i may be sick, but not of sunsets.
I’m not feeling too hot tonight, but still have to share this awesome sight from yesterday afternoon.
i love me this jetty
Today, I received a phone call from an old friend.
He spotted my beat-up, dilapidated, aesthetically deficient car, complete with countless bumper stickers (from corn palaces to ice cream company’s slightly suggestive slogans to locations exhibiting my car’s various feats of physical endeavor and accomplishment during it 106k+ mile tour de force).
It was in [...]
under the pier
There’s something exciting about being under a fishing pier. It takes me back to those post-school afternoons of eating sliced apples with peanut butter at my neighbor’s house, while watching back-to-back episodes of Baywatch.
When I’m under the pier, I feel like a could be cast as a flagrant vagrant that creeps in the [...]

..an end to a story.
some of those stories carry through the dark of night, lying dormant, waiting to emerge and be continued on the other side of temporal obscurity.
it’s those stories that keep you awake throughout the night, keep you hoping for the next sunrise, that [...]
when the moon hits your eye…
the moon has been amazing the last couple of nights. it’s huge when you’re looking at it from the street, but when you cross the dunes, it shrinks, dwarfed by the vast horizon.
waves: psalm 93:4
sometimes I stand on the beach and just look at the atlantic in awe. the power of this massive body of water is mind blowing. the greatest minds, strongest hands, and most determined spirits are simply dwarfed by its magnitude.

journeys into the unknown
sometimes you just need a friend to push you, to take you to new places, to make you see things in a new light, to explore new places, to meet new people.
that was my weekend. thanks, bro.
