Coin Holder

There is something to be said about a good coin holder. This is mine, it's a sturdy glass holder that brings a smile to my face every time I see it. Can you see how many coins it holds? Quite a few. Sometimes I stick things besides coins in it. Right now it holds some cards, a book of matches and a wine cork. If I'm feeling imaginative I'll pretend that it's holding really hot lava. oooooooh, it warms my hands in the chilly afternoons. My buddy Ficus likes to pretend that it's also holding really good poetry. I told him that the only way to get it out is through short sips. He wasn't too excited about it.

Even though it's only a glass full of coins it is a trooper. Adabella Radici once said that, "If I had to sum up Friendship in one word, it would be Comfort." I've always said that if I had to sum up comfort in one word, it would be coin holder. It's the simple knowing that you've got a few more coins even when the bank is empty. Thank you coin holder.

Mad Hatters and Firemen

The last week has been a blur of job searching, school applying and surfing. Oh, and also reading. I finished reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Fahrenheit 451. Pretty interesting books. Multiple times I've heard people talk about how Lewis Carroll must have been on some type of drugs to have written his Alice books. Although they were a bit bizarre, the story was a children story. I read a short biography on the dude and the story was written for a little girl named Alice, not a drug lord named Jaberwocky. I'm glad I cleared that up.

Fahrenheit 451 was so interesting that it's no wonder that it's a classic. If you haven't read it I won't spoil it for you but you must go out and read the book now. No, I'm serious go out and read it. Although it was written 50 something years ago the book hasn't aged badly, it applies today if not more than the past. mmmmm sweet butterscotch.

I think as Americans we spend way too much time being or trying to be entertained. Also, I made a deal with myself that I have to strike up a conversation with at least one surfer every time I go out. Plus every time I eat ice cream I have chosen to salute humble Toves.

Simple Treat

Some days it feels like you spent the whole day doing nothing, and you probably feel like that because it's true. Today I felt like I spent a lot of time sitting around, but the feeling is deceptive because I definitely spent the day making a wonderful song with some friendlies.

Sorry for the myspace link. It's the easiest site to upload songs.

Cheers Summer.

Summer is officially over.

I'm in a warm bed. I have a fridge nearby full of food whenever I feel the need to grab something. My clothes are actually clean, meaning they don't have the scent of paint and dirt all over them anymore. My car is actually in use and I'm able to talk on the phone without feeding it coins. I saw the ocean and ate at Chipotle. I stayed up past 11 without a signed permission slip and I definitely used the toilet without a paper seat cover.

Being home is good, but I do miss the people who made my summer at Hume the great summer that it was.
