For a birthday I wasn’t planning on celebrating, a lot more people remembered it than I had expected. Thanks to everyone who remembered and helped make my 23rd (yuck) special! I really didn’t expect gifts especially since I don’t celebrate birthdays (mine or others) so everything was appreciated, from the random e-card to the nicest [...]
It’s that day when the date matches the numbers in my screenname… Weird.
Edward: “You don’t ever tell them what to do. You just let them fail on their own and then enjoy a nice chuckle with your buddies.”
Greg: “And this is the secret to your marriage…”
Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them - a mother’s approval, a father’s nod - are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart [...]
Oh how I wish…
As B once said in a past blog, I feel like my blog has a big fat scar on it. And the onset of early senility…
It would seem I’m pretty anal about certain things, especially my cars. Somehow people get the assumption I don’t take care of my cars, just cuz I push the BMW hard and my truck is usually in a messy state cuz of my dad. On the contrary, my driving is unrelated to how much I [...]
Workin on a Sat as beautiful as this one. This should be a crime.
geography’s a bitch
Isn’t it interesting how eating is a communal experience. It’s not because it’s easier for two people to talk when there’s food, or pastries, or a cup of coffee in front of them. It’s not because you need an excuse to get together since eating is something we all do at one point or another. [...]
Sometimes you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. And then the bed tips over and crushes you. Just one of those days…

Going wine tasting up in California’s Gold Coast this Saturday. Of course I’ll dropping by SB on the way to fill up on a Cantina burrito! Then picking up Natalie to hit up random wineries all day woohoo. Weather for driving should be gorgeous this weekend. You can make me pay fines and higher insurance [...]
This entry is dedicated to my loyal readers who actually take the effort to comment on my blog, and in a timely matter at that. Even those I don’t really talk to that often, like Mikey who I was reminded of this week cuz I downloaded Napoleon Dynamite remembering he recommended it. Of course this [...]
Shoplifting is a victimless crime, like punching someone in the dark.
Since I turned 16, I’ve driven around 300,000 miles in various cars with no tickets. In the last 10,000 miles, I’ve gotten 4 tickets with the BMW: 2 speeding, 1 for clear corners, and then tonight’s…
But tonight’s ticket is a real winner. Since the cop was in the faster lane I hopped into the lane [...]
So Lesley said something interesting today: “killin time until classtime.” The concept of having gaps of time with no tasks to occupy it with is almost baffling. Even in school I had no such luxury. There’s always something to do, isn’t there? Just an indication of how boring this place is…
Must get out. New York. [...]
Do you go for the cool one that you can show off to everyone and is really pretty, or do you get the reliable one that will treat you well? Then there are the ones that will do things that other ones won’t do…
Did this offend you? That wasn’t the purpose… but still [...]
The presidential inauguration is always a spectacle worth watching, whatever your views are. Some things fascinating, some amusing.
What a crazy weekend. For some reason I didn’t get much sleep Sat night So Sun at like 5pm I just passed out until midnight. Now I’ve been up, working on a few projects, and watching the 4 hour MLK documentary my TIVO grabbed for me. Should I just stay up until worktime? That [...]
