Montage
I remember back in 2008 I was commuting home on the train when I envisioned travel montage on a New Zealand or Australian adventure set to the song I was hearing on my iPod. As my train speed through the various cities en route to San Francisco, I pretended I was watching a foreign landscape zoom by. The daydream awakened the wanderlust in me and ( Read more... ) -
Disconnect
As another year managed to slip past us in a blink, I find myself yet again tabulating all that I didnt get to. That in it of itself isnt necessarily a bad thing, but when you start to think of the reasons why you didnt get to it is where that becomes a bit depressing. Some stuff I wanted to do didnt happen for completely legitimate reasons or ( Read more... ) -
Yesterday’s Land of Tomorrow

There is no doubt that mitigating the American automobile centric lifestyle will be anything short of a challenge. I can spend all day restating the rhetoric that has been written in countless times regarding the ill effects of such, but at the moment I’m amused by all the great ( Read more... ) -
Incongruent Discrepancies
In lieu of writing something a bit more substantial (which I'm hot on the heals of doing so), I wanted to share something that didn't exactly fit in a tweet, nor felt that my Facebook followers would gloss over and/or wouldn't necessarily appreciate. Not that I'm expecting that here either, but I wanted to put it somewhere I could see it again. ( Read more... ) -
The Problems of Being An Adult
I recently read a blog post entitled "Why I'll Never Be An Adult" where the author discussed (as well as illustrated quite creatively) her inability to sustain the capacity for meeting the responsibilities of an adult ( Read more... ) -
Diamonds on The Soles of Her Shoes: A Year With Clipper
It's hard for me to comprehend that its been over a year since the pup arrived in my home. Even just glancing over my shoulder right now to witness her slumber after covertly jumping on my bed without arousing my attention, it still seems like it was just yesterday I placed her little body up there to pass out. But thirteen months and eighteen ( Read more... ) -
One Step Up, Two Steps Back
I'd like to believe I live a life of not having regrets. I mean, that's what advice is universally dispensed by all in order to live for the moment. Or we're told to learn from your mistakes and move forward, because there is no going back. I could rant off a ton of other clich lines that we hand off to one another like tissues in a box, but I'm ( Read more... ) -
Rock Stars

It was like the red carpet scene at a Hollywood premiere. People cheering as the guests of honor arrived to take their place at the table. Strutting in together with flashes bulbs blinding the room as they take their seat. You might ask yourself who are these people, and is this ( Read more... ) -
Nouns & Verbs Filling Gaps Again
In lieu of writing something more interesting (which I have lists upon lists of topics to write if I just ever get around to it), I'm going to just let me brain rant off a few random thoughts of the now ( Read more... ) -
28 Days Later
Being quite the geography nerd growing up, I always found it fascinating and curious of what drew people to these other landmasses around the globe in my bedroom. In junior high, I started to have a fascination with two significant landmasses in the south Pacific. I just found it hard to wrap my head around the idea that those places were inhabited ( Read more... )
