One year in San Francisco

So this past week has been my 52nd week in San Francisco, 1 year as of June 6th. And how do I feel? Well I can’t believe it’s been a year, it doesn’t feel that long at all, but at the same time I know this place so well it’s like I’ve known it for years.

And if I’m being honest I’m quite looking forward to getting home. Quite a few of my friends have left to go back home already, so every day it’s getting harder to find people to do things with. By the time I leave there’ll be very few of my friends left so it gets quite lonely, but could be a good chance to meet new people. I’m most looking forward to going home to see old friends, family and lower monthly rent! Some days I feel like I definitely don’t want to leave, and others I miss things from home.

Speaking of friends, Cathryn and Ducky are coming to visit San Francisco this week. Will be nice to see them.

And just before I go, I’d like to make a mention of an awesome musician I came across a few months ago. His name is Goh Nakamura, he’s from SF and is an acoustic artist. I’ve had his songs stuck in my head for weeks now, so you should definitely check him out. This one song of his on Youtube (Embarcadero Blues) has over 1 million views. I would also recommend another song called El Camino which he recorded while busking. Finally, I absolutely love his cover of Just Like Heaven by The Cure. I’ve played it over an over, it’s great. He’s playing here soon so I think I will have to go see him and say hello.

    He sounds good.
    I switched my blog to wordpress by the way, in a vain attempt to use it more.
