I live in Chicago but I love the Pacific Northwest. I worked/lived in Alaska the summer of 2008 and you can find many pictures from my journey there if you start at the beginning of this blog. I'm returning for the rest of the summer of 2009. I enjoy music, cycling, photography and being slightly boy crazy. especially ones that look like bike messengers. My name is Jason but I go by many names. Say 'hi' at skylitup at gmail dot com
another September, another homecoming to Chicago. You know I meant to keep up with this while I was in Alaska but what happened was that when I started CalloftheWild the first time I came to Alaska, it was new and unique and I was amazed everytime I saw something. This year it was like a different kind of homecoming but back to Alaska. It wasn’t new and amazing and seemed weird posting the same stuff to this Tumblr although the things I saw were just as new and unique. In fact I saw more things this time it seemed and the weather was better. Alas, it didn’t seem right and I didn’t keep up with it. Besides, it seems people on Tumblr are into hipster fashion pictures or something they’ve found on the internet that we’ve all seen a billion times and shitty and sometimes offensive jokes (i.e. TheDuty). Don’t get me wrong, there are some people I like to see on Tumblr. What I enjoy seeing on Tumblr are unique posts or people who take their own photography or travel or are reporting from an event like a music festival
I’ve done pretty good keeping up with stuff on Facebook but that is because there are people I actually know on there and don’t have to convince.
Anyway, this isn’t a farewell to Tumblr, I may start posting again someday but this is alas why Alaska blog didn’t happen again this year.
I’m leaving for Anchorage in 4 hours and then off to Seattle for a week to see some gays and saturate myself in some culture again and then back to a wonderful homecoming to Chicago. Miss it.
i’m back!
