my disappointing night in san francisco.
of course, yes all of us sf natives have been there, at least i hope some agree… in search of some real inspiration on an evening of debauchery which has lead to, well, disappointment. without a single thought we all know the disappointment comes from nothing but high intellectual standards in this town. you can meet a some bright young lad who has the thoughtful ability to play the original...

feet connecting to pedal you feel like you’ve grown new limbs. an extension of your body almost like those anime characters who put themselves inside robot bodies. when you’re leaned all the way forward, feeling the wind in your face the curve of the metal handle bars almost creates this modern glass shelter for you to see into the distance. this moment in time you forget...

"Twixter"
A Time article from a few years back. I can relate.
“Jeffrey Arnett, a developmental psychologist at the University of Maryland, favors “emerging adulthood” to describe this new demographic group, and the term is the title of his new book on the subject. His theme is that the twixters are misunderstood. It’s too easy to write them off as overgrown children, he...

quarter life crisis.
“Something’s missing,” sings the great John Mayer on his album Heavier Things. It’s a song that more and more I continue to relate to. Back a few years ago, I was a fan of the track but more so because I loved the melodies and passion in it.
Things have changed in my more recent years. I feel I now know exactly what he’s talking about.

on aging and death.
i read about 35 pages of ‘the picture of dorian gray’ this afternoon and an interesting theme came up - aging.
aging. well, the thought of it hits close to my heart. i fear it immensely. just last month i experienced my grandfather pass away at 95. it’s touched my heart ever since and as weird and empty as i’ve felt lately, i think it’s due largely in part to the...

this year has been insane. i’m feeling exhausted from it all at the moment. it’s been my first year single since i was like 18 so i think that may have to do with it.
for a while i found myself with the urge to go out, party, meet new people so i was constantly doing that…in doing that i did meet plenty of new friends, women, but i’m still unhappy. i find myself...

Im at the oceanografico in valencia!!!
ive spent most of today in valencia. the city is absolutely gorgeous. but the first thing i wanted to do was step foot in the mediteranean. the day was not in any way hot or glamorous like that, but i still wanted to see the sea and feel the temperature. walking around after touching this sea, so full of history, my feet felt sort of tingly and happy to sense return to water. seven years ago...

¡zaragoza!

24 hours in madrid

Flying
Here we go…14 hours
getting late
this is kind of a stream of thoughts….i’m in my room ripping two of my favorite dvd’s so i can watch them on the plane on my iphone. miami vice and scarface - both highly entertaining movies. i’m pretty much packed and feeling slightly nervous - it’s going to be a long flight, leaving at 9am, sf time, arriving at 9am madrid time on an 14 hour flight.
