Go On

Google maps passed by my place a few months ago. They photographed my car pretty well, and I think my cat, Calliope, was looking out the window waiting for me to get home.
Thanks to Matt for the lookout.

Chozet tells me he will be at Cibo until 11:00pm. I meet him there after my devastating three mile sprint->run->walk->limp->almost-crawl with Jessica.
Having only been there once long before for a Sunday brunch, I make light, polite conversation and remark on the new decor. Chozet starts me off with soda water and some wine [...]

Early evening, while I was staring off munching on some almonds, the Fedex delivery man knocks to drop off my first package at the new house.
The “From:” says my brothers name, so I rip open the wussy paper packaging with almond fueled fervor to discover its two perfect contents.

1 Red Army shoulder bag, just like [...]

Its official, at 11 o’ clock sharp, 2008 St. Patty’s Day…central time, Chris and I had our first green beers, in our entire lives, ever.
It is at least as nutritious as it is delicious.

My father said, “I like your paintings and I was wrong…”
Those words are powerful even when they aren’t said at times when I most needed them. For the longest time, I carried the voice of my father in my head about the art I made and felt guilty for making them when I could [...]

We ate tacos and drank beers to start the night right.
Only after appeasing the green bellies of the appetite gods do we go to the downtown parking garage pool party where drinking the scotch and ginger ale was free of charge.
There, we stumble upon buckets of water guns and it became impossible to distinguish friend [...]

Last year, I turned 27. Tomorrow, I will be 28.
+365 days to my age, but not sure if I am 1 year wiser.
In the past 6 months, since starting Capoeira, I have broken my body more times than my entire life. I think there comes a point in everyone’s [...]
