    Turning 33…Happy Birthday to Me!

    January 27, 2024 / 0 Comments

    I feel more like myself, more excited, and more at peace with the world than I have in a long time. My relationship with my body is rough. My anxiety and insomnia are still in need of some serious management. I still feel lost and unsure of where I'm headed or even want to go. Life is still hard, but life feels doable finally.

    A Look Back at 2023: Turning Up the Metaphorical Volume

    January 21, 2024 / 0 Comments

    When it comes to my mission to rediscover myself and wake up the real me that I seem to have lost along the way, last year I feel like I made a major breakthrough and the best way I can think to describe it is that it feels like I finally found a way to slowly start turning the volume back up.

    2023 was a Strange Year…And I Don’t Know Why

    January 6, 2024 / 0 Comments

    This year was just strange and got away from me. In many ways, I feel like I didn't do much. If you look at my Bucket List and my goals I didn't meet many of them. At the same time though, as you'll see (if you choose to keep reading this ramble), I actually did do a lot. The first half of the year was filled with tons of waterfall hikes and the second half was packed with concerts (something I haven't done in years).

    The Conjuring Universe is a Disappointment

    October 25, 2023 / 0 Comments

    When we first decided to set out on this horror film marathon, I knew all along it would be turned into a blog post and planned on critiquing each movie. However, now that we are done, I just don't think the movies are worth individual critiques, so instead I will just talk about what I thought and why.

    Realizing what Neon Trees actually Means to Me

    Last week I went to a Neon Trees concert and I realized they are like a long-distance best friend. The special kind that can go years and years without talking, but never miss a beat the moment they are back together. Confused? Let me explain.

    Visiting the Oldest Operating Bob’s Big Boy

    September 10, 2023 / 0 Comments

    Bob's Big Boy - Burbank, opened its doors in 1949, but the Bob's Big Boy franchise began over a decade earlier in 1936. In 1936, Bob's Big Boy creator, Bob Wian, sold his car for $300 and bought a ten-stool lunch stand called "The Pantry" which he then changed to "Bob's Pantry." This would be the first of what would eventually become Bob's Big Boy.

    So where have I been? What made me take the longest break in the history of this blog? I really wish I had a cool, legitimate answer that would justify why I went missing. I wish I could say I was traveling or I got hired by an awesome sustainability outlet (anyone reading this want to hire me?). I wish I could say I bought a house or better yet a farm. It even would be at least interesting if I could come back with a story about falling while hiking
