“it’s not that I take things for granted. It’s just that, well, sometimes, things grow ordinary. And I don’t want things to only be essential and expected. I want things to be exciting and extraordinary.” And, what’s so wrong about that? So, I’ll bring my own excitement. have I already written that somewhere?
Category: my sunday best
i don’t wear it, but i post it. not always, but… i try to show off my sunday best when i remember
Sometimes i get all quote-y and stuff. When can I clock out?
“How the hell could a person enjoy being awakened at 6:30AM, by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to…
My Sunday Best shelved and suspended
What are we missing? And, why has it left? And what do you want? These are not words of love or hope. For clarity, it’s a question about the things that grow. And about the things that won’t grow. Anymore. We forget the right things and focus on the tedious and monotonous things. We focus on doing the things…
a sunday drive through a rainy paradise (VIDEO)
Driving at the speed limit, today. Not that it matters. So many palm trees in the cemetery. The dead must feel like they’re in paradise. But not today. Most days they’ll soak up the sun, and enjoy a cool breeze, or a balmy evening. But not today. Today, they’ll enjoy a cold chill with…
the dust never settles
And, I love these trails for what they are. I wonder if they feel the same? Hee. :)

My Sunday Best: ode to my coffee (with video)

i encouraged Alex to get up early. she hiked up Kill-Hill-2* mostly with her eyes closed. the sun was on our backs an behind some clouds. but, just as soon as it popped up completely, we felt the warmth and saw a ton of light! so, i asked her to turn around and see the sunrise….

My Sunday Best- sand in your face.
when all else fails … go into denial. claim insanity. lock your doors. roll your eyes. play dead. play deaf. scream. delete the data. all of it. now. or accidentally spill gasoline and accidentally light a match… change the rules. no hablo ingles. kick the first person you see. take a peaceful walk on the…

my sunday best: fruitsicles with the babies
hanging out in studio city, the valley with the babies. the babies are getting so big , they come out of the frame. once we got tired of doing nothing and/or swimming around we decided hot days call for ‘paletas’. so we went out to find some….hmmm… but they have a fancy name at this…
