Words
Words pierce like the blade of a knife
swift blows to the heart
slowly disembodied, destroying
unaware of our ultimatums and expectations
We build walls with our words
seeking to conquer and unknowingly divide
but words were gifted with a greater purpose
built on the foundations of love
a torn Berlin of understanding
Words to rebuild, strengthen, empower
Words to live, breathe, and feel

Salvaged Grapeseed Oil Vegenaise
Me: So I bought grapeseed vegenaise. It tastes like cardboard box. :( If you have time, I would love to know your recipe for the chicken salad you made when I went to that meeting at your house, please! I hope life is treating you well, Ate. :) ♥ Jackie
Ate Gigi: LOL! organic chicken breast boiled shredded, white onions, cranberries, green onion, parsley, salt & pepper, sugar (optional) Enjoy baby sis!

A newly learned definition of "Blob"
Blobs = small columns of cytochrome oxidase rich cells.

I’m inspired to make my own template and save the $60 I usually shell out each year to Franklin Covey. You’ve been great, but farewell.

Jeff: hey
what do people usually order when they say "extra shot of" ....
like whats the extra shot of?
Me: Espresso?
You mean for coffee or lattes?
Jeff: latte
extra shot of what??
Me: One espresso shot is the equivalent amount of caffeine in one cup of coffee.
An extra shot of "espresso".
Jeff: k
thanks
Me: A tall drink at Starbucks has one shot.
A grande has two.
A venti has two.
When you ask for an extra shot, you ask for another shot of espresso added on.
Jeff: do some people get grande with an extra shot?
Me: Yes, that's called a "triple grande".
A grande with triple shots. Because it normally comes with only two.
That means, you just want more caffeine.
Jeff: k
thanks
bye

I used to admire these looks in high school. Now, I’m semi-grown up and actually have to dress accordingly at work and down the road in grad school.
Change Our Food System →
Yet another system in our society that really needs policy change and protection from the bottom-up rather than from the top-down.
After watching Food, Inc., I’m seriously considering doing a dual-major. Yep, pretty close to doing it. I might as well. I enjoy my minor. I wouldn’t mind it being another major.
Rodeo Rant
I wish my Rodeo was in better condition. I want to take so many random trips with people and on my own, but alas, it’s not able to make it up the pass to California let alone drive for long periods.
Someday.

The "N"
On Saturday, Albert, Matt, Nate, and I, hiked to the “N” across from Rancho San Rafael Park on Peavine around dusk.
The trail started out relatively flat and windy. When we got closer to the mountain leading directly to the “N”, it got significantly steeper. If you know me, I’m afraid of heights. My knees start to lock up and my legs start to tingle. Yes,...

Once Upon a Free Boat
Nate and I decided to take a random exploration trip to Donner Lake in the middle of our grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s and Raley’s. As we were driving the north part of the lake, he noticed a free boat on the side of the road.
We turned around and had to get a better look. There it was. A free boat, indeed.
I’ve always loved boats. Maybe it’s because my dad was in the Navy and it...
