THE HALF ORANGE

Fried delicious American comfort food and excellent beer, The Half Orange is tucked away right next to the Fruitvale Bart Station and should not be missed.

Like fancy cheese sticks.

STUDENT CHEF

It's amazing how far I've made it in life without learning basic cooking skills.  Thank goodness I moved in with Zoe, who is an amazing cook and teacher.  Thanks to her, cooking has become demystified and one day I may be making all of my dinners at home. Here are some picture of foods and stuff we've made:

Roasted Chicken

Pulled Pork Tacos with all the fixings

Sushi

ECLECTIVE ART FESTIVAL in PASADENA

Pasadena is new to both me and Andrew.  But there was a subway route straight from his apartment to the Eclectic Music Festival. Stores showcased a variety of art and live music on the streets were a plenty.  My camera died half way through the evening, so I didn't capture any of the music performances. But here's some pics anyway.

We stumbled upon the BEST dvd rental store ever.  They organize their movies by country, film director, and actor.

And then oyseters on the street.  What is life?!

KARMA'S BABY

Karma's Baby was born on the beaches of West India after Alexis and I consumed way too much fried fish and beer.  An accumulation of our thoughts, ideas, and stories will now be made into a podcast for all those willing to listen.  More to come soon. BOOMASTE.

CINDERELLA at SHN

My life is filled with beautiful, genius, warrior women.  I owe them everything.

Here's to more impossible things happening every day.

RAMBLINGS 05.06.16

She asked me what would be different this time.  I told her that I didn't know for sure.

But I do know what I feel, and this time feels different-- like a profound, fated encounter rather than a lucky perchance happening. Like our souls have done this before in different lifetimes.

I also know that I am able to love, accept, and commit to a person exactly how they are.  Fully, completely, and without reservation.  And I've learned not to accept a partner who won't do the same for me.

There is exactly the amount of time for the important things in my life.  I don't want to waste a precious second in fear or hate or apathy. Or regret.

I don't know what's going to happen. But I am yet to be broken and defeated. I have faith that everything will turn out as it was always meant to be.
