Ask And Ye Shall Receive
Hey gang! I'm back.. at least for now ;)
Let me give a brief re-cap of the last few months... For starters, I got back into reading books. To name just a few that I finished, I read Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged", Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink", and this book about a 52 year old man that swam the entire Amazon.. he would swim up to 75 miles a day for 66 straight days in the most dangerous waters on the planet. The same guy holds a record for the longest non-stop swim at 84 hours 10 minutes... What does Michael Phelps have on that? The guy is in ridiculous shape too..
I pretty much stopped skateboarding (for now).. but have picked up surfing, rock climbing, ultimate frisbee, volleyball, long boarding, swimming, hiking, and weekly bike adventures through DC. I plan to start skating a lot after summer, maybe even film again.
I've met hundreds (literally) of different people in the last few months. Its been pretty cool. I have learned that my productivity in life goes through the roof when I deny myself the internet and go outside more. I've never owned a computer myself, but between the one I use at work, and the one my landlord's have so graciously provided me, I find myself on the net quite often. The internet is a bottomless well of information to dive into, and I usually occupy my time online learning about something interesting to me, or reading the latest health/fitness/science article. And yeah...I also check Facebook a bunch. But like I was sayin, my life gets much cooler when I get rid of the net and just go out and do things and meet people. I have much more fun, and end up with 10X more stories.
So let me share just one with you that went down sometime during the last several months. One day I felt like going on a short bike ride through DC, and planned to stop by the smaller reflecting pool in front of the US Capital building to do some reading (note: currently this is my favorite reading spot in DC). I love this spot because it's a low traffic area and the water provides me with a very serene feeling while I read. Anyways on this particular day I showed up and to my dismay the pool was drained... I was very bummed, and couldn't figure out why it would be drained during the summertime. So I sat down to think my life over when I noticed a small family of four picking up what appeared to be pennies. I soon realized this family was picking up more than just 1 cent pieces, but also 5 cent, 10 cent, 25 cent, 50 cent, and even 1 dollar pieces of US currency which I'm guessing thousands of tourists had been depositing into the great reflecting pool for quite sometime. So naturally, 30 minutes later my pockets were filled with $60 doll-hairs worth of change. I even met this cute family from Bali that decided to help me in my quest for greed and were bringing me all of "the silver" they could find.
Now I know some of you are probably thinking...isn't that illegal? or..Don't you feel bad stealing people's wishes? Well doggies...Not that I think I need to, but let me provide you with my rationale.. I have read that it is illegal to throw change into the pool, but I have never read that it is illegal to take it out... So in that sense, I think what I did may have even been a public service. As for the wishes...please, we don't live in fantasy land... One thing that did make me feel awkward though, as I rode my bike back to my car, I passed a lot of homeless people, they didn't have the slightest clue that "the jackpot" was right around the corner.
Thanks doggies!
Oh yeah.. if you're curious..this is what I bought with my $60 doll-hairs
PS I've never watched the show "Chuck", but I am in love with this music video somebody made featuring Kenna's "Baptized in Black Light"...whoever that actress is, she is gorgeous. You guys should check out this song..its nice!

Just A Few Thoughts
What to blog? That is the question.
So I am currently absorbed in Napoleon Hill books, after I finish off his stuff I may take a crack at Ayn Rand.
The Coraline soundtrack is way eerie. I love it. It starts with "Exploration" by Bruno Coulais. Sounds French or something but I'm not too sure, may just be gibberish. Reminds me of the rainy days I used to catch fiddler crabs in the ditch next to my grand pap's house. I was the best fiddler crab catcher. Would stay out all day long catching the whole lot of 'em. Then at the end of the day I'd throw 'em all in the pond where they would inevitably swim back to their homes or get eaten up by ducks. Nice of me eh, always thinking of the ducks.
The other song is "Dreaming" which is also by Bruno. This one is total gibberish. It's spooky for real. Reminds me of haunted homes and the last half of October when I was a kid.
Since I'm plugging random music, "Word up Forever" is another joint I'm totally feelin right now. It's completely different from anything I've ever really liked before. I think it's Euro-Rap.
Anyhow, you ever have someone call you and leave a nasty message, then decide it was too much and that they would simply "rerecord", but instead of hitting "erase and rerecord" they hit "continue recording". You are then treated to the real version, as well as the revised 'edited' version. Guess what_I have :) Twas ridiculous.
Im not really into money but I think Im going to be a millionaire.
have a great day bloggy doggy's. And remember never ever hit "continue recording" when you really mean to hit "erase and rerecord". You're stock will hit rock bottom instantly.
;)
