So long, and thanks for all the fish...

I can't find a job.

I'm beginning to think we have it all wrong.

Humans are suppose to be the smartest animals on the planet, but if that's true, then why are we slaving away all day, every day...


While those damn dolphins just play, and swim, and eat fish all day long. And they live in the most beautiful places.

(smug dolphin)

I want the life of a dolphin.


And some potato chips.

Daniel is a dork.

That is all.

Blah

Blah blah blah.


Blah.

Daniel Suzuki Covers Palos Verdes Fire

Thousands evacuated because of wildfires in the L.A. Southbay area. No one reported injured.

Suzuki said most residents he spoke with weren't very worried about their own houses. L.A. Times says fires were about three-quartes of a mile from homes, and at least one structure was destroyed.

Let's hope for the best.

Here are Suzuki's pictures:

Healing for the Heart and the Soul

I had an English professor who always told us to read poetry. "It's good for you," he said.

And it is. It makes you think critically and creatively.

So here's Shakespeare's Sonnet 29 (thank you Sergio). It will help put things in perspective, no?


If you don't have a love to direct this to, there's always God, Jesus, the Universe, etc...


They/It/He/Whatever never breaks up with you or breaks your heart.


(note: read to punctuation, not the end of a line!)

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Babies and Yoga

This "Current" Viewer Created feature shows mothers doing yoga with their babies.

The teacher says, "Yoga begins now in the present moment. That’s the only place where the babies are. They’re in the present moment."

Amazing.

I want to do yoga with my baby!
Oh wait... I want a baby!
Oh wait... I want to meet a nice guy!

Tonight!!!

Just a reminder that tonight is finally the night. "Project Runway" is back!

It's on Lifetime now, instead of Bravo, but Tim Gunn was on "The Daily Show" last night and promised it hasn't changed at all.
Except...
It's in Los Angeles now!

I love Tim Gunn.
Wouldn't it be amazing to run into him somewhere?

If you've never watched the show, don't be such a snob. It's not like other reality shows where people just act ridiculous. At least the overly-dramatic designers on "Project Runway" are talented.
