The Coachella Sandwich


Congratulations to Jen and Bekket on the new pad!! It was a beautiful day in Silverlake, and there was only one floor of moving. Who could ask for a better situation than that. I scored a kick ass veggie sandwich, and ended the day with friends and 2 Newcastles. SALUD!!!

Blah day...

%&*(*&^*^%%^$##$@%&*)(&%#@!@#$%^&**!!!! To say the least. I drew a really bad picture of a man while i had lunch today. Have you ever tried that...? The thing is, you don't want them to see you looking at them (well at least i don't)and definitely not drawing a really bad picture of them. A thing like this could snow ball into a court case these days. Lunch was great...ever have sweet potato fries?? you should.

Machu Picchu, Peru











Now, i hope that everyone who accidentally falls upon this blog... that you...if nothing else, decide that Machu Picchu is a place where you MUST go to before you kick the bucket. My big sis Sunshine took me here. This was a defining moment in my life. Latin America as a whole is a phenomenal land. I read the Motorcycle Diaries years later, and it was such a sensation to re-visit these places through my memories. There is a picture that my sister took that is on my desk. It reminds me of great accomplishments and mysteries. Once you are up there, among the clouds of the ancient Inca.. you will under stand what i mean.

The Land of Burma






It has been almost two years since i have been to Burma, however it is a place that i think of on a daily bases. I have been so lucky to do and go, to as many places that i have been. I have always come back changed, with a new perception of life, and a handful of changes i feel that i must make to become a better person. I wish that more people could have the opportunities that i have had. I think there would be less bull $#%&, and greed in the world if more people saw what i have seen first hand. It is like an awakening, and your mind is so full of thoughts and questions, it is truly hard to bear.

~All I Know is... That I Know Nothing At All~

That is not meant to be a discouraging remark, more of a motivational one. With all that we experience...there are vast lands where few feet have traveled. Knowing that there is so much more to learn, helps me keep a balance, and in times of hardship, remembering the faces of Burma, keeps me focused on a better tomorrow.

Whittier Ride




This weekend my sister and i went on a ride. Destination the Sheltered Hand Thrift Store.(all proceeds go to support battered women's shelters) Whittier is a great place to ride. There are a number of bike lanes, and thus far zero attitude from angry drivers. We celebrated our finds with a Pacifico and some camarones tacos.Here are some pictures from our ride.

Dia de uno

I have just started...i hope that the on going pages are enjoyed. I have been told that i have a "weird life" things just seem to happen to me, or i seem to get myself into situations of great oddities...never the less..let the madness proceed, and i hope you can laugh, as i do, at all the bumps i hit "On the Road"!
