Hehe I see the world in black and white now. And not 256 shades of gray. Just black… and white. Funny thing is I put my sunglasses on and it makes no difference. Ha, get it?
In my never ending need to share things that make me happy, I gave away the best CD of all [...]
Oh the beauty of sleeping in. For the first time in what’s felt like months, I slept an uninterrupted 10 hours. No phone calls, no noisy gardeners outside my window, no guitar-playing family members. Brain chemicals all in balance, it’s nice to feel sane again.
I’m psyching myself for the first long ride I’ve had in [...]
Rekindling an old flame is sometimes as painful as it is difficult. Finding your rhythms, rediscovering your feel and instincts, and the sheer amount of work are all challenges. Oh how I’ve missed biking. Sweat pouring in your eye until it stings and you’re glaring down the trail with just one good blurry eye.
And then [...]
Interesting song. Who says Good Charlotte has no depth? Oh so much angst!
If you can guess what google search led me to this tree, you know me too well
Everyday presents itself with surprises and challenges. My bike ride to the beach and back that once took me 18 minutes as a young whippersnapper is now taking me a frustrating 32 minutes. With a bike that’s [...]
I never stop marvelling at the beauty of these pictures. In the dusky evening sky while driving in the middle of nowhere, I caught a few shooting stars myself. I’ve also had the fortune of being in remote areas where you can really glimpse the night sky unadultered by city lights. That’s when you don’t [...]
sometimes i feel happy.
sometimes i feel blue.
sometimes all it takes is a picture
to finally get over… moo.
sometimes you feel like a nut.
So it’s been a rather testing summer. I failed most of those tests indeed. But things are wrapping themselves up nicely and it won’t be long before I’m far away from here and I [...]
Although I don’t lead the most literary lifestyle — I once read The Broker, by John Grisham, just to impress a girl — there are those moments of clarity when I can grasp at some meaning in something I come across. This isn’t the entire piece but it’s the part that caught my fancy.
Lord Alfred [...]
Just took the little one back to school to get settled into the hopefully quasi-permanent dwelling for the remainder of his undergraduate studies. We spent a day lazily driving up the coast, getting the same spectacular views that make California such a great place.
The trip was essentially a rebirth after a Friday of essentially debilitating [...]
So today, as we made some changes to our phone network, we somehow managed to direct all outbound voice traffic to one of our internal servers instead of the VoIP gateway. Incidentally, it was a test server whose sole purpose was to play a single wave file recorded in French. All business customers in our [...]
Don’t ask why…
The end of a nightmarish week. Why is it so hot today.
Jury duty is great. I can get work done on my laptop, yet not answer annoying phone calls because hey… I’m doing my civic duty. But who am I kidding, I’ll probably spend the day watching Long Way Round again.
I’m finally finding what only 4 hours of sleep a day for a week straight can actually do to you. It’s probably what led to an entire week of poor decisionmaking and huge chemical imbalance in my brain. Like a rubber band snapping back, at a time when I’m exhausted of every fathomable resource, I [...]
Working from home at all hours of the night will do that to you. Constant background TV… I caught an episode of Frasier that ended in a heartbreaking scene. Jump to 5:30 ish into this clip.
Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse, some fuckers stole my credit card info and used it to buy $1,700 worth of crap in Georgia. All my physical cards are accounted for so they must have skimmed my card somewhere to make their own. At least having credit card protection is nice… having a [...]
Back to finding my peace by flying down the open road on 2 wheels. I’m now going faster than ever before. The brand new slicks glide almost effortlessly over the pavement, all the while emitting a rhythmic hum. Once again there is freedom from thought and worries and heartaches; there is only wind.
The first time [...]
cymbals are my favorite
If this can cheer me up, it’ll brighten anyones day.
