i need to do something about it. oh, the motivation, oh the metal fingers inside my body.
