Good Morning?
Couldn’t sleep again. My mental alarm clock went off at 4:30 AM. This time I was fixated on one thing–we’re out of half and half. I just can’t drink my coffee without half and half. Don’t give me that “whitener” shit either. I want Half. And. Half.
I finally got up and, to reduce my carbon [...]

Used To Be My House
When Ray and I were in Chicago two weeks ago, I visited my friend Stephen. He lived across the street from us in our old neighborhood. I had Stephen take a photo of me standing in front of what used to me my house.
I have fond memories of that place. It was in good structural condition when [...]

It’s Not For Everyone
I have had the Lopaka Lounge site for almost a decade. At first it was dedicated solely to my in-house multimedia design studio with an online portfolio and contact info.

Change The Picture
Well, I’ve gone and done it again. I got myself off schedule. I think the play and the website deadline threw me off. Combine that with the washing machine fiasco and a recent trip to Chicago (I’m writing this on my return fight) and you have a cluster fuck. It’s not so bad really. I [...]

That One And That One…
You know that kind of morning where you wake up early and it’s really sunny? There’s a bright green hue appearing on all the mesquite trees and a hint of little blue flowers on the rosemary? I’m having one of them right now. It’s going to be in the mid 70’s today and 82 tomorrow! It’s Spring! [...]

I’m An Adult–Dammit!
In my last post, I spoke of making a frivolous $399.99 purchase for a POD® X3 digital guitar amp modeler just minutes before our washing machine sprung a leak and flooded the house. $399.99 combined with half the cost of a not-so-cheap front loading energy efficient appliance adds up to–a lot for me.
The next day, [...]
