ohh, look what I did

I spilled beer on the Pinguino/Starhead zine last night at Pioneer Square Saloon.
I spotted an abandoned beer, keep an eye on it for about 15 minutes, then we all got up to move. golden moment.
I STRUCK!
snatched up that beer and emptied into my glass... which caused a chain reaction of beer foam.
beer foam then rose up and took its aggression out on the helpless little, in-progress zine.

I don't write so good..

I get an F-

I'm going to turn that F- upside down and get a solid D-

just like I used to do in school.
YAY!

piece of bread with peanut butter on it.. DIVER!

I was making some peanut butter and honey sandwiches this morning. One of the pieces of bread decided to do an "escape from prison" dive.. he jumped off my stove, did two backflips and landed peanut butter side down on the kitchen floor.

The judges gave him an 8.

the buffalo

When I first made this little dude, he was a symbol of something pure that needs to always remember to stay pure.
The buffalo were driven to near extinction by the Europeans to exhaust the Native Americans food supply. This animal that freely roamed the plains, killed to be killed.. pointless death.

I see everything in the individual, all our struggles through life.. the good and the bad. All of it is good, life is incredible.. and it is our responsibility to always see that.
The buffalo is a metaphor for the pure emotions and innocent way that we see the world as a child. When you are a little kid, you don't know sarcasm, bitterness or anger.. not the same way that many adults see it.
Life isn't easy, and the world can be cold.. if you aren't careful, it will chip away at that inner light and all those pure emotions that you experienced as a kid will be driven to extinction.
The buffalo is a visual reminder to always be a kid at heart, to never give that up.... and, if it has left you in any way.. to seek it back out, it's never too late. Life is gorgeous and the world is beautiful.. any of us can do anything, it's important to always remember that. You deserve to be happy and have fun every day, life is a journey filled with incredible adventures.

The buffalo symbolizes much more now.. from just simply comfort, to conviction, inner strength, pure love and life.
It means whatever you want it to mean.

Life is too long and too short to not live it to it's fullest.
You have unlimited potential, you can do anything... you make it happen.

I WON!!

Yesterday I won "The Golden Gardens Stupidest Sunburn In History Award"... I am so honored.

I had sunblock all over me, except my feets.
We hung out down at Golden Gardens for five hours yesterday and when we weren't swimming out in the cold Puget Sound (pacify yourself), we were sitting on the beach in the sand. I had my feet half covered in the sand all day. I ended up getting sunburned from the very bottom part of my shins to the middle of my feet.

YAY!! I won!
Christmas came early this year

petting cats on the street=mini-makeout sesh

I was walking to the lake a couple days ago and I spotted a cute cat up ahead on the sidewalk. This was one of those super friendly cats, I reached down and pet the little dude. So, I pet said cat for just a second, just a bunch of fast pets.. then I started walking away. I looked back and the cat was still looking around with that "mmm, that felt good, what was that?" look in it's eyes.

petting a cat (cat's perspective) is equal to making out with a person (human perspective)

Petting a random cat on the street is just like making out with a person on the street. The human world and the cat world have obvious differences... but, if both our worlds were the same my theory would be sound.

The make-out sesh could be switched with a hug.
So, if human culture was very much more "hug-based" we would feel more like cats feel. Cats get affection all day through getting pet. Imagine a society of people walking around hugging each other all the time, whether the people know each other or not. hmmmmmmm...I may just be going completely insane.

anyway...hugging and making out with people, and petting cats all equal lots of fun.

hunger vs. sleep

I got home late last night after MNSS2K9.. aka Marathon Night Swim Sesh 2009. I was super tired and I was HUNGRY... I thought I was going to have to resort to a game I play in my mind called "hunger vs. sleep". Whichever one is stronger at the time wins, usually sleep takes the gold. I also had to get a shower to remove all the sick lake sludge and parasites off me, which added more to the dilemma... it almost turned into "cleanliness vs. hunger vs. sleep" and that gets way too complicated.

I found a solution to all of it..

I ended up eating a turkey sandwich in the shower, and it was AWEZOME!!!

I've drank coffee or a beer in the shower, but this was the first time I broke the barrier of actually eating solid foodstuffs.
I'm definitely not going to make it a habit, but it really saved me last night. Multitasking.
I'll most likely stick to my old policy:
liquids in the shower only.

good times!
