I don’t know if it has something to do with the motorcycle gas that runs in my blood (a lot of my relatives are “bikers”) or if it is my dream of looking and being like madmax. Whatever it is - I really like how the Sachs Madass looks. Today at lunch we were walking [...]

The other day I was on flickr and I happened across a friend’s picture of things that he carries in his pockets. I thought it was really neat. He had linked to the photo pool that had a bundle of people following suit. It is amazing. I immediately took a picture of the things I [...]

I thoroughly enjoyed the new Harry Potter. I just finished it. barely 24 hours after I bought it from borders(I had originally ordered it from amazon, but it was delayed by skinnyCorp being closed). I was a reading machine.
It was a good ending. Enough complexity to make things interesting. It was good. If you like [...]

We are all very different as well. Its really fun. I am always attempting to think of some activity to harness this energy and creativity. [...]
