It's just me yo.
No, really. THIS is how I do it.
I think about a lot of random stuff and I like to write it down. I believe in a lot of things and I think an equal amount of stuff is total crap. I am a cynical optimist. I am real. I like synchronicity and idiosyncrasy. My brain works quickly, which does not guarantee accuracy but is not A.D.D. Usually my mouth works even more quickly. I thought being really tall and living in Asia was pretty cool; but I am super glad to be back in California now. I want to be happy, bendy and satisfied... Because really, who wouldn't?-

Irony or No?
I always loved how the spinner girls would get all feminazi about this song – like, “That’s RIGHT, the women ARE smarter…” Somehow, I think the whole premise of the song was like, yeah, that’s right, the women are the … Continue reading

It does take me back, and I cannot apologize for what is real…
Let me say, I am one of the first people to tell you I find emotional, nostalgic blogs (or any of that type of writing to be fair…) completely tedious, perhaps even gratuitous… So, you will have to forgive me … Continue reading

The eyes are the windows to the soul? I don’t think so… it’s your iPod.
