Big Blimpin'


Answered prayer can yield funny results. We pray for peace, we pray for guidance and, sometimes, we even pray for something completely out of the ordinary. Two months ago I was driving back from L.A. and I passed a giant blimp. I was jamming loudly to some Neil Diamond (don't judge me, the ipod was on shuffle) and the big blue blimp that reminded me of The Spirit of Adventure from "Up" caught my eye. I took half-a-chorus of Cracklin' Rose to say "God, I want to go on a blimp." And that was it. Two months later...well...check it out:

Top Rama Rama

Over Valentine's Day, my friend and I decided to pop into a Hari Krishna temple for some free food. It was kind of one of those "Well, why not?" moments. The colors were pretty, but the atmosphere was heavy. And I'm still not sure how a broccoli gets enlightened. Oh well. Rama Rama.



























Yum!





The Beginning:


So I'll start at the very beginning (I've been told that's a very good place to start). I was born at an early age to young, naive parents with a knack for attracting the unconventional. In my short time on this planet, I have seen and experienced so many facets of life, met so many people, and observed so many different stories that would be considered out-of-the-box of normal. But they sure are interesting.

As an adult, I've realized that I have inherited the gene that attracts the unconventional. For example, I've befriended several crazy homeless people, been invited to a concert by the Transcendent's Transgendered Gospel Choir by one of it's members at a Goodyear Tires, accidentally popped into an intense Hari Krishna celebration complete with free food, and have been pulled over because the cardboard cut-out I keep in my passenger seat was not wearing his seatbelt. These things may sound out of the ordinary, but this has been the way of my life.

God sure does have a sense of humor.

My goal is to capture it, to capture life. To experience something, to know it, and to share it. Life is to be explored. Let's wander. Let's Ponder. Let's enjoy.

Cheers!
