I carved a pumpkin!

So, I’ve been getting some flack for this, but I just thought it would be a great idea!  Seriously, aside from the association that pumpkin carving has with Halloween, this is a pretty good idea right?  It’s a Pro Life Pumpkin! What do you think? Should I seek counseling or something? Somebody said it was [...]

Rush Hour Season

Perhaps it’s the southern California weather that makes this season seem so short, so quickly over.  When it’s 80 degrees in mid October I feel all mixed up inside.  I went surfing two weeks ago without a wetsuit, bizarre. This season runs with a quickened pace.  I’m picking up speed and the pressure is building [...]

Okay, another political post…

I know it may seem like I’m an ardent Obama supporter some times, but the truth is I’m not voting for him.  Don’t be alarmed, I’m not voting for McCain either, so don’t get your panties in a twist. That being said, I do admire and enjoy the creativity that seems to be prominent on [...]

This campaign is boring!

Remember that scene in I Heart Huckabees where character Brad Stand is confronted with the reality that he tells the same story over and over?  Well, this video below is brilliant, and it reminds me of that scene. “If you thought the three presidential debates were similar, here’s proof you were right. This video show [...]

The Red Balloon/White Mane

One of Heather’s favorite films of all time is Le Ballon Rouge (The Red Balloon).  We recently Netflix’d the film and it came with another little feature – White Mane.  Both are French films from the mid 50′s and are truly quite fun to watch.  Beautiful imagery.  Turns out you can watch these films on [...]

Jesus Videos

These videos are a couple years old now and I’ve watched them a dozen times, and thought today is the day I need to post these on my blog.  These videos have circulated through most of the folks that I know, but I was surprised to see that the bulk of these videos still has [...]

Surf racks in the Blue Van

Surf Scene this morning

The sunset was rad last night.  And the sunrise was rad this morning.  Super clear all the way to the mountains… And it was nice when the sun came up over the mountains to warm our backs as we waited for waves; water is dang chilly.  Surfing teaches you patience… Tide was high, but it [...]
