random post

its been a long time and i've been thinking about jumpsiding this blog! with all the connectivity there is now iPads, laptops, iphones you think it would be easy. then there are all the social networking real life and online when does one find time to blog about random stuff? do people even read blogs anymore? i guess they have to be linked to something else like facebook or google plus!

well here's my random post. cutest baby in the world! just looking at him makes me smile! how can your day not be brighten with this photo.. just look at those little teeth!

then there's the random photo of my desk. i realized wowsers ive got a lot of screens going on here. control center for all the brain work going on. and yes. that's a game on the left screen- what? it has great background music! uh huh.... lastly this little car just looks cool and i may be able to fit two of these in my garage. can you imagine me zipping around in this little thing. first saw it in spain. then in london. cool! they are showing up around town and saw a few in SF last week. gotta go test drive one soon! Fiat 500!


this concludes the once every 6 month blog about randomness. see you in march... or sooner!

2 years in the making

wow its been a long time .. probably almost 2 years exactly! here's my dessert creation that i made for 2/14/2011

i'm not a collector

so i was hanging out in utah trying to figure out what to take home as a souvenir. we wandered around searching for gifts for people and for ourselves. i just couldn't think of anything i needed or wanted (same problem during christmas or other gift bearing activities). im not much of a cute trinket person, not a shot glass person, not into the tshirts anymore, no need for mugs ... i was thinking of any collections i had that i could contribute to to remember the different places or events or travels and none came to mind. then i saw this and i really wanted it and it fit in.

Bowling Pin Buster!

this deserved a double post- xanga and blogger!

back in the day of DNA, i bowled in the company bowling league. during that time i switched from a straight ball to one with spin. it served me well as i ended up winning my first ever trophy! well i broke my first nice bowling ball- it cracked like an equator. i just found it in the closet like that. after 2+ years of bowling ball distress using my straight ball i got from my dad in 10th grade, i took my bday and xmas gift money and bought myself my new bowling ball.


today my brother and i bonded over bowling. seems like we do this pretty well. who would have thought. we are a bowling kinda family. well here were the results of game 3. i bowled my best game EVER!


the other day i was bored and took a bunch of pics of myself.. again here's one where i think i look pretty silly.


yay!

Or you could just walk away.

Someone falls to pieces, sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain, spinning in the silence
To finally drift away

Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard and catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen, white roses on a grave

Yeah and to be yourself is all that you can do
Hey, to be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself, down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time
Another runs away, separate or united, healthy or insane

And to be yourself is all that you can do, yeah
(All that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do
(All that you can do)

To be yourself is all that you can do
(All that you can do)
Hey, be yourself is all that you can do

Even when you've paid enough
Been pulled apart or been held up
Every single memory of the good or bad
Faces of luck

Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do, yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do

Oh, to be yourself is all that you can do
(All that you can do)
Hey, to be yourself is all that you can do
(All that you can do)

To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do


Hear it and see it --> Audioslave, Be Yourself

Up at 7:00 am on Sunday

the internal clock has kicked in again.
i am on facebook at 7:30 am
listening to loud music to wake the neighbors
taking pictures and posting posts
good (or bad) thing for you.


these are the usual suspect wedding party photo of my water bottles. in efforts to save the world i've decided to wean myself off water bottle cases and just brita my water. also with the advice of a certain ex, i've also moved to stainless steel canteens. since i've been playing tennis so often i go through water faster. i'm constantly refilling. the plastic bottles are for making ice to keep my water cold. ive also purchased a few bike water bottles so i can transport in my bike cage. fun stuff that i do in the morning when im bored.



oh yeah and then there's the photos i finally d/l to my computer. one day i wanted to take pics of myself in the mirror. here's a sample of what i got.

open your car door and smell the freshness.

imagine...
its the early morning just like any other day in sf bay area.
sunny, cool and crisp.
you are making that last turn into the parking lot where you
have worked for the last 5+ years.
you park, you grab your bag
you step out of your car only to smell that distinctive smell
its surprisingly comforting and oh so familiar over the years.
and it smells so good you just crave it for your next meal.

ahhh donuts!

after all this time i finally saw these donuts in the store.
so i had to buy them.

and yes the box was opened i had to sneak a donut hole in before
taking that snap shot.
