this is kind of a touching article
love? <--- whole article
"The romance, which began three years ago, could have resulted in an engagement and maybe even marriage. Instead, it was the latest in a series of fraught relationships, all of which seemed destined to end in failure.
Mr. Bowe, a perpetual bachelor, had been in love twice before — in high school and as a graduate student — but it had been so long and this new feeling was so profound that it shook him to the core. Rather than making him happy, he said, it confused him.
“This facet of experience most people center their lives around came as this alien, funny, unanticipated shock to me,” he said last week, pounding garlic and spices with a mortar and pestle in the kitchen of his West Village studio apartment. He was certain that he was in love, he said, but felt confounded by how to deal with a relationship that “came with so many complications, and a lot of fear, and a lot of pressure.”

he threw the ball?
Really, he's throwing it? With give or take :45sec left, on about the 40 yard line, wide open space, another down to go, and he threw the ball. Damn it. A run 7 yards in, which he easily could have made, a field goal later, and hello Vikings / Colts Superbowl. But no.
It wasn't just that play though. It was the fumbles and the turnover, and not enough energy in the beginning. Im bummed. ...

I don't understand how Arco gas can be $2.45 a gallon and the 76 station down the street is $3.15. Puzzling.
The weather's crazy out there right now. Its scary and beautiful.

mill valley
Last weekend my lady and I headed to Mill Valley. I've been here 3 years, driven up and down, back and forth and past it all but I have never actually visited mill valley. It's about 15 miles north of the city, tucked in away from the freeway, past the turn offs for all the beach towns, and guarded behind the local high school. Its a small town that would probably be considered boring, a little too quaint if it weren't for the closeness to the city, the landscape of the town, and constantly active population.
Its tucked away in the woods. Well more like tucked away surrounded by hills filled with woods. There are hikes, and parks, and the houses sink into the hillsides. There are some definite dream homes back there, that besides getting little sunlight seem perfect. The town "square" or downtown I admit is tiny, but it didn't seem to stop people on a Saturday from spending all day there.
After our hike to the German Tourist Club, finally actually getting a chance to go, we came upon this French man and his son who happen to build the coolest fort against a tree. We got to chatting and the man was nice enough to drive us back down to the town to our car. He had lived in more than 30 countries in his life, God knows how many languages he spoke, and he had the cutest kid of all time. Perfect.

hello 2010
In the past week and a half I was inside of an airport 7 different times. I went on 2 hikes. One in the snow, and one in the sun. I slept - A LOT. I finished a book and haven't started another one. I read some great articles, watched a great doc, and visited a lot. I learned some new games and got my ass handed to me in some old ones. I also drank some wonderful newly discovered beer. I watched some football, none of which was that good. And did it all in 11 days. I also got sick - blah. Hello cold, flu, sinus gunk. Welcome to the new year too.
Courtesy of an extra 5hrs of time waiting around in the SFO airport - only two planes delayed out of the entire airport, and ours was one of them, we got to relax and watch a doc we had both been meaning to see, The Cove. The film is crazy, and sad, and a little cheesy, and completely eye-opening. Everyone should see it. Whilst the time on the front end was nice, it was the time on the back-end that sucked. Thank God Denver was our final destination and not the dreaded mid-point like so many other tired travelers we saw. Coming out of the tunnel from the tarmac was like walking into the doors of the emergency waiting room. People sprawled about, in a helpless state, exhausted and worried. Not wanting to make her sister drive, my gf decided we should hop on SuperShuttle. A good idea considering it was around 2 deg F, the roads weren't the safest and it was only pushing further past midnight. So we hopped in the blue and yellow beast and before we even got on the road the driver was complaining. He didn't want to be working, he was doing someone a favor, and yadda yadda yadda. Ok, fine, I understand you don't want to work, but please don't kill me on the way to our location. Yes, location. The great thing about Super Shuttle is that it picks you up and drops you off at your door, for generally very little cost. It took it in LA once and it was like $7 a person. Apparently not on Christmas Eve in Colorado. Because of complaints that the roads are bad he was only dropping people off at hotels. It was also going to be $20 a person. I'm sorry, but HELL NO. Ill wait for the bus, Ill hop in a cab, $20 for Super Shuttle not to take yo to your location. So did we say no? Yeah, right. We got right in the middle seat of that van and held on. 20min later we got dropped off at our location, The Radison Inn (I think). We were the first ones dropped off which was nice. Right after the van pulled away along comes a van for the Radisson. You know, the free shuttle you take when you are staying in the room. Shit*.
If you have not experience BluRay yet, then good for you. If so, then you know how I feel when I say I'm not so sure about it. Its like a mixture between 3d and video and film and live stage and ahhhhhh. It's confusing as hell but there is also something totally awesome about it. It's like they took the quality of film and de perfected it. Its like they took away all the layers and glossy finish and left us with something that's more raw and real. PS I could be completely wrong, but thats the feeling it gives me. Christmas Eve night with only two options to choose from, the latest Harry Potter or James Bond Quantam of Solace, we opted for the Bond. BluRay Daniel Craigs face as rough as I imagine it being off screen. With wrinkles, and sweat, and dirt.
Breaks are about having time to do the things one wouldn't normally do, so, in the theme of the hour I would like to comment on one more movie I saw. AVATAR, cue the music! Avatar was just about the sickest thing I have seen in a long long time. And not just a movie, or story, but thing. It was just all around bad ass. I fell in love with the characters and with the world that was created. Go see it!
Ok, thats it for now. I know it has been a long long long time since a last post, and also since a last video-a-day. And now, Im back at it.
Cheers to this coming year! To my website finally getting up! To explorations and a many other wonderful things.
