The Broken Hearted Little Boy Who Grew Up: An NFL...
It happened. I swore to myself that throughout all the drama of the last 4 months, all the ups and downs, the let downs and disappointments, I wouldn’t walk away feeling this angry, bitter, and resentful.
But I am. Today I actually had the thought that Mark Sanchez and his agent, Rex Ryan, and the rest of the Jets administration are doing a better job than the team and player I would give a right...

For the Portland Trail Blazer fans out there. Oden or buying the DeLorean and drafting Kevin Durant…funny!

Hokey Pokey - That's What It's All About
When it comes to things that don’t well together, I think that sushi and frozen yogurt top the list (and yes, I’ve tried it). It’s followed by electricity and water, adolescent girls and Facebook (go back to MySpace and please leave Google+ alone!), and Asian people and Honda Civics…wait, maybe I’ve got that last one wrong.
One more thing to the list: politics and conservatives. Now that most of...

Portland vs. LA - to whom I love the most?
Today I was asked whether I liked Portland or Los Angeles better. I often write about the pros and cons of each…er, mostly the cons of each, so I thought I’d actually punch out an unbiased, friendly, honest list of each!
So here we go.

Thank you @JeremyPedron for this delightful treat. Finally, a website that backs up all the crap I talk when I go to wal-mart.
Seeking Treasure
I’m looking for a treasure in a place I haven’t a map to, in hopes of finding something I’ve been told isn’t mine.
Shortest blog in my writing career.

I left my heart in San Francisco...or was it...
Perhaps the mystery lies within a crevice of the soul that has yet to be fully uncovered and explained in the midst of my constant journeying. Perhaps, the answers are before the mystery.
There are fewer things that I love to do when I go home then have a drink, a cigar, and seeing my friends. More specifically the mysterious light that shines from their eyes amidst new ambitions and the...

Sitting in the airport baffles me. It’s where every facet of human nature comes out, in a full fledging force of evil at it’s core and beauty at it’s finest. There will always be something spectacular in flying - something those who travel oft over look. You board a plane and soar 30,000 feet in the air, to a place where we can never truly explore, and where if we take the time...
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she...”
– Audrey Hepburn (via heatherakemi)
I love this quote by Audrey. To add to it… Once you can see into the eyes, it’s a world few have explored and only fewer make it out…and those who do, regret ever leaving this side of eternity.

Justice Is Served: Why our legal system worked and...
(Photo from MSNBC.com - I claim no rights to this photo)
I was four years old when OJ Simpson was chased down by the police in a scene that would eventually lead to one of the highly scrutinized court cases in the history of the United States Legal System.
I vaguely remember the anger, anguish, and general confusion that would follow in the next three years, as Simpson would be found “not guilty”...

The Great Journey
The last two weekends I’ve done a lot of traveling. Although going to downtown Los Angeles is nothing compared to going to The Bay in terms of committed travel, it is still so far different than the suburbs of La Mirada that it feels as if I’m traveling in a different city all together.
As we sat on my friend Ryan’s porch, overlooking a back alley in Culver City (a district within LA), sipping...

I Smile...cuz' I Got This City Love
There are times when it takes me months or even years to appreciate an experience, and sometimes even then it doesn’t take place like it rightly should. I was sitting at Panera Bread this morning with my friend Kimmy, exasperatedly admitting that we live the “dream life” the world often portrays we Americans to all experience.
First of all, we live in Southern California. When I traveled a few...
