a day in the life of...

quick intro:

Hello. so... about a year ago i moved to the wonderful town that is oakland, the sunny (and soulful) side of the bay (in my humble opinion) and to say this is the most happiest moment in my life thus far, would be completely accurate, but it sounds cheesy so ill say it, but in past thought form as i just did. i found a job relatively quickly, made a nice amount of money (compared to the standard of my past residence, which probably has the lowest cost of living in the country mind you, but is a little less than average bay-wise) then turned around and lost that job just as quickly. that was probably the turning point of my life. it was the first day of the year of the ox, lost my job, and just moved into a new beautiful place, with a beautiful new person. (good thing i saved!)

i wouldn't consider myself an expert in anything really, more of a lover. a few things im completely inlove with are: (and not in any particular order)

r) music/finding new music/combinations of sounds/melodies but more rhythm
o) the human body/fitnes/health/anatomy/the endocrine and urinary system
s) dancing/movement/capoeira/relaxed muscles/when relaxed muscles release gas
e) idea exchange/conversing/company/energy/floating aura colors
m) when western science and eastern philosphy explain each other
a) tea/ jameson/don julio silver/amber and white ale beer
r) trees (both kinds)/nature/colors/when martial arts reflect insect defenses
i) balance/peace/the idea, intentions, actions of love
e) human characteristics in particularly macro-cell production and adaptability


okay im getting carried away. but anyway.. this is a day in the life of!!
