CHICKEN JOHN FOR MAYOR


I have never given to a campaign before, nor have I ever really endorsed a candidate...but this guy makes me laugh, and Gavin is a douche...so I figured I'd give him $25, and my vote.



he has had a few articles in the paper, I've read his blog...it's all pretty ridiculous, and for some reason I think S.F. politics needs this.

Ta!

(stole that from Dan... :)

Sea Ranch Birthday Bash

So, I haven't had much time to post things at home (which is why I am just getting to Sea Ranch...we went in mid-July), mainly because I am paying for an Internet service that I cannot use...which baffles my mind as well, but you know...somethings you just gotta let go and let God...I hate using 12 step references as well, but they actually DO make sense :)

This is Jake and I on Highway 1 (see homecoming picture above) stopping to take a few photos with Jillian and Matt (more pictures will come)...the drive home was definitely fun...I don't really recall ever having been on Highway 1 before, and it was so beautiful...


so, the weekend was great, it was much more functional than I thought it would be, and everyone got along just splendidly! At one point my Dad even told Phil how much he appreciated him...it was fantastic!! The scenery there is so beautiful and rugged, I loved it. There were seals outside every morning, and crabs, and other sea life...it was a big tide pool. Dad, Jillian, Jake and I rummaged around down on the rocks pointing and poking things...
















Jake and I thought we should try some action shots (for my birthday I got two new cameras, so we had to try out the settings)...I think he got more air, but I gave it a valiant effort... Isn't it kinda strange how Jake doesn't have a shadow...am I dating a witch?


















I would love to go camping up there, maybe some time this fall if it isn't too cold. When I was young we went to a place down the coast a bit, bodega bay, and I remember it somewhat...sand dunes, crabs, beautiful beaches, oyster digging, losing my shoes, sand in my crotch, the whole bit. Either way, I'd love to get up there more.

PEET'S COFFEE=PANIC ATTACK IN A CUP



PEET'S COFFEE=CRACK AND SPEED

I'm not a coffee drinker, and for some reason, yesterday I was kinda tired, early to work and thought, "What the heck, I'll get a coffee....everyone else is doing it."

Well, I might as well have jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge because that seems to be the new black as well.

I have never been more uncomfortable for 8 hours in my life. I liken it to when Sara Lamson and I ran the half marathon in O.C. She convinced me (though it wasn't hard) to take two caffeine pills before the race (I know, I know, doping is illegal) and even though I ran a bunch, I had the most restless sleep of my life. At work though, it was even more difficult. I couldn't sit still, i was stretching and standing all day; nor could I focus on work...it was a shit show.

Anyhow, I think I'm over my coffee cravings...I had one from Starbucks (gave me a stomach ache) and now one from the famed Pete's...which made me feel like one of the tweakers on the street...so I think I'm back to sparkling water...does the job just as well!!
