I’m one of those lucky people who gets to walk to work. In fact, I walk a lot of places nowadays (walking is the new fixie bike — I’m starting the trend right now!). You know the only thing that sucks about walking downtown in San Jose? –the stabbings? the homeless people? that you’re seriously …
I hope you all went out strawberry picking at Gizdich last weekend. This weekend I urge you to treat yourself to some of the finer things and take a trip out to Wente Vineyards. Located in Livermore, CA this gem is just a 45 minutes drive from San Jose. Like I’ve said before, Brendan and …
Last week Mr. B and I received a postcard in the mail informing us that it was strawberry picking season at Gizdich Ranch, located in Watsonville CA.

Last year I gave up meat for Lent. It was challenging for only a few days and then I pretty much adjusted. This year, I wanted to kick it up a notch. How you ask? I’m giving up laziness. Here’s what that really means: #1 40 days of working out- This is going to be … Continue reading
This is a diary passage I wrote on August 8th,2012. “What the fuck is my purpose?” Let’s go back, way back, to high school graduation. What a proud day that you were so over being a part of. Although you acted like you were too cool for the tassels and gown, a trickling stream of ambitions had … Continue reading
Almost 2 weeks ago I decided that I was going to track every hour of my day and see how I was using my time. I logged everything I did the whole week, and then took a week to really think about what I observed. Below are my findings (please welcome some nifty charts and … Continue reading

Almost two years ago, I decided to get a tattoo. However the temptation to get more and more is borderline overwhelming. If I succumb to my desires, it would OBVIOUSLY result in sleeves on my arms and legs, words and vibrant pictures on my neck, ultimately screwing myself out of 80% of the careers I … Continue reading
On Father’s Day I had the pleasure of visiting Brendan’s Dad. While sitting on the back patio he told us a story that someone had asked him what the ideal gift was for a dad on father’s day. He replied “something simple that they’ll like, and time. Time is the real gift.” Immediately this came … Continue reading

Ah college, the time to live in the dorms, make new eclectic friends, and really “discover” yourself. Not going to lie, I fucking miss it. Although I tend to think I was more of a college snob than most; I never tried to join a sorority, or drink some mystery jungle juice, nor did I ever … Continue reading
Massive buildings, lights, swimming pools, strip clubs, loud music, scorching hot weather….maaaan, that’s not what I’m used to!

Hello men, I write to you one last time from Manhattan and I have to be honest with you, I found this week’s post a bit hairy to write for you . . . literally. All sorts of facial hair riddled the streets of NYC. I promise not to split any hairs over styles, but … Continue reading
At one point in my early adult years pretty much every shirt I owned was from this website, but now that my wardrobe resembles one of a corporate slave is more adult I unfortunately had said goodbye to my soul my t-shirt collection and pretty much completely forgotten Threadless.com.
