AND THE WONDER OF IT ALL

I embedded the song above for ambiance' sake (especially from minute marker 2:31 and on), so just click play and let the song wash over you like you're sleeping buried to your neck at the beach during low tide.

Driving home with my brother after spending an afternoon at Bin Bin Konjac just fooling around on the internets and with friends, I was coming home for a family dinner and Coldplay - Fix You was playing.  Right when we were a couple blocks away from home, the song was hitting its peak/bridge (2:31 & on), and there was just the most perfect post-rain sunset overlooking the hillside my street winds around.  It was breathtaking.  I quickly pulled the car over at the nearest side street, and we both trekked onto the hill, looking for the perfect shot.  Not sure I found it, and my noobzilla photog skills did not do the moment justice.  I hope you can somewhat enjoy it with me.  

Our God Reigns.

THROUGH THE RAIN

Been having some crazy times all up in LA.  Driving at zero visibility can be a little trying sometime, hitting huge floodspots cos of the notoriously poor irrigation in Los Angeles.  Today the rain let up and L.A. is truly most beautiful after a grip of rain.

The homeboys hit up Tommy's for lunch today.  The chili-cheese burgers here could stop your heart easy, and as I'm sitting here right now I'm nursing a dull stomach ache, but man, is the actual experience of it is so worth it.  Beyond measure.  If this is shaving away at my life, then kill me now.

Behold the ominous clouds.  Moar rain coming.

THESE ARE A FEW...

of my favorite things (at this given moment)!

It's a rainy Thursday off, so I'm home early and I decided to clean up my room a bit.  Moved my brother's TV out, stacked up some books I just got - throw out the old, make room for the new.

I finally put up Irving's Christmas gift.  He very obviously copied a Shepard Fairey piece (Guns and Roses), but this was impressive nonetheless.  (Kageto Kinoshita (Yakitate Japan!) anyone?)

My handy dandy Dunder Mifflin stress ball.  I found it gathering dust behind the TV.  I can't stop pouring on the praise for NBC's The Office.  Maybe you need to work in an office to understand.  Pure genius...most of the time.

I just picked up Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling at The Goodwill last weekend.  It's a very abused copy, but that's usually the sign of a good book and you really can't beat buying a book for 99 cents.  I didn't actually read this one the first time around, but the world Rowling creates is unparalleled.  Even Stephen King thinks so!

MULTI-DIMENSIONAL MANLINESS!

I was just casually perusing a video describing the extra dimensions, and a vectorized representation of my buddy Caleb (GDFHT) showed up.

HUBBA-HUBBA!

The Hub Cafe is as good a place as any to spend a lazy day off.
