haha

I just had the most freaking stupid dream ever haha

I dreamed that I got a new roommate and he looked familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on who he was.

I was like "who are you? can't you just tell me your name?"
but he just looked at me, smiled, and said "guess."

and then I completely freaked out because I realized that he was Kobe Bryant. lol.

So after wards, I ran around telling all my friends stuff like "DUDE! GUESS WHO MY ROOMMATE IS!! KOBE BRYANT!!!!!" and "THIS IS SOOOO COOL! I CANT BELIEVE I'M ROOMING WITH KOBE BRYANT!!!"

crazy dream, but it felt so real! some day. maybe...

a great evening on an empty beach

.
The beach is a place rightfully cliched and loved. Every time I see it, there's nothing that needs to be said to announce the first glimpse of the endless horizon. You don't have to describe the enveloping panorama of the coastline wrapping around the fragile skyline. It's all there waiting for you to enjoy it.







It's the feeling of helplessness you get when you stand before a beauty that silences every thought and pierces the proudest spirit: nature in all of its unbridled wilderness... In every contour and every wrinkle, the beauty of God's fine workmanship speaks proud and beautiful volumes over concrete jungles. Suddenly, the line between reality and Eden begins to blur, and the weeping water washing over my feet welcomes me home. I feel like I'm home. I wish I were. Home is kind of like the ocean.










A lot of my shots are blurry, kind of like these sweet moments. Too often I'll try to capture a thousand moments hoping to re-live one half-hearted memory. But maybe that's the beauty of the present - sweet because its only here for a grain of time; it couldn't be captured if we wanted to. Life is too fast to be enjoyed through a lens. If I could relinquish my spectatorship and put my camera down for a second, I might take the palette and hues in with my eyes, the salty sea foam with my nose, and the gentle beating with my ears. I would swear on moments like this.







I think I will take my time today to enjoy this idleness.

travel

.
i've always envisioned adventure to be some sort of journey to a far-off place filled with strangers and foreign smells. To be transparent and completely absorbed in the humdrum of a colorful culture with only polaroids to remember them by; a jealous fly snatching frames from the lives of jaded passer-bys.

or maybe its just the feeling of my imagination taking off

coming soon...

super awesome events in my unfairly exciting life

.
the new jason mraz stuff is off the heezy. currently playing: "a beautiful mess". turn it on to feel me.

i love my new mouthwash. it makes my mouth smell like xylitol. for cave dwellers: xylitol is a delicious gum that cleans your teeth while making them smell apple-smashing good.

has anyone else been blown away by China's opening ceremony? i wont spoil it for you, but i got 10+ chills watching the amount of detail and skill that went into every performance. prepare to be amazed! (watch "sights and sounds")

cooking is my new craft. step into my home and let me cook my way into your heart. my latest creation shown below: balsalmic vinagrette/extra virgin olive oil over a spring salad + romaine hearts, orange/yellow sweet peppers, cucumbers, almonds, baked tilipia marinated in worcestershire sauce, parmesean cheese, and almonds. boom.


i need a dslr. PLEASE SANTA!!!! i would put it to such good use!

went to the sahn diago wild animal park the other day (decided via coin flip) and i loved it very much. i guess its kinda sad that the animals are like prisoners. less hostile and less rape-some prisoners. but i guess its better than being eaten? i digress, my favorite exhibit was the deer one. i love deer. i think they're the most peaceful looking animals. i almost got emotional petting one.

the poor rhino dipped in bronze.

chyea.

so cute. (the deer)

not an animal.

1 of 7 remaining white rhinoceros in the world. the others are just common trash.

a deer-cow in zebra pants?


lions chillin on a jeep. kinda scary.




treating mother nature with respect.


not a wild animal, but still cool to watch

ikea's 2009 catalog came in today. spent a few good minutes on the can looking at mod furnishings. when i get my own house, its going to be the coolest hut on the block. this led to a few hours surfing deviantart.com. theres some amazing stuff up there. nothing better than listening to some good tunes and getting into some sweet art.




had an internship interview a few days ago, and i must say that it was better than my last one. no stuttering, awkward, stupid sentences this time. my would-be boss is a really cool and down-to-earth guy. i hope i get it! crossing my fingers! i find out on monday! more exclamations marks!
