la mesa 2008

I am still 'speechless'..so I'll keep posting photos for now...better than not posting anything at all, I think. Photo from a recent trek/camping trip to La Mesa Watershed (note: not at the "park", but the preserved nature/forest area).

getting past the block

The early part of the year is usually busy for me. Its the perfect weather for trips, not too hot and not too rainy. Plenty of activities usually mean lots of blog entries. Unfortunately, I've repeatedly disappointed myself --- I've sat down in front of my PC, determined to write...and ended up with nothing.

This has got to stop. I miss writing. I miss not minding that people would read what I write. I miss how I tried to reveal without revealing much (I think) in past entries. I miss being the blogger I used to be.

I dont know what the reason is. My theory is that I've always been a sad writer. See, there are depressed writers and happy writers. Those who write and publish their thoughts best when they're in those emotional states. Me, I write best when I'm sad. Note, not depressed, because then its incoherent. Just when I'm having the blues. Since there really isnt much to be sad about, I dont write.

Funny, that should be a good thing. And it is, really. Just not when I'm thinking of lack of blog words.

Starting today, I will be working on making myself into an "Any Writer"......

sheesh. even this entry sucks.

S and A, after two years

This was a few weeks back, but S and A celebrated two years with a nice dinner at newly discovered Zucchinis. The venue and reason for celebration are both highly recommended :)



oh...and to all the "EFs", here's a trip down memory lane (doesnt feel like its been that long!)
