By Walking

it was a glorious rainy sunday
filled with continuous conversation.
diner dwelling over coffee.
bookstores, thrift shops, tea, and umbrellas.
plus, a little pleasant surprise under my toes.

Spinning

Wanderlust

There's no more Need.
Now it's Must.

Live without regret

"Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book and remembering— because you can’t take it all in at once." —Audrey Hepburn

Tarmac & Yuccas

Tuesday Mood

The Focal Point

A brilliance beyond the vanishing point.

Daily Barista

My walk to work, with the rising sun.

Spinning

Matt just sent me this video along with a fun fact...
I had no idea that Creed Bratton (in the stripped shirt) was in this band.

On Rediscovering

Somewhere in the shuffle,
I've lost excitement, passion, youth...
Self.

It sounds horribly drab,
but sometimes the Truth is.

All in Good Time

Accept Life Unconditionally

'Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.'

This Very Moment

January 17, 2011 - 4:40 in the pm

Mental Note

'Sometimes, it is necessary to look back and see how far you have come and the decisions that you have made, if only in order to reassure yourself that you are still going somewhere and that it will somehow turn into something worthwhile.'

Love Monday

Wanderlust

The Kings Speech

Go see this Film, NOW!
Absolutely Brilliant and Stunning.

On Heavy Rotation

Her entire album 'Colour Green' has been spinning mighty steady around these parts.
'The songs that went on to make up her album Colour Green were home reel-to-reel tape recordings Baier had made in Germany between 1970 and 1973. '

Shards of Life

This is me content,
after a much overdue visit to the Getty Museum.

Marnin'

I must gather and nurture any spark of light and energy.

(hope this isn't just the Coffee speaking)

Dear Diary,

It's time to go abroad.

Daily Barista

She's ancient, manual, finicky, and unpredictable;
but that's the way I like'em.
On a steady day, I'll make around 55 drinks in one shift.
(thanks to Sleeve count)
If it's a Sunday... we'll hit 100.

Morning Battle

8:30am.
Urban apartment dwelling.
Windows to Windows.
This morning, Window East is
blasting awful hiphop.
Bass buzzing the walls.

So, I blast my NPR.

For Self

“A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.”
- Paulo Coelho

fuck danger.

To Gloat

New Years Eve was rather lovely,
from start to finish.
Matt and I found ourselves ringing in the New Year
at his ex-neighbors home.

Due to that circle, I welcomed 2011 with
Ms. Gillian Welch.
(shown above-on the left)
YES.
Her music has carried me through
some real heartachin' years.
I had to restrain myself from giving her an enormous
bear-hug.
To say the least,
I was 'musician struck'

P.S. She was wearing the most kick ass cowboy boots that evening,of course!
Droooool.

Welcome Back, Oldtimer

making lists.
back to work.

Fighting A Cold

Clouded.
