20200214-20200217. Pre-COVID Shenanigans.

I’m an introvert by trade, but am able to function just fine in social settings. INFJ if that make sense to any of you reading. When travel restrictions were first put in place, I was low-key sort of stoked. I got to work from home, spend more time with the wife and dog, and enjoy my shows on the multitude of streaming platforms that exist these days.

It is now month four of not being able to travel, and might I say I’m getting a little restless. As much as I love the four walls of our Texas home, living the simple life with our dog, and even trying different Texas BBQ recipes on my grill, I’m eager to explore the other parts of the world and show off my beautiful bride.

Here are some photos with the homies in SF the last time my wife and I left the the house. ‘Til next time.

September 12th

It’s always the morning after that’s most revealing. Whether it means recovering from tragedy or reveling in triumph, the morning after is what defines us. Throughout each of our personal histories of break ups, and birthdays, and pink slips, and funerals, and graduations, there come those mornings when we can’t believe what just happened the day before. Sometimes we wake up numb to it, like we almost forgot. When we lose a loved one it seems we become surrounded with daily reminders of their absence: a picture, a scent, a sound.

September 11th was the most significant global event that affected each of us personally. For those old enough to remember, it shook us then and the shock of the day is still palpable. The aftermath of that one morning has shoved and wriggled its way into our lives in innumerable ways. But now, looking back 10 years later, I remember September 12th, the morning after. I remember being relieved that I could return to my routine. I remember feeling thankful the chaos was over, and naively certain that the terrorists were done for now. I imagined the potential devastation of repeated, relentless attacks and I prayed for our country’s protection. It was a confusing morning, but eerily peaceful. Pensive.

In some ways, it feels like it’s taken 10 years for the collective morning after to arrive. Reading and watching all the memorials and commemorations yesterday it felt like the last 10 years were just a chaotic mix of reaction and adjustment to the events of that morning. But now, 10 years later, maybe we’ve finally turned the clock to greet the morning after. To reflect and remember and to turn our ‘new normal’ into a better normal: a grateful return to routine but with hearts and minds moved for the better.

It’s the morning after that will define us as a nation and I think the clock may have finally clicked over. Let’s rebuild. Let’s revive. Let’s be renewed as Americans strong in resolve, deep in compassion and ready to lead. Just as 9/11 was a collectively personal experience, 9/12 must be the same; each one of us, making it our personal duty to make life better for one another. And considering the hell we’ve just walked through together, that would be one heaven of a morning after.

20170126. Vape Nation. This is my trying a vape for the first time.

[d1rtyandleftout]

20170123. Is this there a place? I would say that this is probably my favorite song by Gyptian. I first heard this back in 2005 when Danyo Cummings from Hawaii covered it on YouTube. This was one of the first reggae songs I've ever learned. My sister and I decided to cover it this evening. Enjoy!

20170116. 90′s Vocal Coach.

“There has to be at least a hundred runs in every line.”

This is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a long time! I love the nostalgia the 90s brings to my feels. Mostly the hip-hop and r&b side, but, I do fux with the alt/punk side of the spectrum also.

20170115. OB Noodle House. Ocean Beach, San Diego.

The childhood reunion with long time friends from Japan continues...

Alluding back to my last post, I haven’t seen these dudes in over a decade. Funny story: my friends and I were looking for a laid back kind of night in North Park, San Diego last night. We heard a few funky songs at the bars we visited. That put me in a mood. So we said, “f*ck it,” and went downtown to do a little dancing. We migrated over the a bar called “Analog” in the Gaslamp Quarter. It was a while to get in the bar/club, but we intended on waiting however long it took to get the dancebug out of our systems. As we made our way to the end of the line, I saw an elementary school friend, Cat. We caught eyes and I drunkenly pointed at her, yelling “I know you!” A voice from behind Cat goes “I know YOU!!” It was Pam, another one of my old elementary buddies from Japan who is visiting from the Bay Area.

Seemingly enough, we caught up inside the venue and set up a brunch get together with a bunch of other ole pals from Japan. That didn’t work out because it was really hard for all of us to get out of bed the next morning. We opted for a dinner instead. It was the first time I’ve been to the OB Noodle House and I’m glad it was with these guys. Catching up is the best, seeing how far everybody has come.

20170112. San Francisco, CA. I wanted to get out of town this week so I hit up my buddy to see if he would be up for a trip to the bay. Spontaneity is kind of our thing so the answer was not only a "yes" but a "hell yes." We stayed at a hotel called Hotel North Beach in Chinatown. Our room was set up dormitory style. There was no toilet or shower in the rooms. At every corner of each floor you would find community showers and toilets. I can't complain because I got a hotel in the city for free. We met up with our childhood friend on Thursday night. It's been more than a decade since I've seen her. It's crazy to see how much we've changed/stayed the same all of these years. It's always good catching up with friends you haven't seen in a while. She showed us around this area called, "The Mission," which I probably would compare to the North Park of San Diego. Whiskey. Karaoke. It was a good night.

20160923-20161002 (backtracking a couple of months earlier). Coast to Coast.

I am by no means a videographer. I have the most basic Hero model of the GoPro with no accessories to steady the frames so the shakiness of my hand almost ruined all of the footage. However, I wanted to to share a glimpse of my road trip of when I PCS’ed (moved) back home to the west coast from North Carolina. 

I wasn’t huge on outdoorsy stuff until I joined the military. I’ve only ever experienced the tactical and survival aspect of mother nature. I have never experienced the joys of the great outdoors on my own terms until I got out of the Marine Corps. I made a pact to myself that I would see at least one National Park before heading home. Once I hit the first National Park I’ve ever been to, Badlands National Park, it came to me that EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL in its own way. I would always see pictures of the geological features of Badlands and would always think, “What’s so special about these rocks? They’re just rocks.” And then I saw it in person. I had to step away from the crevasse my jaw made after hitting the ground so hard when I witnessed the Sun slowly shine its morning light across the entire Badlands... I went on to visit 4 more national parks and 1 national monument.

The footage of the scenery I caught from east to west does no justice of the actual sight of these locations. I truly believe there is a higher being orchestrating the creation of all things living. Others call him by different names. I call him, God.

20170104. Korean BBQ with my "Day Ones." Happy New Year! One of my best friends came back from Virginia from the holidays so we went to eat at Taeguki KBBQ in Clairemont. Good to see the homies again. We all met at Kenneth's house and I drove everybody in the new whip (I got a new Honda CR-V on Monday!). After, we went to this dessert joint called Bing Haus, known for their cold coffee brews and rolled ice cream. We played two games of Uno (I forgot how fun that game was) and stayed for a good hour. Lots of laughs, haha. It was a good day.

20161230. White Elephant Onesie Party. Chula Vista, CA.

My friend’s have a Christmas gathering every year, but this year we made it a thing to wear onesies. The onesie I got from Amazon was way too small for me (I wore it any #gangster). This is the aftermath. Everyone KTFO because of the endless supply of Ciroc so I caught them on a involuntary mannequin challenge haha!
