I love colorful and creative light displays,
and the city is full of them right now!

I can’t believe this song is real!

It seems like it should be on SNL or a song by The Lonely Island.

“Strangers are exciting, their mystery never ends. But, there’s nothing like looking at your own history in the faces of your friends.”

It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.

This picture is too good not to share.

My friend Steve showed me this picture from the NATO protests in Chicago. 
I’ve missed out on all the mess since I’ve been out in California, but it has been interesting to hear from friends about it. It has also been interesting to see how the media is portraying it versus what my friends say is actually going on.

Anyway, this picture is great.

So excited for my amazing friends Rocky and Laura. Such a beautiful wedding <3 (Taken with Instagram at Peacock Farms)
