I've been spending more time reading graphic novels lately (this week I read Tillie Walden's Are You Listening? and Chris Ware's fantastic and daunting Building Stories ) and I want to expand my knowledge of these things! My existing favs are On A Sunbeam, Bone, Horimiya, I did like reading Naruto when I was in high school, but I'm super open to anything and kind of just want to get a handle on wh... » Continue Reading
Don't be afraid. Put your feet in the grass. Dirt is your friend! Get dirty. Hang out with the worms and bugs. They're not scary or weird they're our fellow creatures and Mother Nature guides all of us just the same way. Pick a berry and eat it right off the bush. » Continue Reading
I don't know any other Spurs fans and my soccer friends don't really care but I watch this team all the time, as it's my favorite, so I have built up a lot of thoughts about them and how they play and I have no one to share with and that's what the blog is forrrrr!!!

People are scared to code and don't understa... » Continue Reading

I've been spending more time on SpaceHey, MelonLand, and found some really cool adoptables/virtual world sites in Dragon Cave and PokeFarm. I want to fin... » Continue Reading
I've been thinking about amateurism, the concept of having a hobby where the endpoint is the hobby itself, and it's been making me really happy.

You know? Like for an athlete to be... » Continue Reading
I went to Disneyland and it was fucking awesome and I had so much fun and I paused vegetarianism to destroy a turkey leg with my girlfriend and it was so good and Space Mountain was my favorite ride » Continue Reading
Last year, I decided to watch the whole Twilight Saga series of movies with my family. Mixed feelings about the movies, they were by no means good, but the vibe was undeniable! Especially the first one, the look and the feel and the soundtrack were just so great even if the plot/dialogue/characters/acting weren't. I bonded with a good friend of mine over enjoying Twilight in a kind of self-aware w... » Continue Reading
