magnificent bastards

back to being the oddball in a circle of smokers

telling Johnny to shut up when he says something stupid

but not actually meaning it because it's funny as hell.

just sitting around,

talking about what had happened, is happening, is hoped to come.

it's like I'm back in Ann Arbor again.

italy

positano, italy

cinque terre, italy

one day,

I'm going to strap myself with a dslr

and go to these places.

rain

raining outside after friday service,

got wet walking to the subway

then found out that the subway home wasn't operating.

heck, I'm already wet,

decided to walk home.


talked to God as I walked,

and He tells me

carry on.

morning

bagel with eggs and english breakfast tea

made the morning very pleasant.

awake (numbers 17)

morning service talked about how the budding of Aaron's staff was God's sure sign that Aaron was indeed appointed by God as a leader,

that thinking that the budding of the staff, a dead piece of wood, was pure coincide,

that it was meant to be,

is rubbish.

the message then told us to be awake to God and the things He does for us,

so that we may not just brush it off or take it for granted.

months and colors

thinking about it,

I think I've always associated months with colors:

january - white
february - sky blue
march - emerald
april - pink
may - light green
june/july - yellow
august - violet
september - dark green
october - orange
november - maroon
december - gray, with a hue of blue

most of these colors seem related to the climate related to these months.

every time the month changes, I can feel my mind "changing colors".

new glasses

so I saw this ad for an online eyeglasses seller.

it said that first time customers get their first pair for free.

I thought it wouldn't hurt,

had my prescription with me and all,

so I ordered a pair.

had to pay shipping, but it was worth a try.

and lo and behold, 

not bad for a free pair of glasses.
