Been sketching daily since the new year hit. I hate resolutions, but in this case I think it wasn't a proclamation I made and just started doing it (but there was foresight.) I'm glad I've done it because I've felt a good creative vibe lately. I also think it might have to do with the beginner yoga I've been doing: to stretch my body and also focus on habit and balance. I don't know - but my

Let's preface this:1) I think guns are stupid. I'm one of the hippies that cringes when kids are playing with toy guns - even the Nerf ones (that are admittedly super fun to play with.)2) I am a Gilbert fan, so this might be a bit biased.3) I believe that the NBA and the Wizards have the right to punish him however they feel is necessary (suspensions, voided contract, etc.)4) I also understand

Today, I'm wearing this Threadless shirt that used to be super baggy (XL). Since then, and a few washes since, it has shrunk. Not a problem being an XL shirt, but it's fitting weirdly on me. I've been exercising regularly over the past 3 weeks and eating vastly less than usual on most days (with obvious gorging days on Christmas Eve, Christmas, the day after Christmas, and New Years). Other

... that I'm 31. 3 decades plus 1. It's a trip. I have reminders that I'm old-er, although I can't really say I'm old. I don't feel old. My body's weaker at some points, my emotional maturity is evolved, but I'm not old in the negative connotation. (But why is getting older bad? Not sure. I'm just not there.)I think I read a retweet somewhere that said something to the effect: Why complain

Written in April 2005I was whispering to myself and sort of to my friend next to me during a later inning of the A’s – Angels game on Friday night for Charles Thomas to just get a hit, “Scutaro will get you home, I promise.” Unfortunately, Marco didn’t get a chance to do that because Thomas couldn’t get on base. I was joking in a sense – making a promise I couldn’t keep, but I was serious also.

Initially, I was only going to count the best live experiences I’ve had watching sports this decade, but realized there were some moments, as you’ll see, that were far too impacting to leave out.1) Marco! Scutaro! Send the A’s to the next round! - 2006Hands down, this was the BEST experience I have ever had at a sporting event. The A’s, after squandering so many opportunities in the past to get

Two Mondays ago was a good day. I didn't even have to use my AK.I came from a weekend that involved a fun day trip to North and East and South Lake Tahoe with the gf. It involved a chicken ranchero burrito from Dos, crawfish, lack of planning, exploring some rocks and water, and swimming in non-swimsuit shorts. Good times. Sunday was a localized garlic festival to honor Gilroy. Good food,

Day three proceeds with how day two ended.And, we were off to see (walk) the city.First stop: Canal St. so I could buy a Fendi bag with a bad attitude. Jk. I wanted a hat - like my fake kangol or fangol, if you will. Didn't find any. But they had a bunch of.. newsboy type hats and found one quickly and only haggled for a second for them to drop the price from $12 to $10.Then, we ventured

Day two started off where day one ended: on the floor of Carlo's room. But the ceiling fan was off. It was a little chillier outside anyway.Before heading out to Manhattan, we had breakfast with Lola: eggs, corned beef, fried rice, and all the food from the night before and some pasta that dame out of nowhere it seemed. A table full of food. It's never a surprise: moreso a humorous and

Written while using wifi on a Bolt Bus bound for Boston. Day 3.DAY ONE:It's been a while since I've traveled to the NYC with intentions of staying for a while. Last year, I was supposed to go on my first baseball trip ever to watch the Mets, the Yankees, and the Phillies. Never happened. Got sick - 103 degree sick - and the whole trip and a bunch of money had to be scrapped.Before that, there

Finally - a beautiful Saturday with a mostly clean slate on the calendar. Unfortunately, the only parts of the calendar that were set were somber (a funeral and a visit at the hospital). Maybe it was fitting, since life doesn't just happen - and life is best lived with reflection and with simple indulgences of happiness.So. With that.. it was a beautiful Saturday.Saturday lunch happened at

Ladies, get ready to applaud a statement that's utterly common sensical to you and a bit of a redundancy:Men are immature.Do I need to explain more? Probably. Will I? Of course!On Sunday, I was at the Giants vs DBacks game and sitting a few seats from me was a middle-aged man who obviously LOVED his Giants baseball. Well, he loved the team, not so much the current brand of baseball he was

Prosemonkeyverse is dead as dead could be - going back a few months. Geez.Been spending some time reading the archives on supergaling and on livejournal. A bit of a trip, as usual.It feels weird to post nowadays without anything particularly interesting or poignant or relatively important to say, but I guess this isn't what this shit is for. Who reads this anyway?Waste. Of. Time.

It's 2009!!! Nothing new.Just wanted to post these thoughts from the Vegas trip in December.. Lots of coincidentals that weekend.. that basically reminded me that I was where I was supposed to be that weekend. Not sure why. Not sure why it's even an issue. I guess, maybe, I second guessed the purpose of being there that weekend once all the peeps started falling off the list and weren't able

The strange coincidences started to fade away.. that.. or I haven't been paying as much attention lately. Work's been getting busier and with the Election and Nanowrimo converging at the same time, life's been more of an afterthought.Maybe October was just - self-indulgence month. Food, beer, psuedo-drama, hopeful things, and whatnot. That meant understanding myself and the world around me

Funny the songs we use to get over people.. here we go. In the vain of the stages of grief or something.. (This is more of my younger self.. but I thought it was funny what I've used to "get over people").Stage 1: Denial.The denial here is that she doesn't mean anything to me and that it's lighthearted enough because.. I'm in denial that I don't like her all that much.Song: "You're Not the 1"

It's weird what our decisions lead us to.. in timing and subsequent things that unravel. More crazy energy.On Saturday, I went to Razelle's place to celebrate Nathan's 4th birthday. I bought him a reversible hoodie from Old Navy. I didn't get a gift receipt. I made a mental note that I'd tell Razelle that I had the receipt if she wanted to exchange it.Fast forward to today.

I didn't initially see a title or a post reflecting on that concept, but it totally makes sense. It does.For a while, I've had that concept of "peace by piece" in my mind as the governing theme of the next tattoo I would
