Come back here

Where does the time go?

September is on her way out and October is knocking at the door. As fall approaches, the leaves aren't the only ones changing.

Time certainly flies by though. And although I try to live my life to the fullest everyday... some things take time to take shape and therefore it seems like nothing is really getting accomplished.

Story. Of. My life.

I tend to start a lot of things and never finish them. I need to work on that.

In the meantime, I'm enjoying the fast pace. It means I'll be out of here (SCV) soon.

Quote of the day

"Our biggest obstacles in life are always ourselves."


Today is the 6th day of not smoking.

Hopefully I don't fail tonight as I get hammered with a bunch of polacks at my church.

Festivals to do list

When I'm down, depressed and hating my life, I dive into the world of the Web and find things I'd be interested in doing.

Sometimes it depresses me even more since I know I will never be able to actually do them... but it still lifts my spirits at the possibility of me going.

Here are a few festivals that I want to attend before I die.

1. Tomatina

What: About 30,000 people descend on a little town to participate in the world’s largest food fight mostly using tomatoes. Never had that massive cafeteria food fight when you were younger?

When: The last Wednesday in August.

Where: The tiny town of Buñol in the Valencia region of Spain

2. Burning Man

What: An 8 day festival that culminates in the burning of a 72ft wooden man, this festival is where you can cut loose. Each year has a theme and last year 47,000 people decided to join the fun.

When: Starts 8 days before the American Labor Day, September

Where: Blackrock Desert, Nevada USA

3. Bay to Breakers (I was supposed to go to this this year)

What: It’s supposed to be a 7 mile foot race but instead it’s a 7 mile costume party and keg race that goes through downtown San Francisco. It began in 1906 to keep people’s sprits up after the earthquake and locals are still keeping that alive. Over 70,000 people, congregate downtown in costumes (or nothing at all) and shopping carts filled with kegs.

5. Oktoberfest (the real one. I've been to the one at Alpine Village)
